@DougKyed Don't even care if he can't play, just having a wild hawaiian with the flowing locs boosts aura.

@bbGOJII @Tatiana19796 looks like digital wash. I can smell/taste the other 2 frames.

@usmntonly Took a deflection off the defender tbf. Hard to tell if it woulda been on; still good vision/recognition to play the pass.

Scientists put kids through 100 hours of reading, then scanned their brains. New wiring had physically grown inside the language regions. Communication between brain areas sped up by a factor of 10. Kids who didn't read showed zero change.

That was a 2009 Carnegie Mellon study. It gets wilder.

In 2013, Emory University scanned 19 students every morning for 19 straight days while they read one novel chapter each night. Mornings after reading, the brain areas responsible for understanding other people's emotions lit up with new connections. So did the region that processes physical sensation. Their brains were simulating what the characters felt, as if it were happening to them. Those changes stuck around for 5 days after they finished the book.

Now flip to scrolling. A massive review published in Psychological Bulletin last September pulled together 71 studies covering 98,299 people. Heavy short-form video use (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) showed a clear pattern: worse attention, weaker self-control, and more anxiety. Consistent across teenagers and adults, across every platform tested. Oxford didn't name "brain rot" its 2024 Word of the Year for nothing.

A 2024 brain wave study found that people hooked on short-form video had weaker activity in the front of the brain, the part that controls focus and impulse control. Separate brain scans showed the same thing: heavy scrollers had less activation in the exact regions that deep reading strengthens.

UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has been studying this for decades. Humans were never born to read. There's no gene for it. Reading is something we invented, and it hijacked neurons that were originally meant for recognizing faces. Over time, it built entirely new brain circuits connecting language, vision, and emotion. But those circuits only survive if you use them. Stop reading, and they fade. Wolf's conclusion is simple: screens built for speed produce a speed-wired brain. Books built for depth produce a depth-wired brain.

One honest caveat: most of these studies are snapshots, not long-term tracking. People who already struggle to focus might just prefer short videos. But the same pattern showing up across nearly 100,000 people is hard to shrug off.

The tweet repeats the line seven times. The research backs it up with brain scans, EEG data, and white-matter imaging across tens of thousands of people.

@DanCanobbio I miss Lampley on the call. The HBO era was such a vibe. Top notch production/ presentation.

@ezlazar lowkey love that Bradbury finishes this play at the 10.

@RealAlexBarth Can someone ask him how much attention he gives to his footwork in the pocket?

@MickWest That guy is such a saddo. He's imbedded with a group who can supposedly summon aliens with their minds, yet obsesses over blurry dots and scoring points on here vs you. The entire topic is literally the charlie brown football gif looped.

@breerstrom @LUFC Yea he's been spotty. I get anxiety whenever he's got the ball at his feet.

@tkyles39 Gibbens shouldn't be making this team. Mapu and Tavai over him all day even with their ups and downs.

@Ashenwolf25_ @nimrodelf Damn, frodo was a dilf. I'm a noob on the lore(never read the books) just adore the films.
