I promise you Tom Dundon isn't going to lower ticket or concession prices with the savings from these cuts, so you don't need to be on here defending them.

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views. He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult. The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework. Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed. Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference. He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition. This is why elaborative encoding works so well. Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens. His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your behaviour, you have not actually learned it. The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.

One of the things that rubs me the wrong way about this Blazers stuff, aside from great people losing their job, is the notion that they needed to do this to run the business. The narrative being pushed that the Blazers are a poverty franchise and NEEDED these cuts is just wrong.

@mojave3updates Hot Fuzz Everything Everywhere All At Once Galaxy Quest Inside Out

show me your letterboxd top 4 and i’ll give you a movie rec 🗣️🗣️

I covered Jason Kidd when he played for the Nets. I know one of his childhood friends. I've been to his house, met his kids, then-wife, and Pilates Instructor. And I have insight from many people who worked with him in his coaching years. This is a great firing.

@brooklynnets85 @Thereallamascus They are going to be the favorite to move to the Eastern Conference once Seattle and Las Vegas come in.

@Thereallamascus They can trade Rudy just not to the direct comp that blocks them from the CF

Calling it now: OKC does literally anything they can to trade up for Mara It might even look like a crazy overpay Nothing matters to them anymore other than matching up with the Spurs and none of their bigs can do it, Mara has the outlier size to give him at least some issues

“Lupita Nyong’o can’t be Helen of Troy!!! 😡😡😡” Oh really? Cuz it made you super mad and ready to fight over her, and that’s kind of Helen’s whole thing.

@twolvestalk32 Congratulations!

No ring for the Wolves. Can’t say the same for my girl | 5 • 16 • 26 |

@BlazersBySagar Congratulations Sagar!!!

I’m officially a Master of Science!

Greatest clutch run by a player ever

I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.

@BenJustJamin13 Then they come back from 3-1 to shock the reigning champs and bring a 🏆 to Indiana

•Make them lose game 7 of the finals •Make Hali tear his Achilles •Make them lose 63 games the following year •While also losing their draft pick

"Overrated" "Not a primary" "Can't iso in the playoffs" MVP caliber player whose injury in game 7 robbed him and us from the greatest playoff underdog run to a title ever.

@MarkW_E01 @Tjonesonthenba Luka had one of the best resumes of a prospect in the last 30 years and 3 teams passed on him.

@Tjonesonthenba Luka was drafted at #3. Did teams sleep on him that year?

Nobody in NBA history who has been picked in the top 4 of a draft has been disrespected or slept on as a prospect I don’t know why people are so dramatic about Cam. He’s going to be the third pick of this class. It’s perfectly fine

Regarding Cam Boozer: We continue to hold up visually memorable traits (athleticism) as THE factor for NBA potential. 12 yrs ago Layne Vashro (Senior Analyst for the Nuggets over the last decade) wrote this about how we do and should approach potential canishoopus.com/2014/2/26/5435…

It still feels insane that John Noble never even got an Emmy nomination for Fringe. Walter Bishop could go from heartbreaking to hilarious to deeply unsettling within the same scene and Noble made every version of him feel completely real.
