🚨 BREAKING: The Islamic Center of San Diego have been identified as Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vasquez, 18, per NBC Prior to the shooting, one of the mothers alerted police her son was sulcldaI, and said he stole her guns and vehicle. Law enforcement did not get there in time, unfortunately.

@amuse We have been bludgeoned in the west over idiotic things like carbon footprints. Suddenly we need ten million data centers and their purpose, water and electric use should not be questioned.

DATA CENTER DOOMERS: Secretary Burgum reported that the intelligence community has traced much of the opposition to data centers to foreign influence campaigns aimed at slowing American technological progress. The strategy appears to be working.

The American Conservative
Trump-endorsed candidate Ed Gallrein says he’s “just a farm boy from Kentucky” and claims Thomas Massie “is not a fiscal conservative.” Gallrein says Massie "has betrayed" the people of Kentucky and compares the Iran War with "pre-World War II" in 1939.

DO NOT point a minimum 1000nm wavelength green laser at Flock cameras. It will not damage the sensor and render the camera ineffective. Flock cameras DO NOT contain over a half ounce of easily recyclable silver. The camera, router, solar panel, and battery, WILL NOT fetch over $1000 on the secondary market. Flock is purely for your safety with NO OTHER AGENDA.

@StephenM Those bills were rubbish and include many items, not just ICE funding. Vote on narrowly defind bills. Not bills that are thousands of pages covering hundreds to thousands of items.

Had Massie succeeded in defeating the reconciliation bill right now ICE would be penniless and broke. Democrats’ plan to shutter ICE only failed because Republicans passed the reconciliation bill all Democrats and Massie voted to block.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

Senator @JohnCornyn should easily win the May 26 run-off against scandal-plagued Paxton, not just b/c Cornyn’s seniority is so high and he delivers for Texas, but also b/c he should win Trump voters as Cornyn has stuck with Trump through thick and thin and is a lay-up in November. With Paxton, Texas would go into “toss-up” or even “leans Talarico” column. Paxton has the noisy online slice of the electorate but Texas Republicans are a smart crowd. They know the score and will turn out for Cornyn just as they did in the first round that winnowed the field to two.
ProPublica@propublica

Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton has frequently opted for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost taxpayers more than $24,000 for a day’s work. propublica.org/article/ken-pa…

🇩🇪🔴"How it feels to become a minority in one’s own country." In Hamburg, the "migrant share in some schools is so high that German children are increasingly being bullied because they do not participate in Ramadan or because girls wear short skirts." German schoolchildren are now targeted in their own country. "Again and again, small groups of strictly religious migrant children are here to harass their non-Muslim classmates." The CDU member of parliament, Sandro Kappe, says that these are no longer isolated cases. He regularly talks to desperate parents. "They cry in front of you and say, 'I don’t know if I want to leave my child here in school.'" 🔺German children are being forced to convert to Islam. 🔺School boards are trying to repress or keep this information secret, often to avoid scandal. 🔺Students must "comply" with Islamic demands to sit in prayer rooms. 🔺Gender segregation is occurring in some schools between boys and girls to meet the demands of some Muslims. 🔺One Jewish mother said her daughter was threatened by a group of Muslim. "They said they will take her to the concentration camp and kill her." 🔺One child was threatened after other students learned he ate pork, with students telling him "they would hang him upside down and let him bleed out." "Not a Hamburg phenomenon, but a nationwide phenomenon that experts have been observing for years."

Christian Zionist pastor Robert Jeffress declares that America’s Founding Fathers would today be considered Christian nationalists, insinuating they would support something similar to his Christian Zionist belief system. Jeffress believes the modern state of Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. “It is a title they would’ve gladly embraced.”
