    I understand narcissistic personality disorder like the back of my hand. Trump is as familiar as an old movie, so let me share some intel.1/

    Man, is an agonizing watch. I’m only on Episode 3. Getting through all 6 is going to be a tough climb.

    Important thread on the invisible hand of the media feeding confirmation bias and cementing lasting narratives about public figures.

    I missed the first two episodes of last night but I’m DVRing them tonight. I’m bracing for what seems like it’s going to be a harrowing but necessary watch.

    The faster a guest on MSNBC or CNN talks, the less likely it is they’re telling the truth.

    I found this piece to be pretty gross but it hammered home the importance of protecting my son’s privacy even in anonymous places.

    Judge extends Mueller grand jury for up to six more months. These jurors have been hearing evidence for 18 months. Ohhhh, the stories they must have.

    Trump’s behavior is reckless, impulsive, dysregulated, dysfunctional. It’s a lot of things. A result of Adderall abuse though? Not likely. Dragging prescribed meds into the mix excuses Trump himself and wrongly shifts responsibility to the med not the man. That’s not great. //

    Not trying to be soapboxy but among our shortcomings in dealing with mental health, one is our cultural treatment of medications. Using meds like Xanax, Prozac, etc.. as backdoor personal insults stigmatizes them, the real issues they treat and the people who have them. 7/

    There are many ppl who are rightfully prescribed Adderall and significantly helped by it. Turning taking it into a shorthand for drug abuse, impulse dyscontrol and being a general a**hole isn’t all that terrific. The guy has baseline issues. No pill is the cause of that. 6/

    I said a year ago I wouldn’t be surprised if he was/had been on Adderall. One comedian’s on-stage comment has now led to people likening taking Adderall to something akin to doing coke though... and people are now tying Trump’s behavior to an Rx that is by no means the cause. 5/

    Lastly, Adderall is an appetite suppressant. It’s pretty common for people to lose weight on it and for that to be an issue requiring monitoring. Trump’s apparent weight gain just doesn’t track all that well to being a regular Adderall user these days. 4/

    Also, Trump seems genuinely ADHDish and the effects of Adderall on people appropriately prescribed for ADHD are vastly different than on people taking it inappropriately. Adderall is often calming and focusing for people w ADHD. It’s primarily a stimulant for people w/o ADHD. 3/

    People often crush meds to defeat time-release formulations. If a pill’s compounds are made harder to breakdown, they take effect more gradually. Crushing them defeats that onboarding speed limit and rushes and concentrate the effects. 2/
