1/ THREAD: #JimJordan amidst telling an easily fact-checked lie, "Democrats prevent Republicans from serving on The Select Committee". A nose touch/rub/scratch is an extremely common deceptive #BodyLanguage tell. #BodyLanguageExpert#Jan6thCommittee
2/ Note also, Marjorie Taylor Greene's simultaneous eyelid closure. Eyelid closure (high frequency, prolonged, and/or simultaneous) is a form of lack of eye contact, which is a strong anxiety indicator.
3/ Given this context, her concurrent eyelid closure is highly suggestive that Taylor Greene recognizes Jordan's lie as a lie.

1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4627 (Response to query): "When a man stares at me I stare right back. I hold the stare until they look away. They get upset. Someone explain this interaction scientifically." #BodyLanguageExpert#BodyLanguage#EmotionalIntelligence
2/ Short Answer: They're probably attracted to you, but they're quickly intimidated by your non-look away, the strength it implies, and your non-intimidation.
3/ In their worldview, women are supposed to acquiesce and look away in this context. But you don't. They don't know how to interpret your response.
1/ THREAD: Whenever you come across anyone who seems like they're character-acting their lives (or chunks of it), they probably are. There's a good chance they'r a sociopath-psychopath (APD), Narcissist, or Histrionic Personality Disorder.
2/ Some examples of this behavior in public life include:
• Ted Cruz
• Mike Pence
• Jacob Rees-Mogg
• Kyrsten Sinema
• Scott Morrison
• Damn near everyone on Trump's cabinet
3/ These people really give you the feeling they're acting — B grade acting, yes — almost satirical acting — hyperbolic (think melodramatic child-actor, only in this case, as adults).
2/They've been a couple for a while now, but some people are still making a kerfuffle about the height difference between @Zendaya and @TomHolland1996.
3/ The two A-list actors co-star in "Spider-man: No Way Home". Zendaya's height is listed as 180.3 cm (5'11"), (although some report a bit shorter), while Holland's is 172.7 cm (5'8").
1/ THREAD: Body Language Analysis No. 4625: Senator Ted Cruz displays contradictory and disrespectful #BodyLanguage while observing #BobDole Lying in State at the Capitol Rotunda. #BodyLanguageExpert
2/ Cruz's head is bowed. And although we cannot see his hands, we can infer their positions. They're configured in a fig leaf/modified fig leaf. While this is a proper head and hand position at a funeral — his feet are spread too far apart.
3/ Cruz's feet should be much closer together — touching or almost touching. His feet are 'at ease', but his feet should 'at attention'. #BodyLanguageExpert
1/ THREAD: "We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest..."
2/ "...The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of 'earning a living'..."
3/ "...We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist..."
1/ THREAD: To be clear, Rep. Lauren Boebert did not apologize to Rep. Ilhan Omar. A 'Twitter apology' is NOT an apology. Boebert's was a weak pseudo-apology.
2/ A true apology requires much more. And what Boebert did and said were no simple mistakes — Boebert's acts of malice and racism were deliberate and planned.
3/ Components of a Sincere Apology:
• An apology must always be given by the person who committed the act in question - not by a manager, an attorney, a press secretary - or other surrogates.
