"Developing our linguistic capacities — to master diverse concepts, to follow an intricate argument, to form judgments, to communicate those to others — is the development of our capacity to think. Cognitive degradation threatens democratic processes."

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Biden never lost his intellectual capacities. Trump never had them. What functioning he had is eroding, and it's obvious every day.

Mental imagery is associated with a bewildering variety of human traits and capacities: a propensity to hold grudges; a vulnerability to trauma; emotional awareness; ways of making art; memory of one’s life. What happens if you can’t see it? https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/HgpLlB

Some People Can’t See Mental Images. The Consequences Are Profound
Research has linked the ability to visualize to a bewildering variety of human traits—how we experience trauma, hold grudges, and, above all, remember our lives.

UKRAINIAN MANPOWER REMAINS A PROBLEM
If I told you that, since the law changed, over a year ago to allow volunteers 18-25 to serve in various capacities, and that 10,000 had applied but less than 5,000 actually signed up, you see the problem with Ukraine’s youth. Salaries of £24k per year,

If you gave the same treatment to the West Wing it wouldn't be entirely awful in terms of proportions. But the result would be very clearly a palace instead of a mansion. These are capacities that should not be integrated into the executive residence, sorry.
Still aghast how comically oversized the expansion is

Swedish company Saab, in order to fulfill a large-scale contract for Ukraine for the JAS 39E/F Gripen fighter jets, and we are talking about "at least 100 aircraft", means the need not only to expand production capacities, but also to create a new production center.

I had to sign an NDA, but it was because I was in a “secret” unit. Pretty sure anyone who worked there in certain capacities had to, but that was protocol. It wasn’t because we were doing illegal shit that needed to be covered up. This is nuts!

And yes, if Dems had been elected, I believe they would have advanced justice and equity, in at least some capacities, within their limited power to do so.

We've spoken to people who've worked with Anne. Not directly. Charities, various public capacities. They compare her to a boss you like to have. She is totally prepared, she is unpretentious, she won't ask people do things she won't do herself, and she knows how to cut the crap.
It’s widely stated on the various U.K. military chatboards and from talking with serving and ex personnel that those in units that had Andrew as their ceremonial head totally despised him, in contrast Anne was totally revered by those in the units she was associated with.

Yeah, expecting local political operations to suddenly have the capacities of food bank infrastructure and staff is pretty ridiculous. But I’ve definitely seen tons of posts from electeds about how to support neighbors in need and access local resources.
