Triggered Democrats FREAK OUT when I tell them these IRAN quotes were said by Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, & Joe Biden, and NOT Donald Trump 🤣

I don’t know who made this, but I love his work Pass the SAVE America Act

@anishmoonka The louvre is obnoxious. The further into the wings the more art. You get dizzy 😵‍💫. But I think what attracts people to art museums is the structure of the walls and the hallways. the whole experience in itself can be rather meditative, regardless of how long you 👀at one piece.

Fifteen seconds. The average person waits an hour in line at the Louvre and looks at the Mona Lisa for fifteen seconds. Then walks away. Every big museum is the same story. People spend 17 seconds in front of masterpieces and move on. A 2001 study at the Met timed 150 people in front of six masterpieces. Cezanne, Rembrandt, the heavy hitters. The average look came in at 27 seconds. Half the visitors spent less than 17. The single most common result was 10 seconds flat. Then done. The Art Institute of Chicago ran the same study in 2017 and got almost identical numbers. This pattern has a name. A scientist named Benjamin Ives Gilman wrote about it in 1916 and called it "museum fatigue." The more paintings around you, the faster your brain taps out. Arthur Melton's 1935 follow-up found that when a gallery hung more paintings, people stopped at fewer of them. The time spent at each one stayed stuck at 10 seconds. The paintings were competing for attention. They were losing. There's a circuit in your brain that only runs when you're alone with your thoughts. Daydreaming. Remembering things. Scientists call it the default mode network. When you focus on anything in the outside world, this circuit shuts off. You need it quiet to pay attention. Except when the outside thing is art that moves you. In 2012, neuroscientists at NYU put people in a brain scanner and showed them paintings. When someone saw a painting they rated as deeply moving, the self-thinking circuit switched on. An outside thing was triggering the inner circuit. A year later, the researchers followed up with a paper called "Art reaches within." Look at the Bossard. The title is "Meditation." The setting is the Orangerie in Paris, the oval room Monet helped design after World War I. He wanted it to be what he called a "refuge of peaceful meditation" for a country wrecked by the war. He offered the paintings to France in 1918, right after the fighting stopped. One man stands facing the Water Lilies. Another sits on a bench behind him, reading the newspaper. You assume the standing man is meditating. Maybe. But the inside circuit only watches one thing: whether you've turned inward. Where your eyes are pointed has nothing to do with it. The guy with the newspaper might be lost in a memory from 1997. The guy in front of Monet might be thinking about what to buy for dinner. The average viewer clears a masterpiece in 17 seconds. The inner switch takes longer than that to flip. Which is the quiet joke Bossard built into his painting, and also why the title lands the way it does. You can't see meditation from outside the body.

@ostrachan So so so sad

Women of 𝕏, what type of male body do you find attractive?

@conservmillen Its hilarious 😂 and cringe 😬

For the sake of the 2028 election and the future of our country, I need Gavin’s wife to keep talking as much as possible.

Daily reminder that Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court commission was autopenned for a person who lacked mental capacity and is therefore illegitimate

San Francisco is a small city. Was out and about all morning from 11-2 :marina and van ness out towards ocean. Honestly would not know there was a kings day protest. So for a hard core lefty city its not mainstream. Plenty of people enjoying the sunny day.

If this is what your airport looks like today, thank a Democrat.

HOLY SHLIT The DOJ found over 300,000 DEAD VOTERS on just a partial review of voter rolls 300,000! But Democrats told me this is impossible and never happens!

Psychological scientist J.D. Haltigan told me the feminine impulse to be empathetic has been weaponized. “We’ve come to basically hijack the feminine ethic of care.” “And if a society becomes completely feminine, all kinds of chaos will ensue.” “Because you don’t have any sort of rule-based, lawful, statistically-minded, quantitatively-focused orientation to why we have laws, why we have rules, why we need order, why we need immigration law, and so forth.” “Masculinity is what will track, personality-wise, with systemization, and femininity is sort of the analogy with empathization.” But this feminization has become dominant in many areas of society with major effects. @JDHaltigan
