@jonjoules_ @unusual_whales @grok no shit dumbass

@unusual_whales @grok could this be inside trading??

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

Malcolm Gladwell explaining why some people succeed and some don't.

Scientists put kids through 100 hours of reading, then scanned their brains. New wiring had physically grown inside the language regions. Communication between brain areas sped up by a factor of 10. Kids who didn't read showed zero change. That was a 2009 Carnegie Mellon study. It gets wilder. In 2013, Emory University scanned 19 students every morning for 19 straight days while they read one novel chapter each night. Mornings after reading, the brain areas responsible for understanding other people's emotions lit up with new connections. So did the region that processes physical sensation. Their brains were simulating what the characters felt, as if it were happening to them. Those changes stuck around for 5 days after they finished the book. Now flip to scrolling. A massive review published in Psychological Bulletin last September pulled together 71 studies covering 98,299 people. Heavy short-form video use (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) showed a clear pattern: worse attention, weaker self-control, and more anxiety. Consistent across teenagers and adults, across every platform tested. Oxford didn't name "brain rot" its 2024 Word of the Year for nothing. A 2024 brain wave study found that people hooked on short-form video had weaker activity in the front of the brain, the part that controls focus and impulse control. Separate brain scans showed the same thing: heavy scrollers had less activation in the exact regions that deep reading strengthens. UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has been studying this for decades. Humans were never born to read. There's no gene for it. Reading is something we invented, and it hijacked neurons that were originally meant for recognizing faces. Over time, it built entirely new brain circuits connecting language, vision, and emotion. But those circuits only survive if you use them. Stop reading, and they fade. Wolf's conclusion is simple: screens built for speed produce a speed-wired brain. Books built for depth produce a depth-wired brain. One honest caveat: most of these studies are snapshots, not long-term tracking. People who already struggle to focus might just prefer short videos. But the same pattern showing up across nearly 100,000 people is hard to shrug off. The tweet repeats the line seven times. The research backs it up with brain scans, EEG data, and white-matter imaging across tens of thousands of people.

we moved on from this diva too quickly

I remember seeing a post about how normalized AI in advertisements making the company look cheap will mean real art will start becoming the standard for brands to seem more luxurious and it's really happening

@retrojeff3 couldn't be me bro, honestly i just got sent this by the person who is constantly fucking rage baiting me

rage baiting the girl with avoidance issues by being committed, good at communication and loving her deeply

@questmoosa wow love this

You have high self-esteem when your psoas muscle is strong. You strengthen psoas muscle > You adopt a beautiful and upright posture automatically -> Gut compression & irritation reduces dramatically -> You like what you see when you look in the mirror swiftly Just exercise your psoas muscle already - once you notice how amazing you feel and how beautiful you look - you will strengthen this muscle daily - no doubt about it. The psoas is known as the "muscle of the soul" Exercise your soul muscle today! (Make sure you do it correctly though)

This can't be real this can't be real this can't be real this can't be real
