every now & then someone on the anti-trans side will get cold feet about how openly ugly it's all getting—they want to keep the image of a nice, sensible centrist but it's never enough for them to get off the train

Are we not certain that Trump isn't all a construct designed to further this Evan Vucci's photography carrier?

Back at home after a long weekend away playing a British Army nursing officer in 1944 Holland. I love that I get to do this. Main takeaway: when someone asks you to do war crimes, say ‘no thank you, I don’t believe in any of that’

Would have gotten in trouble for distributing our rations to them, had my captain not helpfully gotten killed. So it became her idea and helpfully signed and dated all the forms, which I found after coming out of her office on my own in the middle of the night with a pen

Threw the battalion CO under the bus for complicity with war crimes as well. And after all that, since there was a vacancy, guess who the new nursing captain was. Scheming little shit

Best scene was very carefully going around my chain of command to get some nuns to send us refugees from their convent. ‘Mother Superior, I can’t promise we will help them. Of course, if they were to arrive on their own, we would be obligated to…’

it's hard to describe to young folks how cool airbnb was when it first launched. just weirdos and spare rooms for like twenty bucks. we stayed at a guy's house in oregon who was a "bear safety expert" and when we asked him what to do if a bear attacked you he replied, completely seriously "i dunno."

Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

Just heard the phrase “When I was elected,” from somewhere behind me. Announcing my new social anthropology podcast where I just get this train back and forth all day and report back

Old boy has gone in with both barrels: what do you think about Brexit, what do you think about Scottish independence. Not really waiting for an answer before musing about whether ‘referendum’ is a gerund. “You’re a lawyer, you did Latin-“ and he is disappointed to learn otherwise

Ah, now this is more like it - older academic man lamenting the riots in France, where he lives, as counterproductive and ordering a glass of red wine at noon. This is closer to what I expected

You can do an alt-right cosplay and wear a lot of lace or perfectly shined shoes as much as you want, but the rest of the world, even yours, is eating crisps and playing games on its phone and only the most violent disaster will ever make it change

I thought I’d try treating myself but the problem is you can’t even be a conservative any more because the rich are all self-radicalised vulgarians. I’m in the women’s sex-based rights carriage and everyone is wearing sweatpants

Well, if Sophie’s to be believed, it’s a little bit more nuanced than that - it’s actually ‘I am prone to psychosis during kink sessions, prone to only mentioning it after the fact, and it’s ableist for anyone to suggest the things I did when I was psychotic were wrong or dangerous’

“I am prone to psychosis during kink play sessions” does not feel like an angle I would be using to bolster my “you’re safe around me” credentials
