Glitch is one way to put it/to minimize it. I would say "probable #dementia," as #psychologist Dr. John Gartner calls it.

Here's a chart listing the different #variants of #PrimaryProgressiveAphasia.

How low can you go? "Every one of the Supreme Court’s nine justices is well aware of the recusal statute that binds federal judges . . . Even then, before #SCOTUS produced its own totally voluntary, never-say-never ethical guidelines in 2023, internal policy and external law required them to refrain from acting like thin-skinned partisan nuts, and to recuse themselves from relevant cases when they failed to adhere to this standard. This is a low bar to clear."

The goal of those MAGA allies is simple: to make it unimpeachably clear that their primary fealty is to Donald Trump over the rule of law. If we are going to treat this as a story about loyalty-signaling, let’s frame the question this way: Loyalty to what, exactly? Not just loyalty to Trump. This episode - is better seen as a statement of ultimate fealty to Trump over and above our institutions, as a declaration that he is paramount and they are thoroughly dispensable.

We are speeding into idiocracy.

How about all #media cover this example of what sure sounds like #aphasia? Those of who know people with #dementia know what this is.

#Academia.edu emailed me this morning with this gem: "Cindy, have you coauthored a paper with Nathaniel Hawthorne? Specifying your co-authors will make your citation count more accurate. We will not display this information unless you tell us to."

No need -- I will display this information!

#TrumpTrial Tues 14 May, 2024 🧵

#Trump has his posse again. Today it’s more #Republican elected officials. Today, Trump will be joined by the #House speaker, #MikeJohnson, as well as #NorthDakota’s governor, #DougBurgum, a contender to be Trump's running mate. Also present will be Representatives #ByronDonalds & #CoryMills of Florida, & #VivekRamaswamy, who was one of Trump's primary rivals this year. Both Donalds & Ramaswamy are longshot hopefuls to be Trump's running mate.

Remember: I cannot reply while live-posting, so plz use NFL (Not For Laffy.. no hashtag) so I can skip your replies. THANK YOU.

1/… First, via Lawrence O'Donnell:

J.D. Vance was on the phone the entire time. He wasn’t taking in a word of testimony. Tuberville, to his credit, looking straight ahead, taking it all in as best he can, whatever sense he can make of it

#Target, you're confusing a signal with noise. This is not how you deal with #fascists, #racists, and #transphobes: "The reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt and learn so that our future approach to these moments balances celebration, inclusivity and broad-based appeal," Christina Hennington, Target's chief growth officer, said last summer."

Moving piece on #Mother love/mother #loss: "Research on the sex-specific impact of father loss abounds in pediatric literature, as does sex-unspecified parental loss — but finding useful research on the unique needs of female-sexed children and women drowning in mother loss takes the kind of work most laywomen shouldn’t have to do when sobbing with grief."
