Me: I prefer European metal over Indian pop because I like to hear songs about death and destruction

We've created a society where people are isolated from each other. There are no third spaces left. People are sick and poor and hungry. lonely people are vulnerable to the "tells you everything you want to hear"-bot. It sucks especially because I understand the allure. Living alone can be so lonely.

So weird that when you’re brought up to always give and sacrifice, a temporary inability to do so becomes identity-destroying

1) what has a PhD got to do with this
Just ghosted my date because he was holding his knife and fork in the wrong hands. He has a PhD, so there's no excuse for that.

I am most entertained by the idea that a PhD, of all things, is going to make anyone a *more* effective member of polite society.

FINNISH FOLK-METAL HUMMINGBIRD!
Photo not mine (hummingbirds aren’t available in south London, and I’m still furious about it). It’s the work of Andy Morffew. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:En...

Last sentence is how i do my hair tbf
Pros of ridiculously long bill: can reach deep into the trumpet of specific flowers and drink nectar other birds can’t reach.
Cons of ridiculously long bill: bill is too long for preening, so has to stand on one leg and tend to feathers with other foot.

I disagree, sword-billed hummingbirds are lovely.
I have nothing of value or interest to say, so here’s a sword-billed hummingbird.

I love the "Prosecutions for fare evasion on the Tube are at their highest level for six years" bit. I wonder what could have happened 5-6 years ago that would have caused fare evasion to decline so steeply?!?

I love this description and I’m leaning into it so much
If they spend exactly half the year in one place and half the year in the other, neither place is more authentically their home than the other, they are unmoored from their locus, they are become unpeople, shadows of identity, wisps of ancestral lore unthreaded by wealth.

our comparisons were made with the pre-2010 BBC in mind. As someone who grew up with BBC Worldservice (on shortwave), the fall since has been steep. Just making news in recent times.

Yeah, both of them are being annoying, but I’m afraid I’m siding a little bit with Dave on this one. If you’re staying somewhere away from your main home for 6 months of the year you’re basically an immigrant to that other country! It’s okay to have a mishmash!
It occurs the longer I dwell on this that she thinks they're going on holiday and he is trying to live somewhere and she finds that too mundane
