"It's very simple: We're gonna turn Knicks fans into Nets fans" –– New Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov at his introductory press conference on this day 16 years ago

@dom_lucre Any of these conspiracy guys know who wins the finals?

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Thousands NBA fans are convinced the finals are rigged after this video accidentally leaked by ABC two days before the game predicted the Cleveland Cavaliers will be facing the New York Knicks in the NBA finals. This commercial aired while the Cavaliers still had one game to play against the Detroit Pistons, it initially gained traction days ago but now it has led to new conspiracies due to the upcoming game matching the ABC promo.

@awkwardgoogle He probably got jail time for that chair toss.. while the guy who killed 3 people got community service. ...bananas. I hope the chair landed on the bridge of her nose.

A father threw a chair at a judge after the driver who killed his daughter and her grandparents was sentenced to only 120 hours of Community service

Someone edited THE THREE AMIGOS vs. TOMBSTONE and it fits so perfectly 😂🔥

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.

@Seth_3773 this isn't the MLB.. don't get in another man's face if you don't want to get punched.

Breakdown, Telling the umpire he’s a f-ing B warrants an ejection, not a right cross. The coach definitely shouldn’t have said that, but honestly I feel the umpire mishandled all of this. What do you think?

THIS IS SELLING OUT FOR YOUR TEAM 👏👏👏 @CuseMLAX defenseman Billy Dwan makes an incredible play to keep the ball in bounds, leading to a Joey Spallina goal. (via ESPNU)

🚨 BREAKING. Scott Bessent just announced the Internal Revenue Service is launching MASSIVE AUDITS of financial institutions that facilitated the laundering of Minnesota funds. Read that again. Banks. MSBs. Financial middlemen. Anyone who helped move dirty money is about to get TORCHED. For once, the IRS is being deployed FOR AMERICANS FIRST — not against working families. Follow the money. Audit everything. Prosecute whoever broke the law. Music to my ears. Thank you, Sec. Bessent. 🇺🇸 FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING

Keir Starmer does NOT want the World to see how badly British Patriots want their country back Would be a shame if it went viral on 𝕏

More people are arrested for speech offenses in the UK than any other country. This is insane.
