3,000 reshares on IG and highest web traffic since September. I don't think Musk wants you to see what is happening in Texas. 👇

The @TNTSportsUS announcing team has wisdom that @rolandgarros and @atptour seem to lack. What the heck is @mattearnalds doing at a public press conference with a virus so awful he can't play his first major semi? Hope @cobollifla stays healthy. #tennis #CleanAir

@ColaMrntteThtre for being the best place in Columbia for children's first exposures to the arts! #MidlandsGives2026 @CCCFtweets

And we're off! #MidlandsGives2026. Start with @LiteracySC, because so much starts with reading! Read about them here: bit.ly/4tho2an @CCCFtweets

Tomorrow is #MidlandGives! Please remember #LiteracySC as you donate and play @CCCFtweets's version of nonprofit #gametheory. #literacy #reading

How can one not root for a horse who has been(properly) only lightly raced and is called #EmergingMarket? #KentuckyDerby #equine

CC/CA people- where are you finding #Nuvoxavid? @Costco let me book it a week ago, confirmed it yesterday, but when I showed up had none and none expected. CVS same. I tried to time for summer surge plus fall updates, hence the last day of April scheduling.

I'm delighted to announce that you can read some of my new joint work in Engine Idling's upcoming "Collaboration" issue. One work I wrote with Mona Mehas and the other with late and spectacular CJ Prince. @poetry #literature #writing #RIPCJ

In the latest SARS-CoV-2 dashboard update, the U.S. CDC now only show data for the past 2 years. The enormous BA.1. Omicron wave (winter 2021-22) and 2nd largest wave (winter 2023-24) are wiped clean from public view.

The world so absurd #lepoissondavril comment faire? #poetry #AprilFools #Kafka #NaPoWriMo

This Saturday (12–1 PM) marks my first public #poetry reading! 📖 I'll be reading from "No Paper Today" and sharing a preview of my book with C.J. Prince(Sept 2026) Please join us on Zoom! Details and link below. #Writing @ModPoPenn @AuthorLachlan

What started with missing @WSJ deliveries turned into a book - and now a @ModPoPenn virtual reading. March 28, 12–1 ET. Join us!

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.

When snowboarders can compete with names/images of dead friends on their boards, it isn't right to disqualify a #Ukrainian luger for the same memorial instinct. #IOC #hypocrisy #Olympics #luge
