REMINDER: The full effects of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill don’t hit until after the 2026 midterms.

That’s by design. Republicans want the votes first and the consequences caused by your pain, AFTER the election.

@Underwood_szn Good list … plethora of RB’s to choose from. Would give some strong consideration for Jamie Morris and Anthony A-Train Thomas. At linebacker, Bush got a lot of hype but wasn’t a thumper . Give me Dhani Jones or Jeremy Irons

A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.

He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.

The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.

Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.

Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.

This is why elaborative encoding works so well.

Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.

His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.

The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.

I have a feeling that Kash Patel’s abuse of power and unethical behavior is way worse than what we’ve already heard.

@TuiteroSismico El gobierno de Trump es un club de millonarios al que no le importa su país. Los intereses personales siempre encima de los colectivos. Estados Unidos se va a la ruina mientras Trump y sus amigos amasan fortunas incalculables.

Draymond Green learning he has 43 games with more turnovers than field goals in the playoffs, tied with Kendrick Perkins for the most since 2003…but at least he's not Charles Barkley in a Rockets uniform

@pinkshonour Rebounding from a guy she never dated 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Tyrone Smith @Papito_Smith]

@pinkshonour Help me understand why she carried a torch from him as long as she did? Their "relationship" never amounted to anything so why the prolonged angst as if she did something wrong.

@Jabz_CFC Sacrificed my @ss … they had and have resources. He’s making generational wealth for the immediate and extended family … but she’s overwhelmed. Get her a damn therapist to address the anxieties or whatever personal issues she’s experiencing.
