I followed this account today and recommend you do the same! Thanks to @megbasham for her share of @DSA_Watch I'm just passing it on, but I agree 100% with their goal!

[DSA Watch @DSA_Watch]

🚨 With Zohran Mamdani seizing control as Mayor of NYC, we're committed to tracking every part of his and the radical socialist agenda all across the nation

Stay tuned for updates on the DSA. Like, follow, and retweet to help us spread the word.

I guess grandma grouper needs to do something to revitalize her slowly fading show. All this has done is reconfirm my support for Marco Rubio in 2028.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

Bizarre.

Why would our Vice President go on Megyn Kelly’s show?

Megyn Kelly @megynkelly is constantly bashing President Trump @POTUS and she recently said MAGA is dead and that Trump is “losing his mind”.

I find this to be insane.

Megyn Kelly has been condemned by Trump and she accused him of being “owned” by Israel… in addition to defending Candace Owens’s vicious attacks on @MrsErikaKirk. Megyn Kelly has entertained the lie that the Trump administration killed Charlie Kirk and she has insinuated Trump is covering up for Jeffrey Epstein.

Not a good look. Hopefully @JDVance tells Megyn to pound sand, as she is truly out to destroy President Trump. She is incredibly subversive and anti-Trump.

That’s why President Trump disavowed her.

This is terrible optics. Just terrible. I cannot believe this is real. Wow.

Whoever told our VP this was a good idea is leading him astray.

I say this in the most respectful and sincere way. Who thought this was a good idea?

Megyn = Grandma Groyper

What the World Cup has brought to the United States could not have been more providentially perfect for our 250th anniversary. The rest of the world is coming here and reminding us what makes America so great.

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Yes. Yes it does.

[🇺🇸 Deborah Poole 🇺🇸 @longtalldeb]

@realDonaldTrump Well then you need to hand them their first loss. Complete, total, brutal defeat.

[Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune]

500 days ago, Republicans had a long to-do list.

We’ve checked a lot of things off, but we still have more to do.

And we’re not about to take our foot off the gas.

@abbythelibb_ Good for you! Taking a stand is important!

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.

@megbasham @NYMag He's still a handsome man. But I'm a subscriber because his analysis is unequaled in any sphere, his sense of humor is often a surprise and his cultural awareness adds an element of relatability to his show. Not to mention he seems to be a truly honorable person.

@elonmusk China's fomenting this moronic hysteria while they go full speed ahead on AI. Winning on the AI front will give them military superiority and is one of the only ways they can overcome our strength.

Dear @nytimes

Remember when you put a sick child with Cerebral Palsy on your front page - and falsely claimed he was a healthy child deliberately starved by Israel?

I was the one who uncovered the truth.

So excuse me if I don't believe a word you write.

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

The @nytimes just published one of the most serious sets of allegations imaginable against Israel – claims of systematic sexual violence, including a bizarre story about carrots and trained rape dogs. We checked the sources.

What we found is journalistic malpractice. 🧵

[🇺🇸 Deborah Poole 🇺🇸 @longtalldeb]

@NJBeisner Saying "I don't know anything about that," and lying about things he's obviously said is deft?!

@aarnott @ShabbosK @dailywireplus @realDailyWire Don't run. Have the conversation. Diverging opinions aren't hate. That's a leftist tactic.

[🇺🇸 Deborah Poole 🇺🇸 @longtalldeb]

@TUGFansMatter @ShabbosK Yes! AND opinions are not hate! How did we get so simplistic in our thinking??

[🇺🇸 Deborah Poole 🇺🇸 @longtalldeb]

@antiantimormon @prageru @ShabbosK Daily Wire didn't DO anything but publish. Matt Fradd is responsible for his point of view. This nonsense of "you platformed someone therefore you must agree with all that person says" is simplistic in the extreme. Grow up.

[🇺🇸 Deborah Poole 🇺🇸 @longtalldeb]

The man that did THIS thinks that the supreme court gutted voting rights. That's rich. 🙄

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

They gutted the Voting Rights Act.

That's what just happened at the Supreme Court.
