This was the bit that really struck me, building on your excerpt - "Jared" had this aggressive alter ego for the sake of sports, which leaked out elsewhere and he medicated partly through drugs. This seems to have then been conflated with his "Trump-is-me" persona

I made my cat absolutely indignant with the cone of shame after something got her leg and she wouldn't stop licking the wound back open again. Since then she fortunately has seemed to accept her lot, and should only be cone-bound for a few more weeks.

It's bunked off to the cotswolds for the day

Gotta shout out @nkjemisin.bsky.social for this utter banger from The Fifth Season. This series rewrote my brain from the ground up.

According to Merriam Webster it means gentile/non-jew. Sometimes disparaging, but I see no suggestion that that happens any more than any other word for "outsider"

And this is why I'm not part of any #Warhammer40k groups on FB - sure, there's plausible deniability - that's the point - but in the wake of the election I'm far less inclined to give the benefit of the doubt.
