Por denunciar un genocidio, mi cuenta ha perdido toda la visibilidad y sufre restricciones severas. Se ve que en esta red fascista la gente humilde, la de la calle, no tenemos cabida. Sólo se da voz a los bots neonazis de Elon. Deja un . si todavía puedes verme.

A community college professor taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years, and the video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings on the internet. His name is Marty Lobdell. He spent his career as a psychology professor watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because nobody had ever taught them how their brain actually works under the pressure of learning something hard. The lecture is called "Study Less Study Smart." Over 10 million views. Passed around in Reddit threads, Discord servers, and university study groups for over a decade. And the core insight buried inside it has been sitting in cognitive psychology research for years, waiting for someone to explain it in plain language. Here is the framework that completely changed how I think about effort. Your brain does not sustain focus the way you think it does. Studies tracking real students found that the average learner hits a wall somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency doesn't just decline. It collapses. You're still sitting at your desk, still looking at the page, but almost nothing is going in. Lobdell illustrated this with a student he knew personally. She set a goal of studying 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week, to pull herself out of academic probation. Thirty hours of studying per week. She failed every single class that quarter. She wasn't failing because she lacked effort. She was failing because she had confused time spent near books with time spent actually learning. The 25-minute crash hit her at 6:30pm every night. She spent the next five and a half hours sitting in the wreckage of her own focus and calling it studying. The fix sounds almost too simple. The moment you feel the slide, stop. Take five minutes. Do something that actually gives you a small reward. Then go back. That five-minute reset returns you to near full efficiency. Across a six-hour window, the difference is not marginal. It is the difference between thirty minutes of real learning and five and a half hours of it. The second thing he taught destroyed something I had believed about how memory actually works. Highlighting feels productive. Going back over your notes and recognizing everything feels like knowing. But recognition and recollection are two completely different cognitive processes, and your brain is very good at making you confuse them. You can see something you've read before and feel completely certain you understand it, even when you couldn't reconstruct a single sentence from memory if the page were blank. He proved this live in the room. He read 13 random letters to his audience. Almost nobody could recall them. Then he rearranged the same 13 letters into two words: Happy Thursday. The whole room got all 13 without effort. Same letters. Same count. The only thing that changed was meaning. The brain stores meaning. Not repetition. The moment new information connects to something you already understand, the retention changes entirely. This is what the cognitive psychology literature calls elaborative encoding, and it is the mechanism underneath every effective study technique. The third principle was the one that hit me hardest, and the one almost nobody applies. Lobdell cited research showing that 80 percent of your study time should be spent in active recitation, not passive reading. Close the material. Say it back in your own words. Teach it to someone else, or to an empty chair if no one is around. The struggle of retrieval is where the actual learning happens. Reading your notes again is watching someone else do the work. His parting line has stayed with me longer than almost anything else I have read about learning. He told the room that if what he shared didn't change their behavior, they hadn't actually learned it. It would just live in their heads as something they had heard once and felt good about. He was right. And most people leave every lecture exactly like that. The students who remember everything aren't putting in more hours. They stopped confusing the feeling of studying with the fact of it.

The uncovering has begun. If only more EU governments showed the resolve of Slovenia. Forward and upward. #DecolonizeMultilateralism

Ms @vonderleyen_epp, a reminder: the international law–based order (not rules-based order!!) was built after Nazi-fascism and reckless populist leaders dragged Europe into war. You may not care. Europeans should.

ISRAEL HAS NO AUTHORITY OVER GAZA. Yet it continues to create "conditions of life" to destroy the people trapped therein. Obliteraring all medical infrastructure, even emergency one like @MSF, is a way to ensure people's agony and death when they survive bombs and sniper fire.

The genocide in Gaza is a collective crime. My last report to the United Nations (Sept 2025) made this clear. States have still to account for their conduct. And to change course. For those who may have missed it, here is the report in all 6 UN languages: un.org/unispal/docume…

Not sure the magnitude of this is fully understood: Israel has wiped out 2,700 families in Gaza, leaving 6,000+ people as the sole survivors of entire bloodlines. This is the result of deliberate policy, pursued with full knowledge of its effects. This is not war. It is genocide.

“Gaza has become a mass grave for Palestinians and those helping them.” Angelina Jolie delivered a stark indictment of the world’s response to Gaza, exposing the brutal reality of selective human rights. Jolie said she once believed international institutions, including the United Nations, were built on clear moral lines and universal principles, but watching Gaza shattered that belief. She criticized a global system where rights, aid, justice, and accountability are applied unequally: food and protection for some, starvation and impunity for others; justice for certain crimes, silence for others when political or business interests are involved.

Israel plans to bulldoze a football pitch used by refugee kids. @FIFAWorldCup and @UEFA must stop it. I signed to save Aida camp’s pitch, will you? ⚽✊ secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/do…

Israel banned 37 aid groups from Gaza for the same reason it continues to ban journalists. Of course it's about eliminating aid itself, but it's also about eliminating witnesses. Doctors and aid workers largely became the de facto journalists on the ground in Gaza when Israel banned international news media and began systematically assassinating Gaza-based Palestinian journalists, so Israel wants to get rid of those de facto reporters to hide its crimes. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was one of the top humanitarian groups publicly accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza in 2025. A lot of what we learned about the Israeli massacres of starving civilians at "Gaza Humanitarian Fund" sites came from MSF doctors describing the gunshot wounds they'd been seeing at medical facilities. MSF were the first to report the horrifying trend of IDF soldiers entering hospitals they'd attacked in Gaza and destroying individual pieces of medical equipment to make them unusable, providing unassailable proof that Israel was actually targeting Gaza's healthcare system itself rather than "Hamas bases in hospitals" as Israel falsely claimed. Doctors Without Borders were constantly putting out reports condemning Israel's attacks on medical facilities where it had staff conducting operations, and its doctors often spoke to the western press about the horrors they'd seen in Gaza. And now they've been taken out, one of dozens of aid groups who Israel will no longer allow to operate in the occupied Palestinian territory. They took them out for the same reason they took out the journalists, and for the same reason Israel and its supporters try to stomp out speech that is critical of the Gaza holocaust throughout the western world, and for the same reason witnesses who try to tell law enforcement about the crimes of the Mafia tend to go missing. They want to keep their crimes in the dark.
