My dad used to tell me that you can’t save anyone; they have to save themselves. Great man. Terrible lifeguard.

@macronesianboy @newstart_2024 yeah, you’re right, things are going great.

@newstart_2024 They said this about kids playing Nintendo in the 80s too and they turned out fine

This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying: They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development. Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.” We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans. This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different. Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?

@GaryleeGray @newstart_2024 Volume, for one. Screens at home were there – but now they are in the car, during dinner at restaurants. Screen time is now available whenever, wherever. Content has changed, too. The business of views, reach, and clicks has meant more overstimulating and addicting programming.

@newstart_2024 How is this different from 30 years ago when we grew up playing video games on consoles and watching cartoons?

@w_terrence @RobSchneider at least you allowed replies unlike @RobSchneider. Carried through his career by Adam Sandler and now in life by Donald Trump.

@w_terrence This and @RobSchneider’s long winded letter are the softest things o have ever read. MAGA was founded on calling people snowflakes and telling them to learn how to take a joke. Now look at you all. What will you do when you have no longer have Trump to latch on to?

Dear Jimmy Kimmel, listen to me very closely. I’m a comedian. I’ve made fun of Jill Biden. I’ve made fun of Michelle Obama. I’ve roasted First Ladies before. But I have never in my life joked about Jill Biden becoming a widow or Michelle Obama becoming a widow. I’ve never joked about Joe Biden or Barack Obama having an attempt made on their life. I’ve never laughed at the thought of their wives standing there in fear, wondering if their husbands are going to make it home alive. Because that is not comedy. That is sick. You could have joked about Melania being married to Trump. You could have joked about politics. You could have even gone after her accent like liberals usually do. But no — you chose to joke about Melania Trump becoming a widow. And let’s be honest, Jimmy: when you hate Donald Trump as much as you do, that doesn’t sound like a joke. It sounds like how you really feel. They always say there is truth in comedy.

@MaxMannis tbh you’d like to see Freeman hustling down the line, at least. He was the only person who could have made a difference here.

Is there any point here where Ohtani could've just hit the deck and gotten the run to score in time?

@TimKoltek @chamath this is in reference to Trump, right?

@chamath @chamath It’s the perfect metaphor for his leadership: all performance and self-promotion, while the state’s core functions continue to erode.

Wow. Awesome. Thanks. Please also raise my taxes and destroy my children’s education more than you already have so my family and I can stay impoverished, uneducated and in your indentured servitude while we carry your branding on us.

i never beg except when it’s to differ

@AAGDhillon hard to take yourself off of a voter roll when, y’know, you’re dead.

Told ya

@EricLDaugh This is Eric Adams budget. That’s how this works, right?

🚨 OMG. Ugandan Mayor Mamdani just stunned New Yorkers by all but ADMITTING DEFEAT, begging for a state bailout due to the budget crisis He’s also DELAYING the city budget “We need new revenue!” 🤡 You got SWINDLED, NYC! He can’t pay for free sht!

@SecWar why wait

Under the previous administration, the Department of Defense’s financial reporting was a disaster — and had been for far too long. That ends today—the WAR DEPARTMENT will deliver a clean audit for our 2028 financial statements.

86 46

@MrsErikaKirk she turned it into an ad. honestly, well done.

Saturday was yet another traumatic example of the evil in our country and the continued rise in political violence. I’m taking time to spend with my family. I will be joining The Charlie Kirk Show Wednesday at 12PM ET to briefly address what took place. Enough is enough.

@Cernovich some of yall have never had fun at a bar and it shows.

8647 was always a death threat, incredibly stupid to pretend otherwise.

Being an adult is basically figuring out what to cook with ground beef and chicken for the rest of your life.

Priorities

@IngrahamAngle sometimes I am amazed but what Republicans find funny. then I remember what my dsd laughs at on Facebook and it all makes sense.

Trigger Alert! The White House has waited months to make this joke. Coast to coast, humorless liberals are seething, veins bulging.

Got it done

@karolineleavitt currently, no doubt

Melania is the most beautiful and well dressed First Lady in history.
