The Unknown Pundit

@Leftina1 @jackskindagay @umichvoter I don't have to change the subject but the protesters sure did. They changed it to no longer giving a fuck because the GOP wasn't paying them anymore!🤣🤣🤣

@UpPodonX @jackskindagay @umichvoter Why the change of subject? Can't admit that this is why she lost?

In her book, Harris wrote that Buttigieg “would have been an ideal partner if I were a straight white man.” She noted “we were already asking a lot of America: to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man. Part of me wanted to say, Screw it, let’s just do it. But knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk.” politico.com/playbook

@aspmom5 @brennanleach You mean the girl in the AI created video sent by Skreli? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@UpPodonX @brennanleach Would you tell them before or after he fucked this girl?

Swalwell’s congressional & campaign senior staff are out with a new stmt “We’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN” “The behavior detailed in these reports is abhorrent, beneath the dignity of those serving in public office and betrays the trust of all Californians,” they write

@VeritasLiberta8 @brennanleach GFY!

@UpPodonX @brennanleach And this is how sociopaths obtain power, people like you.

@StephenM When do you not project?

The Democrat Party exists now to make America into a third world country. It is the mass looting of a civilization.

@DonaldJTrumpJr Including the thirteen year old girl your dad raped!

Believe all women. Thats what he told us right?

A community college professor taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years, and the video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings on the internet. His name is Marty Lobdell. He spent his career as a psychology professor watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because nobody had ever taught them how their brain actually works under the pressure of learning something hard. The lecture is called "Study Less Study Smart." Over 10 million views. Passed around in Reddit threads, Discord servers, and university study groups for over a decade. And the core insight buried inside it has been sitting in cognitive psychology research for years, waiting for someone to explain it in plain language. Here is the framework that completely changed how I think about effort. Your brain does not sustain focus the way you think it does. Studies tracking real students found that the average learner hits a wall somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency doesn't just decline. It collapses. You're still sitting at your desk, still looking at the page, but almost nothing is going in. Lobdell illustrated this with a student he knew personally. She set a goal of studying 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week, to pull herself out of academic probation. Thirty hours of studying per week. She failed every single class that quarter. She wasn't failing because she lacked effort. She was failing because she had confused time spent near books with time spent actually learning. The 25-minute crash hit her at 6:30pm every night. She spent the next five and a half hours sitting in the wreckage of her own focus and calling it studying. The fix sounds almost too simple. The moment you feel the slide, stop. Take five minutes. Do something that actually gives you a small reward. Then go back. That five-minute reset returns you to near full efficiency. Across a six-hour window, the difference is not marginal. It is the difference between thirty minutes of real learning and five and a half hours of it. The second thing he taught destroyed something I had believed about how memory actually works. Highlighting feels productive. Going back over your notes and recognizing everything feels like knowing. But recognition and recollection are two completely different cognitive processes, and your brain is very good at making you confuse them. You can see something you've read before and feel completely certain you understand it, even when you couldn't reconstruct a single sentence from memory if the page were blank. He proved this live in the room. He read 13 random letters to his audience. Almost nobody could recall them. Then he rearranged the same 13 letters into two words: Happy Thursday. The whole room got all 13 without effort. Same letters. Same count. The only thing that changed was meaning. The brain stores meaning. Not repetition. The moment new information connects to something you already understand, the retention changes entirely. This is what the cognitive psychology literature calls elaborative encoding, and it is the mechanism underneath every effective study technique. The third principle was the one that hit me hardest, and the one almost nobody applies. Lobdell cited research showing that 80 percent of your study time should be spent in active recitation, not passive reading. Close the material. Say it back in your own words. Teach it to someone else, or to an empty chair if no one is around. The struggle of retrieval is where the actual learning happens. Reading your notes again is watching someone else do the work. His parting line has stayed with me longer than almost anything else I have read about learning. He told the room that if what he shared didn't change their behavior, they hadn't actually learned it. It would just live in their heads as something they had heard once and felt good about. He was right. And most people leave every lecture exactly like that. The students who remember everything aren't putting in more hours. They stopped confusing the feeling of studying with the fact of it.

@_Abides_ @RobertGarcia There's controversy because you idiots believe the BS! Just like with the supposed massive fraud that never fucking happened. None of this is my doing or Dems doing, it's the GOP who ginned up this phony issue.

@UpPodonX @RobertGarcia oh is that why there's all this controversy surrounding men in girls locker rooms then? are we to pretend you do not know this? are we to also pretend this is not your doing, you supported this, and still do?

There is no place in our country or the Democratic Party for those who abuse women and girls. I stand with the courageous survivor who shared her story. Congressman Swalwell must leave the Governor’s race immediately.

@FTFonFS1 @Chris_Broussard @getnickwright @kevinwildes instagram.com/reel/DWpviRPDp…

Earth is 4.5 billion years old, not 6000. You need to watch this.

@RepLuna What about Gonzo?

I am filing a motion to expel Eric Swalwell from Congress.

@_Abides_ @RobertGarcia Men aren't in girls locker rooms, you idiot!

@UpPodonX @RobertGarcia it is part of their dastardly plan to keep men out of girls locker rooms.

Wow!

@NormEisen @DDFund_ This should be part of the Democrats' contract with America! Full PUBLIC investigation!

BREAKING: @DDFund_ is demanding a CFTC investigation into anonymous traders who netted millions on suspiciously timed bets on US military actions—Iran ceasefire, Venezuela invasion & more Alleged insider trading on war plans IS a national security threat CFTC must act now - TN

@chucktodd I think you got that exactly backwards Chuck. Trump set the precedent that he was going to weaponize the DOJ. Everything he falsely accused Biden of, Trump is doing. Joe knew, it was coming. So after watching his son persecuted for 4 yrs by the GOP, he put a stop to it!

Perhaps Trump would have done this regardless, but let’s not forget Biden created this pre-emptive pardon precedent. The only good news that might come out of this pardon corruption: we will get a bipartisan supported Constitutional amendment to create a Congressional nullification process for all presidential pardons.

@AdamSchiff Be careful Senator, Roger Stone & the Trumpers can make phony allegations against you too! Will you heed other people when they tell you that you should resign? On mere allegations?

I have read the San Francisco Chronicle’s account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations. This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously. I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race.

@RpsAgainstTrump I'd like to see a pic that shows the money that Obama released to them, next to the money Trump has allowed them to get through both, as well as allowing them to sell the oil that they were barred from selling. Trump gave them at least 7X more than Obama dis!

BREAKING: A senior Iranian source told Reuters that the U.S. had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks, adding that the move is “directly linked to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.”

@BrianLeonardson @timkaine Great rhetoric when you're proven wrong! It's OK you can just say that I was right!

@UpPodonX @timkaine Whatever fool

This is an un-democratic decision. I’m disappointed the Supreme Court will allow partisan gerrymandering to continue plaguing our system. Voters should pick their leaders, not the other way around.

My favorite economist with more news about Trump Regime 2.0

@LostDarling @samstein

@UpPodonX @samstein Trump was out to get Swalwell...

The accusations against Swalwell aren't he-said-she-said. They're well reported, fairly corroborated, detailed and damning. And while he's denying them, it's with precise language ("These allegations are false" v. I have never engaged in any such type of behavior). He has allies abandoning him (Pelosi giving the TKO) and, in all likelihood, more stories coming. This is unsustainable.
