If I don't respond to you, it's not because you made a good point. It's because I am not going to waste my time trying to show you why you were wrong. It's okay for me to leave you sit there being wrong. I did not take you to raise.

Couple of things here:
1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently
2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"
3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"
4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Putting your actual bona fides out in public is a necessity of academia--being honest about them is critical. There is no shame in not having yet published or in self-publishing but don't lie. Everyone who can see this is on a device that holds nearly all of the accumulated knowledge of humanity.
Hi! I’ve been internationally published (peer reviewed) twice in Higher Education & I teach APA formatting & editing. It’s only capitalized at the beginning of a sentence or when referring to an entire demographic, not when using as an adjective to describe an individual person.

“Censorship” is a thought-terminating cliché. These people want you to believe that:
- labeling is censorship
- fact-checking is censorship
- transparency is censorship
- research is censorship
What they’re doing is redefining anything that might inconvenience a hard-right populist as censorship.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.
