Horrible, of course, but good. Quote him exactly so people hear what #psychologist#Dr.JohnGartner and over 2,000 people who work with people with #dementia have identified as #Trump's "probable dementia."
“The radical left — they’ve been after us for years, and they’ve screwing with people’s lives,” he said, without clarifying who else he was including in the statement. “They’ve gone out and hired lawyers, they’ve been with lawyers for years, being sucked dry.”
Drogenpolitik ist ja in aller Munde, ich möchte meinen Senf dazugeben:
Fragt mal jemanden aus Medizin, Rettung und Pflege, wie viele Menschen sie im Schnitt pro Schicht haben, die wegen dauerhaften Alkoholkonsums nicht mehr für sich selbst sorgen können?
Fragt jemanden aus der Sozialarbeit, z.B. Jugendamt, wie oft bei dramatischen Fällen Alkohol eine Rolle spielt
Guckt mal auf die Zahlen für problematischen Konsum bei Stat. Bundesamt.
As the saying goes, "Real BOFH use tar and rsync!"
The blog article is an excellent treatment of using tar along with SSH to effect a reliable backup plan and schedule.
Another couple of great fav GoTo solutions of mine have always been Duplicity and Duply for those not comfortable rolling their own scripts w/SSH, tar, and/or rsync :batman:
Thank you very much for sharing this @nixCraft !!!
Congratulations to the inspiring #Dr.BruceMiller, who received the Susan Newhouse and Si Newhouse Award of Hope for his lifetime of research into #FTD (#frontotemporaldementia). His brilliance and empathy have touched so many, myself included. At the end of my memoir with Bruce, I wrote about how he was the doctor I wish my father, who had #early-onset #Alzheimer's, had known.
"The public is desperate to hear the truth from real experts about the state of #Trumps cognitive health. Don’t they deserve that? Esp, when all of our lives may depend on it. As people of conscience, we are defying this absurd professional gag order, to speak the truth about Trump’s probable #dementia before it’s too late."
Thank you #ChauncyDeVega for this coverage & thank you #Dr.JohnGartner for bravely speaking out. Yes, our lives may depend on it.
@amyedge. Totally agree! He is doing such important work with this series on #Trump's #cognitive deterioration.
As one of the people interviewed says (I'm paraphrasing), anyone who has been with someone with #dementia knows what is happening. And now me: that the media is not covering this 24/7 is scandalous. Or as #Dr.Gartner says, "Not enough people are sounding the alarm, that based on his behavior, and in my opinion, Donald Trump is dangerously demented."
ChauncyDevega's latest #Salon piece w/hero, #Dr.JohnGartner, who has started a petition for licensed for licensed professionals to sign, "We Diagnose Trump W/Probable Dementia": "Trump’s a classic case of dementia. He ticks all the boxes. He’s shown a precipitous decline from his baseline—He once had a rich vocabulary & spoke in polished paragraphs. & he shows the classic disturbances in memory, language, behavior, & motor performance that we see in dementia patients."

#neurologist Jeffrey Cummings said this about the #memoir I wrote with #Dr.BruceMiller: "A book that brings humanity and science together is rare, but Finding the Right Words achieves this seamlessly and elegantly. Biography, diagnosis, history of behavioral neurology, and a daughter's love converge to produce a deep understanding of how brain disease affects personhood. Read this book to understand how your brain creates your self."
Since word-finding (and losing words) is front of mind for many people, I would like to draw your attention to the #memoir I wrote with #UCSF#neurologist, Dr. Bruce Miller. It's called Finding The Right Words: A Story of Literature, Grief, and the Brain, and it is about my father's #early-onset #Alzheimer's. #Dr.Miller explains the #neurology behind the manifestations of the #disease that I describe. Loss of words was one of my father's first symptoms.
@stevesilberman's Instagram post @rmayemsinger . Read #Salon interviews w/#Dr.JohnGartner: "Most of us have known someone, possibly in our own families, who’s had Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. The diagnostic signs are not subtle. I was giving voice to what ordinary people see w/their own eyes, & they were grateful for validation from a mental health professional." When my father lost words (before he could no longer speak), he'd whistle to show he knew his loss & then try again.
FYI: The reason I sometimes boost the kind words you send me is not to pat myself on the back, but to let people know why I’m here: To bring you news that’s legit and cut through some of the BS.
When others validate that, it keeps me going when some of the more irritating elements of Mastodon make me want to walk away.
Sidebar: I am not on social media to debate, argue, fight, or provoke. I intensely dislike all of those things.
This is an election year. Let’s support Dems, not fascists.
@GottaLaff Geez, what kind of lawyer are you? All lawyers like to debate, argue, fight, provoke and, especially, lie! 🤣
I just ordered #Dr RachelBitecofer's book, "Hit 'Em Where It Hurts" bc I totally agree with her. #Dems are too worried about being "nice." #Dem party needs to be on a "#war footing" bc, otherwise, we'll be in real #POW concentration camps when the #GQP_GOP take over.
2/1 #writerscoffeeclub Tell us about yourself, your published work, your WIP, or anything you think we should know about.
My current WIP is a nonfiction account of the year my dad, who had Alzheimer’s, lived with us. I started it several years ago during a brief time when I wasn’t working and made a fair amount of progress, but set aside when I began working full time. I began writing again at the beginning of this year. I’m close to finishing the first draft. I’d like to try and get it published, that being said, I have never published anything, so I’ve been researching and looking for places that accept submissions. There’s a pinned post on my homepage that tells more about me, so I won’t bore you with it here. 🙂
@Likewise@jmccyoung. Lisa, there is a book website that you might find helpful/interesting. There are some passages from the book, as well as images in color (that appear in black and white in the book). Also, you'll see links to podcasts and other events I have done (sometimes with #Dr.BruceMiller) at various institutions. Here's the link. https://weinsteinandmiller.com
Last night #UCSF was the scene of a joyous celebration in honor of #Dr.BruceMiller's parents, Milton and Harriet Miller. #Music, #art, #poetry, and #science -- especially #neurology -- filled the halls. And lots and lots of love. So honored to be there and to have the #memoir I wrote with Bruce be one of the gifts given to the people who came.
Because today is the 1st #WorldLewyBodyDementia day, I'm sharing a page from the informative & whimsical glossary from my memoir written w/#neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller. Our goal is to give readers, #caregivers, persons with #dementia, a greater understanding of the diseases of dementia. Providing definitions of terms used by #doctors was especially important to me (not an MD) to include in the book b/c when my dad got sick, we didn't know any of this & it would have helped.
#LewyBodyDementia affects over 1 million people in the US. Today is the first #WorldLewyBodyDay. Here is a link to the #UCSF#MAC (Memory and Aging Center) page that provides a brief explanation of this #disease.
Below is an image, drawn by Caroline Prioleau, from my #memoir, written with #Dr.BruceMiller, showing the different #brain disorders that fall under the category of #dementia, including #LewyBodyDementia.
Although I am not a neurologist, I think a lot about the #variants of #PrimaryProgressiveAphasia. I wrote a #memoir about my father's #early-onset #Alzheimer's with #neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF's #MemoryAndAgingCenter. It explains where in the #brain the initial assault happens and helps us understand why people can't find the right words and/or garble them and/or repeat them. After many years, I learned that my father had the #logopenic variant.
