Oh.

Via @emptywheel:

Just for shits and giggles, Jack Smith should call up Sidney Powell and ask her whether her seeming reneging on her Fani Willis plea was a reaction to Trump's (gag-defying) Tweet about her.

@GottaLaff @emptywheel Instructions by Judge McAfee were that she is not to talk to the press about the case. Hmm.

Returning to the scene of the crime (as it were), Twizzler Trump continues to over-value the assets.

@Tengrain The judge didn't say $18 million, the Palm Beach County Assessor did.

Linguists have discovered that humans vary their speech rate within sentences across all languages. For example, most people slow their speech down before saying nouns.

And, let’s be clear about stereotypes:

There is no inherent connection between the rate of speech and levels of intelligence, truthfulness or kindness. Language use differs for all sorts of reasons, and differences are not deficiencies.

@TheConversationUS @psychology When I was 17 my family moved from Arkansas to Alaska. It was a cultural shock in more ways than one. But my 1st day of school (I was a senior), a TEACHER drew attention to my southern drawl by replicating my speech in front of the class. I was already nervous, but then I felt humiliated. From that day forward, I practiced changing how I spoke. Now, decades later, the drawl will work its way out if I spend any time in conversation w/someone from my home state.
