The unbelievable utterly mind bending audacity of Israel to now cry about war crimes.

Liberating the Iranian people by bombing their oil refineries, poisoning their air, destroying their fresh water supplies, exploding their elementary schools, and now "obliterating" their power plants. Who wouldn't be grateful for this?

“What stocks should I buy right now” Bro you need to be planting cabbage

“zohran’s wife tweeted bad stuff at age 15” ok have you seen what the president of the United States is currently tweeting at age 79

"Just want to write to my Mom & tell her that I’m witnessing this chronic, insidious genocide & I’m really scared, and questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of human nature. This has to stop." —Rachel Corrie, letter from Gaza (2/27/03), killed by IDF 18 days later

Oh

Look at it. Click open the image, and really take it in. Every building. Ever one. This, we are told, is self defence. If you voice incredulity, you’re smeared as antisemitic. But just look at it. Take your time. Really absorb the totality of what you’re seeing.

@lmfindlaaay @WhiteHouse

it's both funny and sad that this will probably be my most popular tweet ever 😆 (for context was replying to @WhiteHouse turning war into a video game for the millionth time bc they're a bunch of ghoulish fucking morons)

Australia is 2 weeks away from Mad Max

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.

@lmfindlaaay Omg that looks gewd!!

sorry y'all are getting me livetweeting grocery shopping again 😁 this cereal sounds so good rn?? i just wanna eat it dry tbh 😆 has anyone tried it?

The owner of the largest Navy in the history of the world would like sailors from other countries to die in a war he started without consulting anyone. Pass, thanks.

someone waved this morning and i waved back but they were waving at someone else 😭 this is not the way

It's now 2 and a half years with ZERO JOURNALISTS permitted in Gaza. This is without precedence in any conflict. And that's because it wasn't and isn't a conflict it was and still is a barbaric slaughter. Israel will not let the world see their evil. And the world sits by.

I’m just some guy on his couch in Canada and I significantly estimated this.

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better." The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

Most Right-wing podcasters in Canada are seeing a STEEP DECLINE in their YouTube views. Canadians are starting to realize they're being misled by these people.

Man was not meant to monitor this many situations.
