A guy used a Kindle for 4 years before he realized he was using it wrong.

He read 60+ books on it. Highlighted hundreds of passages. Never adjusted a single setting beyond font size.

His sister-in-law a librarian who's read 800+ books on her Kindle sat next to him on a flight and watched him read for 20 minutes.

She finally said: "Can I show you something? You're missing the 9 features that make this thing actually useful. Amazon hides them 4 menus deep. Every Kindle owner I know reads way slower because of it."

She changed 9 settings in 6 minutes.

He finished his next book in half the usual time. Remembered twice as much. Looked up zero words on his phone.

Here's everything she showed him

I respect Messi’s greatness, but I’m fully convinced he’s going goal‑less this World Cup and Argentina are getting grouped. He holds them back.

Bookmark this and come back when it happens.

Tom Cruise from 1988 to 1999 might be one of the greatest movie-star runs ever.

Drama, courtroom thrillers, romance, auteur cinema, blockbuster charisma, the range in that stretch is ridiculous.

@DanisMCFC Geez I wonder what Gabrielle is doing on the ground before this tackle?

Parenting is hard etc but I’m sorry if you’re allowing your toddler 2-3 hours of screen time per day you actually are failing them and you’re failing as a parent. This past week I saw at least a dozen toddlers running around with devices, some with phones clipped to their strollers(!). Your toddler has only been in the world for a short time. It’s still very interesting to them if you let them look up at it.

When your fantasy league is making fun of you in the group chat and then the last-place loser chimes in

[Craig Ceecee, Ph.D. @CC_StormWatch]

From 2:30 pm to 9:09 pm on April 27, 2011, there wasn't a single moment where there wasn't an EF-4 or EF-5 tornado on the ground. At a few times there were as many as four ongoing concurrently. That is one of the craziest statistic of 15 years ago.

This was an incredible, seemingly impromptu, moment on what has become the best studio show in sports. Bravo to all involved.

Disney launched a new ad where a dad and son share a night time walk on a cruise ship, across an entire lifetime.

Every parent needs to hear this: the moments feel small until they’re gone.

Put down the phone. Spend the time. It’s the only thing they’ll remember.
