Will Ferrell tries to relax in a jacuzzi but a loud, hyperactive lifeguard, Jim Carrey, ruins the mood with every tool of the lifeguard trade in "Jacuzzi Lifeguard," SNL, 1996.
🚨The Left has FAILED to cancel Sylvester Stallone so badly that the trailer for the new “I PLAY ROCKY” movie has amassed TENS OF MILLIONS of views across social media.
This is legendary. Sylvester Stallone is an American icon.
God bless him.
For the United States Bicentennial in 1976, the government funded one of the wildest short films ever made.
Created by animator Vincent Collins & produced by the United States Information Agency, the film goes on a kaleidoscopic journey through iconic
American symbols.
Yes: handwriting still matters.
A new study has confirmed that writing by hand activates far more complex and widespread neural networks in the brain than typing, underscoring its importance for learning and memory.
Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology used a high-density EEG cap with 256 electrodes to record brain activity in university students. They found that the intricate, sensory-rich movements involved in handwriting, especially cursive, trigger highly synchronized brain waves across extensive areas of the parietal and central regions. These coordinated patterns are strongly linked to memory formation, cognitive processing, and encoding new information.
In contrast, typing, which involves repetitive, simpler finger movements, produced significantly less neural connectivity and engagement. The difference was striking: the brain appears much less active during digital writing.
The researchers conclude that the unique motor and sensory experience of holding a pen plays a key role in brain development and learning. As a result, they argue that handwriting instruction should remain a core part of education to support deeper comprehension and cognitive growth in the next generation.
