Uh, this seems like a great place to list the warning signs of a stroke, with the F.A.S.T. method:

F = Face Drooping – Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the person's smile uneven?

A = Arm Weakness – Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

S = Speech Difficulty – Is speech slurred?

T = Time to call 911 – Stroke is an emergency. Every minute counts. Call 911 immediately. Note the time when any of the symptoms first appear.

That vacant stare and mouth slightly drooping are what got me thinking it was a stroke.

The environment is so toxic people are just stroking out, like their brain cells would rather die than tolerate any more

I wish him whatever ills I'm allowed to impotently hope befall an instrumental fascist. Hangnails, maybe.
