@milloswiftie It’s an amazing song. Brian Wilson had Mike, himself and Al sing it but decided Carl, who did mostly background vocals, was the best fit.

Según Paul, es de las mejores canciones que escribió en su vida. Inspirada en Pet Sounds y con una sencillez impresionante, este tema vio su lugar en el disco. Incluso John la elogió años después. En medio de tanto experimento es perfecta desde la simpleza open.spotify.com/track/2B4Y9u4E…

This is precisely why we are a print-first publication: “people understand less on screens.” Put down the phone and pick up the printed word, your grasp on reality depends on it.
Anish Moonka@anishmoonka

Went down the rabbit hole on this. Your brain treats a physical book like a landscape. It builds a spatial map of the text, the same way it maps trails, rooms, and city blocks. When you scroll on a phone, that map breaks apart. Seven large-scale research reviews and direct brain scans confirm what you already feel. A 2023 study in PLOS ONE attached brain-activity sensors to children’s heads while they read the same text on paper and on screen. Paper reading produced fast brain waves, the pattern linked to focused attention. Screen reading shifted the brain into slow waves, the pattern linked to mind wandering and daydreaming. Same kids. Same words. Measurably different brain states. A separate 2022 study from Showa University in Japan scanned the front of the brain, the area that manages focus and comprehension, during phone versus paper reading. Smartphones sent that region into overdrive, meaning the brain was straining just to keep up with basic processing. Paper reading produced a moderate load that triggered natural deep breathing, which helped regulate brain function and sustain focus. The phone suppressed that breathing pattern entirely. Since 2017, researchers have published seven major reviews combining hundreds of individual studies. Six of seven reached the same conclusion: people understand less on screens. A 2018 review of 54 studies and 170,000+ participants, literally titled “Don’t throw away your printed books,” found paper outperformed screens across the board for non-fiction. A 2024 follow-up with 49 more studies confirmed it. The gap has grown steadily every year since 2001. Being a “digital native” doesn’t help. The best explanation is how your brain tracks where you are. Your short-term memory can only juggle about 7 things at once. A physical book gives you constant location cues: the weight shifting from right hand to left, where a paragraph sits on the page, how thick the remaining pages feel. Your brain hands off the “where am I in this text?” job to those physical signals, leaving more room for actually understanding what you’re reading. On a phone, every screen looks identical. Your brain has to track position and process meaning at the same time, and something gives. A Norwegian eye-tracking study analyzing 25,000+ individual eye movements found screen readers processed text more shallowly. The students had no idea they were reading differently. In 2019, nearly 200 reading scientists from 30+ countries signed an open letter warning that screen reading was degrading deep comprehension. Since then, Scandinavian countries, among the most digitized school systems on Earth, have started putting physical books back in classrooms.

@Zigmanfreud You have an often amazingly accurate BS detector. It looks like you’re above the target on this one. Be careful.

If Cesar Chavez was really, with great recklessness, sexually abusing girls in the 1970s, he should have many victims who’re still alive & have now been emboldened to finally tell their truth to a media eager to make them heroes. And yet, so far, no one else has come forward? 🤔

Dodger pitcher Jerry Reuss was in a tight ball game. Tommy Lasorda went out to the mound with the intent to pull Reuss out of the game. Of course, Reuss wanted to continue to pitch. As Lasorda and Reuss were going back and forth about his staying or going, catcher Steve Yeager finally made it to the mound. Lasorda told Reuss that he would put it to a vote and be Democratic about it. Lasorda voted to pull Reuss. Reuss naturally said he wanted to pitch. With Yeager by his side, Reuss figured he had this in the bag. Lasorda asked Yeager what he thought, and Yeager said: "Shit, I would have pulled him two innings ago." "The Conference On The Mound" Leslie Thrasher, 1911.

it took me a rewatch of Breaking Bad to catch this… For the longest time, I thought Gus killing Victor was just him being cold and ruthless. But it actually makes a lot more sense when you think about it. Victor was seen at Gale’s apartment the night he was killed. That means if the police started asking questions or a sketch got released, Victor could’ve led straight back to Gus and the lab. At that point, he was a walking liability. So Gus removed the risk before it could become a problem. And at the same time, he sent a crystal-clear message to Walt and Jesse: nobody is indispensable.

Went to the doctor the other week My wife made the appointment She said I "look tired" I said I am tired She said "not normal tired. Weird tired." I don't know what that means but I went anyway Nice office Fish tank in the lobby Third one this year Signed in at 1:48pm My appointment was at 2:00pm 12 minutes early Because I was raised to believe that matters The receptionist said "the doctor is running a little behind" I said "how far behind" She said "about 45 minutes" I said "so my 2:00 appointment is actually a 2:45 appointment" She said "we appreciate your patience" I said "I haven't shown any yet" My wife grabbed my arm There was a sign behind the desk "Missed appointments without 24-hour notice will incur a $75 fee" The doctor was 45 minutes late Nobody offered me $75 We sat down CNN was playing on mute with subtitles Running a segment about New York City redesigning its trash cans Cost the city $4 million I looked at my wife She said "don't start" Seven magazines on the table All from 2019 I read an article about supply chain disruptions that have since been resolved Very informative My wife was on her phone She looked up and said "WebMD says you might be dehydrated" I said "so we're paying $1,800 for a second opinion on WebMD" She went back to her phone At 2:54pm they called my name A nurse walked me to a room Took my blood pressure Took my temperature Typed for three minutes Then said "the doctor will be right in" I sat on the paper The paper ripped immediately I looked at the wall There was a diagram of a colon Not how I planned to spend my Tuesday 3:19pm The doctor walked in 1 hour and 19 minutes after my scheduled appointment He was looking at his phone Shook my hand without making eye contact Sat down and read my chart for about 30 seconds While I sat there watching him learn who I was He said "so what brings you in today" I said "my wife thinks I look weird tired" He said "what does that mean" I said "I was hoping you'd tell me" He said "when's the last time you had bloodwork done" I said "2019 maybe" He said "we should run a full panel" I said "fine" He asked if I was sleeping well I said "I have three kids and a golden retriever who thinks 3am is a reasonable time to need outside" He said "are you drinking enough water" I said "probably not" He said "that might be it" I said "you think the reason I look weird tired is because I don't drink enough water" He said "dehydration is more common than people think" I said "I've been here over an hour and sat on a piece of paper that ripped to be told to drink water" He said "we'll know more when the bloodwork comes back" I said "when will that be" He said "3 to 5 business days" I said "business days" He said "yes" I said "my blood has business days" He didn't respond Then he said "any other concerns" I said "several. But none you can bill for." He shook my hand again Still no eye contact Total face time with the doctor: 6 minutes Total time in the building: 1 hour and 37 minutes I was examined for approximately 6% of the time I was present I've fired people for better numbers than that My wife was in the waiting room She asked how it went I said "I need to drink water" She said "I told you that last week" I said "yes but now it's a medical opinion so it costs $1,800" She didn't laugh In the car she said "at least now you know you're fine" I said "I was fine when I walked in. I just didn't have the receipt to prove it." She didn't disagree The bloodwork came back four business days later Everything was normal The doctor's office sent a message through their portal It said "results look great. Continue to stay hydrated and follow up in 12 months." Follow up in 12 months To be told to drink water again $1,800 1 hour and 37 minutes 6 minutes of face time One ripped piece of paper And the same advice my wife gave me for free Plz fix. Thx.

"Really, coaching is simplicity. It's getting players to play better than they think that they can." Tom Landry. Piloting a B-17 Flying Fortress, Tom Landry often flew missions deep into enemy territory and frequently returned his aircraft with minimum fuel. Between 1944 and 1945, Landry distinguished himself by flying 30 combat missions over heavily defended targets. Landry also survived a crash landing in Belgium after his bomber ran out of fuel. Landry returned to his studies at the University of Texas in the fall of 1946. University of Texas quarterbacks Bobby (The Blonde Bomber) Layne, Paul Campbell and Tom Landry. "Bobby Layne demanded only the best and would accept only the best. Here is a man who was a general on the field and off the field in every way. He was the greatest two-minute quarterback I have ever seen. If you ever missed a block, Bobby Layne made sure everybody knew about it. Guys on the field, guys on the bench, everybody in the stadium knew it. He’d call you right out of the huddle. He would stand there, raving at you and shaking a finger in your face, and you wanted to punch him. A couple of times, we had to grab people to keep them from hitting Bobby." Doak Walker. Just as Layne started right away as a freshman Texas quarterback, Bobby Layne started on the Longhorns baseball team as a freshman pitcher in 1944. In 1945, the sophomore fanned so many batters that he set a conference strikeout record that would last three decades. That same year, Bobby Layne also tossed two no-hitters, the first two “no-nos” in the history of Longhorns baseball. He dominated for four years on the mound and once had 28 straight wins on the way to a 35-3 overall record. By graduation, Layne had a career average of 10.78 strikeouts per contest, was a four-time All-SWC pitcher, and helped Texas to three straight conference baseball Championships between 1946 and 1948. ”When Bobby said, ‘Block,’ you blocked. And when Bobby Layne said, ‘Drink,’ you drank.” Yale Lary.
