Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it. The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state. What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it. Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure. In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

@Lennyn10 @HetkeBrian @VigilantFox You go ahead and project your own emotions onto me buddy. Good job....

@IsItAnyWonder1 @HetkeBrian @VigilantFox Is there a scan that can measure and explain your disproportionate anger in this thread lol

Friends star Lisa Kudrow gets philosophical with Bill Maher and says she no longer believes consciousness lives in your head at all. Kudrow, who studied biology, says consciousness “exists in a field.” Maher was visibly confused about what the heck she was talking about until she referred to his smoking habit. KUDROW: “I’ve been listening to physicists are thinking about the difficult question of consciousness and deciding that what makes the most sense is its consciousness is not in here [the brain]. It exists in a field, the field that is everywhere. But it’s not in here.” MAHER: “I don’t understand that. What do you mean everywhere?” KUDROW: “You like writing while smoking, right? Or being altered in some way?” MAHER: “Yes, exactly.” KUDROW: “Neuroscientists are saying the brain is a great filter, especially this front part… Once you make the filter a little more permeable, you’re getting access to some things. And creativity is one of those things that maybe doesn’t start here [the head], but it comes in when you’re in a flow.” MAHER: “And that’s what the machines can’t do.” What’s your take on this? Is consciousness just a product of the brain, or is Kudrow onto something here?

@yeeeerika You're warm. They aren't. The rest is your projection.

when your pet curls up next to you because they want to be near you, it's one of life's greatest honors

@RespectfulMemes So THAT'S what the 'Four Horses' from the 'Apocalypse' look like

@piersmorgan Jesus if those two monsters were my parents I'd be losing my sht too.

Wow. He really is the Prince Harry of spoiled brat entitled sons. Imagine doing this to your family for cash?

@wurooods Gonna eat me a new window.

i’m crying imagine being so tiny that your house is literally just an apple

@officialDannyT I'm the Danny Trejo from Heat, where he says 'I can't feel anything man', as he lies on the floor, in a pool of his own blood, dying.

On a scale of Danny Trejo how are you today?

@canvastag @VigilantFox "Penrose's theories on consciousness are highly controversial and viewed skeptically by many neuroscientists and physicists." x10 when filtered through Lisa kudrow's understanding of it. 0/10. Try better.

@IsItAnyWonder1 @VigilantFox Penrose is who she is talking about. Hardly pseudo science, you midwit youtube.com/watch?v=YnXUuy…

@HetkeBrian @VigilantFox Key word: "MEASURE". As opposed to Lisa Kudrow's claims: "THEREZ A MAGICAL FIELD OUT THERE" With NO measurements. Of ANYTHING. 0/10 TRY AGAIN.

@IsItAnyWonder1 @VigilantFox They measure neurons, not consciousness. Your philosophical assumptions are showing, might want to get those peer reviewed.

@MelvinNaoya All very well, but what happens when I wear my Kryptonite necklace at your next drinks party? I'm not picking up all those books. Not again.

I didn't expect this to be a book stand🫪

@sulliv44676 @VigilantFox Show one study that proves YOUR ORIGINAL claim. That's how science works, moron.

@IsItAnyWonder1 @VigilantFox Show one study that says it is a scam, go ahead...

@HetkeBrian @VigilantFox Yeah, all those stupid cognitive neuropsychologists, with their peer reviewed papers, asking for facts instead of 'your opinions/feelz'. My days you are a loser.

@IsItAnyWonder1 @VigilantFox “fMRI scan studies prove it’s nonsense” Is ironically pseudoscience.

@PolymarketSport How many World Cup 2026 matches do YOU think have been rigged/fixed for betting cons?

🚨BREAKING: Someone just put $1M on Spain to WIN their match vs Cape Verde today This pays out is $1,085,943.48 on Polymarket

@PicturesFoIder Size of Joe's tie is directly proportionate to the size of his tiny brain, rattlin' around in that big ol' head of his.

Size of the tie that Joe Rogan is wearing

@naturelife_ok Aw, he looks just like Beatle George. NOW I know where they got those haircuts from

Gloster canaries famous for their most distinguishing feature, a crest resembling a bowl haircuts complete with fringe, are the result of selective breeding in Gloucestershire, England, in 1925

@MartinDandach Can Donald Trump invade me next? I could use some extra cash

Donald Trump acaba de firmar un acuerdo de paz con Irán donde se cumplen todas las pretensiones iraníes: -Se liberan los activos congelados de Irán. -Se levanta el bloqueo naval de Estados Unidos. -Israel se retira y abandona completamente el Líbano. -Estados Unidos compensa económicamente a Teherán por los daños. -Estados Unidos baja la cabeza y acepta que no va a poder remover el gobierno de los Ayatollahs. Todo para que el régimen iraní reabra el estrecho de Ormuz que estaba abierto antes de que empiece la guerra. Trump perdió decenas de hombres, aviones, vehículos, radares, drones y millones de dólares. Esta es una de las peores catástrofes militares en décadas para Estados Unidos. No hay otra palabra que se me ocurra que no sea HUMILLACIÓN.

@DreyfusJames I'M IN YOUR BALLETZ, STEALIN' YOUR SPOTLIGHTZ

I just love this. I love the professionalism & commitment of the dancers. I love their determination to carry on through the most tragic moment of the dance. But we all know everyone is watching the cat…🤣🤣🤣
