It would appear that Biden deftly adjusted his tempo, tone, and volume in real time. Reads fluently, reflecting practice effects and normal verbal learning. No difficulties sustaining high levels of concentration and attention over time. Affect is full. Executive-functioning
Let’s be honest about something. If you are on twitter frequently enough to be reading this then you are privileged. You have money for a smart phone or internet. You have time on your hands even if you should be working. You have fairly well developed language skills. 1/
Think of their children. I don’t know the answer but I wanted to make sure people know that people are dying. People without a voice. People you don’t see on tv. People who don’t get talked about on tv. They are real people. That is the scope of this tragedy. That is all for now.
The people who are going to be dying in droves are not seen by society often. They are doormen, cleaning ladies, babysitters, and the people who probably were part of what can be called the village that helped to raise and get u where u are today. Think of those relationships. 3/
You are not the most affected by this pandemic. We are all at risk. But you are probably quarantining to one degree or another bc u can afford to. U don’t have to ride the subway bc u can stay home. U don’t have to drive strangers around in a car bc u can stay home. 2/
I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. Spanish Harlem voting spot line is about half a mile long (~10 city blocks). This. Is. America. When New Yorkers are willing to wait one a line that is half a mile long on the first day of early voting an hour and 15 min b4 closing..

New:
Lame duck President Donald Trump AND outgoing VP Mike Pence sue POTUS-elect Joe Biden and VP-elect Kamala Harris to set aside the vote in two counties with Wisconsin's most people of color.
I thinks it’s past time that we as a society have a serious conversation about the proliferation of politically motivated death threats (eg toward Fauci).
PSA: Per Ivanka, Donald made a deal with Moderna for a covid vaccine in January, 2020 before going on to deny the severity & contagiousness of the virus for many months while Americans died en masse.

Why is an elected state representative with a check mark indicating that this is Nunes’s official account promoting knowledge produced by an intentionally deceptive organization masquerading as an academic institution? Does that make Nunes complicit in fraud?
#AskingForAFriend
Staff begged him. Senators begged him. Kellyanne Conway begged him. When asked if he would finally deploy the National Guard, he said no. And then he said no again.
Seems like psychiatry has totally transformed into a “a customer is always right” model which is a probably not a great fit for a field in which the “customers” are often mentally ill.
Some folks grew up in families where ADHD, learning disabilities, & academic accommodations did not exist. Rather, laziness, will power, smarts, & effort often were the more familiar buzzwords. Don’t let outmoded views limit your potential. Discover what you’re entitled to get.

The receipt is an indictment from SDNY against several high ranking members of the Russian mafia. One mobster used illicit gambling/loan sharking profits to buy Unit 63AB in Trump Tower. It is illegal to use dirty money to buy property and is called money laundering. 63AB seized.
“Nevertheless, we took the bait: Collusion may not be a crime, lawyers and pundits responded, but conspiracy is. This “reflexive” response adopted criminality as the bar to be met.” -

It’s really fucked up that Trump is extorting the WHO in exchange for a report from them which would be framed as exonerating Trump from culpability for the pandemic.

It really has to do with motivation. Joe, like a regular person with feelings and values, has the motivation to protect peoples lives; whereas Trump, like Honey Badger, doesn’t give af.

Everyone up in arms about the 545 children whose parents can’t be found. Of course, this is a tragedy. However, it should not - for one minute - make you think that those children who were reunited after forced separation & detention are ok. I assure u they are not. Lives ruined.
Trump’s rhetoric is moving along a continuum of dehumanization & sadism while the GOP now talk openly about Trump being a deity. A familiar pro-fascist soup is cooking. It looks just like the soup that brewed in Germany in the decade preceding the gas chambers at Auschwitz. End/

Thinking of going to grad school but worried about taking the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, or MCAT bc of a suspected or previously diagnosed learning disability or ADHD?
If so, consider re-upping your neuropsych eval via to get the accommodations you need for tests .
The entire indictment and grand jury section is worth reading but here is the page where a unit in Trump Tower is explicitly described as a vehicle for money laundering & therefore forfeiture. See “a” below and google the building number.
Is Devin Nunes’ preoccupation with suing people trying to protect his “good name” performative & sacrificial in some way as taking one for the team or is it in earnest & nothing more than an indication of a severe identity disturbance-an epitome of the deflated narcissist?

You, Tucker, have made your views on child rape and women loud and clear. There is nothing to debate. The question now is whether

Man, this Devin is just getting victimized right and left. First it was a cow. Then the other day, people in his district were going to be protected form fatal covid. Now he has to deal with a commission looking at y ~at least 200k Americans had to die, die alone & w/out funeral.

It is very bizarre. Prior to matriculating at Fordham, he graduated from a military HS, widely known as a school for disturbed students who were expelled from a prior school due to behavioral/conduct problems generally. I’m not surprised he doesn’t want his records-disc-unsealed

Do you have trouble focusing?
Are you forgetful?
Do you know what will raise your test scores?
Extended time. Get psychological testing done to see if you qualify for accommodations.

PSA: Amy Barrett views the primary function of the 1st Amendment as to protect minority speech (ie unpopular speech e.g., putatively hate speech). She ignored (maybe devalued) the main function of 1A yesterday when asked, namely, to hold the government accountable in a democracy.
@PreetBharara
His testimony was crystal clear: Trump is guilty, unethical, and undoubtedly should be impeached. The worst that can be said was that he was fatigued. The twitter construal of “disaster” is so far from reality it’s frankly embarrassing.

Is this a parody account now? What in the world is a psychologist doing tweeting an article as though it is credible peer reviewed research when it makes a claim about such a hit button issue? It’s very inauthentic and depressing to see.
~8500 new cases in New York today and the motherfucking President is encouraging people to disregard medical advice to socially distance, telling them to “liberate” their states & putatively inciting domestic terrorism on twitter. Chaos & death everywhere under Trump. Accurate?
But you probably wouldn’t. You wouldn’t because you would be paranoid for life about getting caught. The absence of that fear is a defining trump trait and it is beyond dangerous it is a fucking emergency.
Personality disorders are ego-syntonic. Affirming care for PDs would therefore only serve to strengthen the hold of the maladaptive pathological pattern that the patient sees no issue with.
Donald has severe Antisocial Personality Disorder F60.2/301.7 which renders him incapable of performing the duties of POTUS by virtue of his impairment as well as the risk he poses to the safety of self or others.
@JonahDispatch
I think he means it metaphorically. You know, like everyone has a responsibility to every child in the sense that it’s basic human difference to care about all children not just one child. It’s a saying. A rather widely understood one. So what is this take?

Twitter should consider targeted harrassment of a minority group to include editing video to fit prejudiced, fear-mongering, and hateful negative stereotypes. Labor intensive but doable. Having the two videos - w and w out context provide a clear cut example of this cc

Gets worse and worse for Trump. The only reason to use WhatsApp is to avoid record keeping for the communication indicating they knew they were doing something they shouldn’t be doing.
The distinction between Biden & Trump in connection to the invocation of the Defense Production Act, w/ Biden invoking it & Donald failing to adequately, is extremely consequential. Anticipate 3M N95 masks available to the general public for sale w/o $ gouging: Thus, lives saved.

Main point: anyone willing to use racism as a way to garner political support and who is greedy, corrupt, and open to bribes should never be elected for anything. It is an awfully dangerous combination which happens to be a requisite for fascism to rise.

Prevailing wisdom:
South Korea is the gold standard for how to deal w the coronavirus pandemic.
Why? Mass testing. Testing for those with & w out symptoms. Testing for anyone entering the country. All testing gratis.
Why not in America? ...🤔

So your magical VAA Act resulted in the firing of thousands of VA employees likely with pensions and/or near retirement. Great policy, Donald 🙄. Cut down staff at already under staffed VA hospitals.

In short, the movie Molly’s Game was based on a true story & the people running/profiting from the gambling operation were Ru mob. The Ru mob used their profits to by 63AB in Trump Tower.

I wish more members of Congress would tell their story of how they survived 1/6 like AOC did. It helps the public understand what happened in a way that has yet to be made public. Where did they go? How did they stay safe? Etc.
