"A #yarmulke-wearing #basketball prospect who gained online fans with highlight-reel #dunks announced his next major leap Wednesday: He’ll try to be the first #Orthodox player to play four years of #DivisionI men’s #collegebasketball.

#ChaimGalbut, a 6-foot-7 wing who played high school basketball for #MiamiCountryDay #School, a nondenominational #Jewish K-12 school, before graduating in 2025, announced in an Instagram post that he will attend #DuquesneUniversity in the fall.

#tgif It is Friday in #pittsbugh and I get to drag my generator to work to power the servers and my office. We are still trying to recover from a line of storms that hit us late on Tuesday. I am told that my company will not have power until next Wednesday. I am not sure that makes sense.

Come on #Duquesne Light this is costing me money by the minute. On par with the stupid #tariffs. Why have we been pushed to the bottom of the priority list. Is that what you think of the little residential track behind us?
