Fellas, is it gay to not be gay?
The words coming out of Trump's mouth are 100% reactive, a reflection of what he believes will impress/pressure/deceive the people he's talking to. Again, the most useful comparison is an LLM trying to complete the prompt. He's doing autocomplete all the time, independent of truth or reality.

Oh you're only saying that because it looks fake and sounds fake
It also doesn't really sound like something he'd say. Maybe something he'd do, but I don't think that's how he'd talk about it.
I ain't going to the Nazi site to check, but that screenshot looks fake to me.

Basically, when we say "I'm done my homework", we're not quite saying the same thing as "I have done my homework". What we're really saying is "I am in the state of having completed my homework." And I think that's neat. (Fin.)
... because modern English uses "to have" as a past tense auxiliary, not "to be".
But I don't think that's what we're doing! I think that when we say "I'm done my homework", "done" isn't a past tense verb—it's an adjective, and "done my homework" is an adjective phrase. (4/5)
I'm not a real linguist, but I think I've figured out what's going on.
Other speakers always use a past-tense construction in this situation, so they assume that's what we're doing with the "done" in "I'm done my [noun]." And if that were true, then "I'm done my" would indeed be weird... (3/5)
The controversial structure is that in "I'm done my homework." Absolutely a normal sentence where I'm from, but many other English speakers not only find it unnatural—they insist it's "incorrect". I don't want to get into the prescriptivist bullshit here, but I find the difference intriguing. (2/5)
This video by @evanedinger.bsky.social made me realize that a perfectly normal structure in my variety of English sounds "wrong" to most English speakers outside Canada and a couple small parts of the US. And my ADHD brain has been obsessing about it for the better part of a week now. (1/5)
I don't think there's ever *really* been a time when large numbers of people thought pro wrestling was legitimate competition. I once found a book about pro wrestling by a coach, published around 1910 I think, and even then he couldn't bring himself to pretend that all the matches were legit.
ADHD me was just making a silly joke.
Congrats, this is your lowest quality fact yet! Densely layered.

The Alberta Liberals would kill to be a regional party, if there were any of them left to express such a desire.
You are either overestimating the decline of the federal NDP, which currently has 7 MPs and got 6.29% of the vote last election, or underestimating the decline of the Alberta Liberals, who got 0.24% last election and basically no longer exist except in the most technical bureaucratic sense.
I'm not saying the jokes aren't funny, but it feels a bit weird to be using a euphemism for the death of a dog ("farm upstate") when talking about a woman who once famously was just like "hey, here's a funny story about a time I murdered a puppy".
If you're in line at the airport, skip the line!
