KTLA knows who their audience is 😷

When were these tweets posted? I'm trying to find the study. Thanks!

This is old news.

😢

That's why Trump is so into fossil fuels. #MAGAMorons

They’re still using too many syllables.

COMMUNICATION: turns out there are okay ways to do it, but also better ways to do it.

The air in Florida must be particularly bad.

Explains Phoenix

"Trump raped children." -KTLA

Wow DJT must have lived very long in a badly polluted area.

Who the heck spells dumber with a "b"?

CO2 makes us stupid. Or, Republicant.

and all those people who grew up with air you could see..

Well, now at least I have a clearer understanding of the underlying motivation of Republicans in allowing these things into the environment.

So that's what's wrong with the people in Phoenix. One of the lowest education levels in the country. Makin' sense now.

There's a "b" at the end of the word "dumb", most people don't know that. Apparently.

Loved you for a long time, from your trombone days to the opener on @WeirdAl’s last tour. Damn, you make me laugh so hard. Thanks.

Know your market.

THE US MILITARY IS THE #1 GLOBAL POLLUTER : alone has fired more than 337,000 bombs and missiles in the past two decades. Bombers and fighter jets transport weapons & burn enormous quantities of fuel... jets can burn through 4.28 gallons of gasoline/mile.

Damn, I hope that isn’t true, some of us can’t afford to get any dumber “(dum with a “b” on the end), anyway, some of can’t afford to get any dumber!! MAGA, I’m talking to you!!!!!

🤣

DC must be incredibly polluted

I’m going to need it dumbed down a bit more.

Oye... the human species is a murderous, suicidal collection of monsters... The good news.... this beautiful blue marble will be here long after these fools end all life here.

KTLA: let's dumb it down, so the dummies understand it!

Ask anyone who has lived downwind of an oil refinery.

👍

The irony is so thick you could slice it. or in KTLA speak words that mean words funny more at 11.

I think of years and years of that orange makeup paste rotted the cells in his body.

Thankfully KTLA translated this meaningless "Liberal" NPR "babble" into "American Words" my Republican Conservative funded Public School educated was able to understand. God Bless President Trump!

I sorta retired from 20+ yrs as a creative to being a P/T professor. The school documentation all looks like example 1. My lectures all sound like example 2. Students appreciate straight talk. In the job we always spoke plainly. Why is legalese a thing? It breeds frustration and animosity.

I guess Telawork makes much more sense for workers instead of clogging up all the freeways and causing more pollution. Oh!! I forgot, we can not have telawork since all the big investors may not get their money's worth from their big buildings. After all, they need more to put in their pockets.

If we were any stupider we’d go to Jupiter.

KTLA had to dumb it down for those who want to defund NPR.

KTLA KNOWS YOU!

NPR has really got the skill of understated headlines down to a science

Making the nation collectively dumber and it wasn't a particularly smart nation to begin with.

This tells me: NPR pays by the word. KTLA pays by the post.

EMO! Long time no see!

DIRTY AIR BAD! MAKE DUMB!

Now you know why they're so intent on continuing to burn fossil fuels in the US, even though solar power is cheaper.

AND the impacts increase with Twitter! 🤔 🤣

KTLA is only playing to its audience. 😏

I didn't understand the NPR one...

Teachers knew this in the 1860s! -Second Industrial Revolution began in the 1840s. Irish children suffered from pollution-induced cognitive deficits resulting from the famine (orchestrated to provide millions of Irish people with jobs in new industries in the UK and USA?) and Industrial Revolution.

Oh so the weather is why they voted this dick in ha

What the hell does that mean?

This explains so much.

LA has a long history of pollution so yeah, they write to their audience

Dumb has a b?

That’s how you message.

And several examples are apparent in GOP Leadership.

Duhmerb

Going from Wikipedia to Simple English Wikipedia.

Just the proof of the study?

And thank you NPR.

That was funny.

Leaded fumes, or particulates?

Wait. Isn’t that spelled “dummer”? Asking for the birthday boy.

I'm sure people in Oklahoma and other deep red states won't hear about this report on air pollution making us dumber. That's dumb with a 'b' by the way.

Some don’t need much help.

At least they wrote "dumber" instead of "more dumber" which might have actually been considered as an option. 😅

Stop making excuses for magats. They have to accept responsibility for their actions.

Succint. To the point.

Quite meta

Is the air more polluted in red states?

Leela: "Brain! Brain make people dumb!" Fry: "No, Leela. Brain make people smart"

Imagine how bad the air in the 🇺🇸 must be!

REPUBLICANS DON'T GIVE A SHIT.

Pollution is definitely taking it's toll on local TV station managers.

its kind of sad to know for how many Americans their eyes would gloss over at the first but the second one they get no problem.

Well, they had to dumb it down

I would have under the NPR version if it weren’t for all the pollution

Meat also lowers IQ. Via saturated fat mainly.

Bad air make u dumb

That's a catch 22

At least they used a “b”

Now we know why the current admin is gutting the EPA

KTLA would know...

KTLA gets it.

America must be very polluted.

Lack of oxygen

Fantastic news

NPR seems to pander to people who would never read or listen to NPR.

which is why the zoomers call us GenXers the LEAD GENERATION

Buzzfeed: We dumb cus pollution

Welll, duhhh!

We really should be educating up not dumbing down! If an average adult with school leavers cannot understand the NPR piece, then there is something hugely wrong with our education system. As a 10/11yo if I asked my Dad what a word meant he pointed to the dictionary or encyclopedia & said find out!

"the impact increases with... twitter"

Such a lucky coincidence for the polluters! #Serendipity

Obviously we need to get rid of these stupid studies.

perhaps the reason so many are mentally unable to think is lead poisoning? I keep trying to figure out why there are so many of them.

Bad air take brain

Nice of KTLA to dumb it down a bit for us.

Ya gotta dumb it down a lil, NPR. With all the pollution and such...

The pollution must be really dreadful in DC

Kinda explains 11/24 …..

KTLA better get its lawyers on standby. Trump’s FCC may come for its license.

It also contributes to mental disorders.

So the people who have actually been made dumber can understand what happened to them.

"In English, Poindexter!"

I mean, @ktla.com had to dumb it down! That’s the consequence of the results!

Thank GOD there is a reason!!!!!!!!

Maybe just as well, so you don't realise it's also killing you slowly.

I had to read the article 3 or 4 times but i was finally able to, what's the word?, comprehend. (It's been kind of hazy outside.)

The air is much more polluted in Los Angeles than in San Diego or San Francisco. Hence the colorful LONG sunsets in L.A. - Drew - Astrologistico@duck.com

That’s what it’s like talking to one side of the room and then the other side of the room overhears you and wants to know what you meant.

Outstanding, @emophilips.bsky.social!

Dumber? Like, with a b?

No much little Doubt about It…

Data centers cause significant air pollution. So does SpaceX. Get rid of all of them

Not surprised!

Eat more mushrooms kids! 🤍🌈✨ Reishi, Lions Mane, Turkeytail, Cordycepts! Ginko tree leaves harvested when yellow also make a fantastic tea that helps cognitive function & makes us less stupid n’ cloudy brained. Ginko is also an amazing air purifier, hope this helps someone!

Air Pollution obviously makes more people vote Republican. Thank you Emo! Saw you back in the day at a club in the Chicago suburbs. I still use your line of "Alzheimers isn't that bad. My mother got it recently and she forgets she even has it." Hope you don't mind.

We're on it.

LOL Dumbed it down to one sentence

Tracks…

Been predicting this for years, half-jokingly, admittedly, but half-seriously as well, that the dramatic rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations is having a small but significant effect on humans due to chronic, worsening exposure. Think CO2 microdosing = BAD. Might explain rise in public stupidity.

hilarious

These days, I sometimes envy those with lower cognition. Happily ignorant they will be until it ends for them.

hehehe they both misspelled dum

WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK TRUMP WANTS IT...

I agree 💯

I did a report in high school on the neurotoxicity hypothesis on violent crime. It goes back to leaded paints, leaded gas from exhaust and white flight out of downtown centers and ethnic children growing up with such chemicals known to alter brain chemistry in their water, playgrounds, school walls.

pollution is literally stupid.

If pollution causes cognitive decline, Washington D.C. must lead the world in emissions. The sheer scale of institutional amnesia inside the Beltway makes perfect sense now. Our capital city is choking on its own toxic exhaust.

I agree with this!

the rule is if you make me snork laugh you get a follow

KTLA has been in the air since 1947.

But the Trump administration has scrapped the anti-pollution regulations to free industry from the heavy hand of government. Is this wrong?

How sad that a significant number of people are so uneducated that they have to read the KTLA statement to understand. :(

And AI

A play in two acts.

Back the truck up to the WH and play village people songs and when the administration leaves at night they won't remember where to return to. Trumps already foggy - unlikely to make a measurable detectable difference.

Voting for Trump is making MAGA dumber than they were before! Notice, "dumber" is spelled with a "b". A lot of people don't know that.

Hahahahaha

Exactly why we need NPR

sorry big words intimidate you. I for one do not want the news dumbed down.

@npr.org still on Twitter. Grim.

To bad they can't link it to limp dicks. Then they would give a damn about climate change.

Well, I mean NPR did point out that the decline in cognition "increases with twitter [.] com..." so +1?

CBS: Pollution makes us all think the same, good for patriotism, eggheads suggest.

Hi Emo, I saw you in Edinburgh one time. It was good.

"KTLA" is a weird way to spell "NPR"

Anyone can look up what happens to human cognitive function at elevated CO2. Everyone knows different humans have different stress tolerances. We are seeing and experiencing the effects of 432ppm now. Add to that the pollution that sticks and stays in our bodies. We are doomed without big Change.

Well that goes a long way to explaining Platt now, doesn't it? And his voters, especially the ones over in the city of St. Rectum

That's condensing the news.

And there are so many people who will fight electrification of everything humanly possible, saying (of polluting things) it’s “not a lot” or it’s “better than the alternative” despite the fact that the LA basin has a smog-ridden history

Well, that explains the outcome of the 2024 presidential election!🤷🏽‍♀️

KTLA going right to the heart of the story, I see.

Pollution = dumbass

We’ve known that for a century or more… not just lead based petrol, many toxins…

I think it's hilarious that KTLA's version is just simplifying that, which proves the point about cognition rather succinctly, imo.

Oh no no! As 1% we have the latest filtration breakthroughs! -The 1%

When your brain doesn’t get enough oxygen that happens

We have a ton of proof of that

But one should aspire to understand the PBS report, the fact the vast majority of Americans do not try to is why Trump is president.

And I’ve had people say You’re always blaming pollution. Well, it’s to blame for more than I thought!

POLUTION BAD! MAKE STUPE!

“Pollution is linked to a significant increase in verbosity.”

ya reckon how else can someone as stupid as tRump be elected. www.thinkimpact.com/literacy-sta...

Now if only the 34-count CONVICTed felon & his sycophants could just shut their pie holes... that may diminish some air pollution.

They're really looking out for all the people affected by air pollution.

They are down to using puppets and putting on skits over at OAN.

Oh look, there’s a b
