Colour Socks Parade 2025 – Colourful celebration by MINDS entertains again
The celebration was officiated by longstanding patron Mr Eric Chua, Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Social and Family Development & Ministry of Law.
The Colour Socks Parade 2025 theme of 'One Heart, One MINDS: Celebrating Inclusivity through Sports' was on display all around One Punggol's huge plaza. The mini golf, archery, bowling, basketball and soccer stations were a hive of activity with over 1,000 guests trying their hand(s and feet). Alongside them were participants from MINDS schools, caregivers, corporate partners and volunteers.
On the other side of the plaza, lines of stalls displayed food and wares created by Persons with Intellectual Disability (PWIDs). These ever-popular items, especially the baked goodies, often sell out very quickly.
I have a pair of very well-made 'Spirited-Away'-themed coasters that I bought last year on my desk right now. A bottle of MINDS cookies joined them this weekend and will probably be all eaten up by the end of today.
Events like Colour Socks Parade 2025 are more than a day of recognition for those who often are invisible in society. 'My son has never felt this seen before,' said a parent whose 15-year-old boy beamed as he showed off his self-painted socks. 'Today, he got to be the star.' A volunteer added, 'I think this is one of the happiest events I've ever attended. There's no performance here — just pure, genuine joy.'
That joy was apparent for all to see and I was glad to be there. You should see it for yourself.

Jonquel Jones and Sabrina Ionescu have double-doubles, Liberty snap streak of losses to Lynx 85-75
Jonquel Jones had 22 points and 10 rebounds, Sabrina Ionescu added 17 points and 11 assists, and the New York Liberty beat the Minnesota Lynx 85-75 on Tuesday night, after losing the first three meetings between the teams this season. Both teams were without a star player — Minnesota's Napheesa Collier missed her fifth game with a right ankle sprain, and the Liberty's Breanna Stewart is still sidelined with a bone bruise in her knee. Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman picked up the mantle for Minnesota (28-6), scoring 17 points and 16 points, respectively. Jessica Shepard had 10 rebounds. New York (22-13) opened a 12-point lead in the first quarter. By the time Ionescu hit a 3-pointer to end the first half, they were still ahead by 11 points. A series of Lynx steals and Hiedeman 3-pointers shrunk New York's lead to 66-60 heading into the final quarter, and New York's advantage thinned to four as time wound down. But another long-range 3-pointer from Ionescu widened the lead to seven in the final minutes — to the celebration of a packed Barclays Center — and a final layup from Kennedy Burke sealed the deal.

College Football's Brain Drain: Has America's Wildest Sport Run Out of New Ideas?
For decades, the start of a new college football season meant you were about to see something you'd never seen before. Every fall, some new offensive scheme seemed to turn the entire sport upside down, propelling a smaller school to new heights while the traditional powers stood around and scratched their heads.

Baltimore, Penn State and the pressure of being oh so close
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Hit the dougie for John Wall today. There is a special, unfortunate place in sports history for the teams and players that almost did it. Those that, in any alternate timeline, would be believable, worthy champions. They hang no banners, but among ball-knowers, they earn solace and respect. Two football teams, at two separate levels, occupy said space heading into this season. Which makes them arguably the most compelling outfits in college and the NFL, respectively. Let's start in the pros: The Ravens almost feel cursed at this point. A perennial contender with a two-time MVP at quarterback, a coach who's won a ring and maybe the best front office in the league. Since Lamar Jackson took over as starting QB in 2019, they've averaged 11.3 wins per season and have one appearance in the AFC title game to show for it. Apologies to Ravens fans for the early pressure. Let's move on to another tortured fan base, this one in the college ranks: Is there any team more intriguing than Penn State this year? Much like the Ravens, the Nittany Lions have been among college football's best over the last three years — averaging exactly 11.3 wins a year in that span, too, which includes last year's Playoff run. 'Penn State looks so much like Michigan and Ohio State of the past two years, with a team full of NFL players who came back another year to try to win it all. It's not a flawless team — pass-catching weapons need to step up — but it's a good mix of talent and experience. Yes, James Franklin is 1-15 against top-five teams at Penn State, but he rarely had the better team in those matchups. This year, he does. And in a 12-team CFP, you can lose a game or two and still win. Penn State gets over the hump and wins it all.' Advertisement Convincing, really. The Franklin note is stirring, too, because the man — despite being a great recruiter and motivator — has a rep for fizzling in big games. Ralph Russo wondered if he's overrated or underappreciated. I think this year will go a long way toward deciding that. Godspeed, fans of both teams. Football is near. We'll have more in the coming days. Let's move on: Wall announces retirement John Wall, 11-season NBA veteran and No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft, announced his retirement yesterday, which is another reminder that we're all one step closer to the grave. Wall, 34, was a transformative player, a terrifying mixture of speed and grace who was breathtaking to watch. His best years in Washington, where he spent his first nine seasons, came alongside Bradley Beal. See more here. The Colts' failure We knew this was a possibility the moment Indianapolis signed Daniel Jones, and yet now that it's here — Jones will be the Colts' starting quarterback this season — the weight of this decision truly sets in. Anthony Richardson, the uber-talented yet raw QB drafted at No. 4 just two years ago, has already become a backup. The move is understandable; the 23-year-old Richardson has been inconsistent at best over the last two years, and that's being generous. But to give up on a top-five pick after two seasons? An ugly process from draft to now. More news 📫 Love The Pulse? Check out our other newsletters. Remember MLB's home run race we chatted about a while back? It has slowed a tad, but remains one of the better storylines as the league races toward the playoffs. Let's do a brief check-in with our big three: I want to reiterate that we have seen just nine 60-homer seasons in the history of this sport. Bump that number back to 56 and it's just 21 occurrences. And, to be clear, if each of those guys hits their projected number, they'd have career highs. Raleigh's already eclipsed his by 13. Dingers rule.

I really enjoyed Alec Lewis' profile of Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, a 'normal-ass dude' who might be actually the NFL's most fascinating decision-maker. Richard Deitsch has an extremely fun list of the 25 most impactful play-by-play voices of the 21st century. There's a fan poll in there for you to rank them, too. Hot take: I think Kevin Harlan deserves the crown. Alexander Isak has set fire to Newcastle, George Caulkin writes, and it's unclear how the sides go from here. Woof.
