I’m not sure where to place this query to word nerds, but amid the smithereens of the world he is making, the orange buffoon’s specific language tic has got to me and I want to know if there is a linguistic way of thinking about this:

“nothing like this has ever happened before, nothing like this has ever been seen”

What do we call this motif, this idiolect? It’s so insistent, like a mosquito.

Having a moment of gratitude to all those people who make very short videos showing exactly how to fix a minor household thing without getting into deeper trouble.

The pearl-clutching about “family voting” in Gorton and Denton is an eye opener for Australians who all rock up for a democracy sausage in one car and vote compulsorily together while we’re at it.

RE: @bethsawin@spore.social

Coming back to this small thread from @bethsawin@spore.social to think about how we keep in mind what is possible, not just what is happening. How we draw attention to the possible in the everyday, and keep noticing it on purpose?
