Thomas Massie, 55, is already the exception to the rule of Republican politics.
While others have capitulated and genuflected to the president over the past decade, eliciting comparisons with a personality cult,
the seven-term congressman with a libertarian bent has emerged as ever more defiant.
He voted against Trump’s sprawling tax and spending cuts bill; co-authored legislation compelling the justice department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files;

“President Trump exhibits what forensic mental health experts have, across dozens of independent assessments, identified as the ‘Dark Triad’ of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy … Rather than constituting a clinical diagnosis, this trait-based assessment is grounded in behavioral observation and is particularly useful for assessing the level of danger an individual poses in a political leadership position. We do not offer this as a clinical verdict. We offer i…

How informal is your prose? Is there a limit to informality?
I think that, even where you don't have a first-person narrator, prose in fiction should express the personality of the point of view character -- be similar to but just a little more formal than their normal way of speaking.
To preserve the plausibility that they might have writt…

Ok, so this is kinda interesting, but we don’t need another pop-sci personality profile. Instead, people could read up on Albert Bandura’s theory of self-efficiacy, and how the belief in abilities being changable through our own actions—as also described by Carol Dweck’s growth mindset—is a characteristic of high self-efficiacy.

Coming face to face with a probable psychopath was enough to make Dr Leanne ten Brinke rethink her career choices.
Early in her 20s, while studying forensic psychology in Halifax, in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia,
Ten Brinke was volunteering at a parole office, which would hold weekly group meetings for released sex offenders.
“Most of the men showed contrition,” says Ten Brinke.
“They really seemed to recognise the damage that they had done.”

Robert was a personality. He was loud, fun, thoughtful, determined, principled, noticeable. He lived. Uncompromising, yet deeply caring. Towering, and not merely physically. His hairstyles were legion and legend. He was a creator and a coordinator of mayhem and of chaos. He had all the skills of an engineer, and all the sensibilities of a…

The hardest part of being a moderator (of any community online or off) isn't dealing with the trolls, spammers, and assholes.
It's dealing with the personality conflicts between *mostly* well-meaning but not-handling-it-well people. It's the human aspect.
That doesn't scale to a billion-person platform, or allow for mods to be interchangeable cogs. Humans are hard, yo.

Alex Vindman is not a man to hold a grudge.
Ask him about the bullying, intimidation and retribution meted out by Donald Trump and Maga acolytes following his appearance as a key witness in the first of the president’s two first-term impeachments, and he almost shrugs it off.

Went to see Stuart Goldsmith doing his work in progress stand up show about the climate at the local theater.
He's a funny man and has a good friendly personality (or stage-persona at least I guess) and is terrified and anxious and angry about the way the people are treating the world without out even being their fault.
It's a good show, he's a good guy, you should go see him do it at Edinburgh or whenever he's in your town.
No action you can take as an individual really makes much difference to the end of the world stuff. You should be vegan perhaps, ethical banking perhaps. But really the only thing that works is mass social pressure, so talking about it is the best thing you can do. If you can't be vegan, at least say you are.
Perhaps telling everyone on linked-in to book him for their climate sessions is best he reckons 😆 but I don't do corporate social media at all really, so Mastodon and cross post to Bluesky is the best thing I can do perhaps.
Stu's a friend of a friend, we've met before. Don't think he recognized me sitting in the front row without context against the stage lights though. Maybe a little at the end with some context when he's rushing to get home.
Still love that Captain Pike hairdo.
