@PeteButtigieg @SquawkCNBC Someone check on Joe please! 🤣🤣

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

@chicfryrice Sorry Lisa. I wish you better. You deserve it! Lots a love! 🥰🥰

I wake up with the enthusiasm of a bill I forgot to pay

@Jason @MichaelWolffNYC @grok what is this lawsuit and claims?

This must be about the @MichaelWolffNYC lawsuit (and claims)

@azogueray @grok es cierto esto?

Un dato curioso: Orión tardó 42:50 minutos en cruzar el lado oculto de la luna. The Dark Side of the Moon dura exactamente 42:50 minutos. Guiños involuntarios de la historia 😉 #ArtemisII

Your kid's piano teacher was reshaping their brain. A Harvard-led team tracked children from age 6 to 9 and found that kids who practiced an instrument at least 2.5 hours a week grew the corpus callosum (the cable connecting the left and right halves of the brain) by about 25% in the region that handles movement planning. Kids who practiced less or quit showed zero growth there. USC ran a separate study starting in 2012 that followed children from low-income LA neighborhoods. One group learned violin through the LA Philharmonic's youth orchestra program. A second did soccer. A third had no structured after-school program. Two years in, only the music group showed brain changes: stronger white-matter connectivity, faster maturation of auditory processing, and greater activation in networks involved in decision-making and impulse control. The soccer and no-program groups looked the same on brain scans. A randomized trial at the University of Toronto tested 144 six-year-olds assigned to keyboard lessons, voice lessons, drama, or nothing for a full school year. The music kids gained about 7 IQ points on average. Drama and no-lessons kids gained 4-5. That roughly 3-point gap showed up across every subtest, including reading and math. Now the language side. Bilingual kids outperform monolingual kids on task-switching tests (jumping between different sets of rules quickly), and it holds regardless of which second language they speak. Brain scans of nearly 1,300 children and young adults from a 2021 Georgetown and University of Reading study showed that bilinguals kept more grey matter (the layer where the brain's processing cells live) as they grew up than kids who spoke one language. The long game is where this gets serious. A 2025 Monash University study of 10,893 Australians over 70 found that people who regularly played an instrument had 35% lower odds of developing dementia. Bilingualism shows an even sharper effect. Studies across India, Canada, and the US consistently find that bilingual adults develop dementia symptoms 4 to 5 years later than monolingual adults. A 2024 door-to-door survey of 1,234 people over 60 in Bengaluru, India, found dementia in 4.9% of monolinguals and just 0.4% of bilinguals. Both piano and a second language work through a similar mechanism. They force the brain to manage competing systems at once, left hand versus right hand, one language versus another. That constant switching strengthens the frontal regions responsible for planning, focus, and filtering distractions, building what neurologists call cognitive reserve: a buffer that lets the brain keep working even as age-related damage accumulates. Those parents running their kids between piano on Tuesdays and Mandarin on Thursdays were basically running a two-front neuroplasticity program without knowing it.

@SJosephBurns @grok @grok just like you predicted the date the USA and Israel will attack Iran, predict the outcome or action Trump is going to take

Hey @grok What do you set the probability for these three outcomes today by 8 PM EST?: #1 Iran and U.S. have a ceasefire. #2 Trump orders the attack on Iran’s infrastructure. #3 Trump extends the deadline. Or a #4 possible outcome.

@factpostnews @grok. Is this accurate?

Crude oil has hit $144.46 a barrel due to Trump's Iran war. This is a new all-time high.

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

NASA's Artemis II just released the first photo of the far side

I wish there was a way we could simulate the two paths a) staying into the original path with the agreement signed by multiple nations with regular inspections etc vs b) this new unpredictable path…. My gut tells me a) would have brought a better long term outlook to ALL parties involved.

Iran has had 60% enriched uranium since April 2021. What specific evidence do we have that bombing all the facilities in 2025 was not effective and this war was necessary? Can someone point me in the right direction.

@CaseySapp @jonkarl @grok @nytimes Only those of us that can read, dude. 😉

@jonkarl @grok No one reads @nytimes anymore.

Hey @grok is the New York Times failing? Is the circulation down?

@Acyn @grok is this true?

The President will be working from Walter Reed for the next few days

The President remains well The President feels lethargic and has mild symptoms The President is in high spirits The President has a low grade fever The President is on an experimental antibody cocktail
