"village" mentality is what sustains conservatism. not being able to do anything without the Grandma Gestapo reporting your every move. depending on the easily withdrawn kindness of others instead of impersonal but reliable services. and of course obeying aristocratic landowners
Its gonna be hard to have a family in a single family house when you have to bring your prospective girlfriends to your parents' house instead of your own place.
Addison highlights these types of comments from American conservatives, and I’ve seen this all the time and always think it’s especially deranged. America has the lowest density, most “single-family” housing stock of basically any modern nation and it’s still not enough for these people!

One of the group chats I’m in is convinced that the tell a man is normal and well adjusted in 2025 is if he owns and uses a toilet brush, and this started as a bit but at this point I’m basically convinced that it’s true
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Reading a bunch of books this year has really solidified for me how awful the internet is in comparison nowadays. Obviously in terms of general hostility but more generally in terms of lack of depth, insight, reading comprehension, base of knowledge, etc

Here's a fun cross-generational story: I knew a lovely lady who was a teen during WWII and her boyfriend was drafted, so she listened to sad, emotional ballads. Her 1920s era, ex-flapper mom was disgusted with the slow and maudlin stuff Kids These Days liked circa 1944.

Overheard in the supermarket. Two teenagers.
1: 'Where's Dad?'
2 (with ineffable weariness): 'In the cheese aisle, having the time of his life.'

There’s a dissertation that gets cited all the time in my field that would have been a *book* that gets cited all the time, if there had been any opportunity for the author to stay in the trade. At this point we can all think of work that might have been career-making, so many firsts that were final
I wrote this a few years ago now, but it's still very relevant sadly. Constant redundancy has been the norm for many of us since we began our careers. Sorry for everyone who is now facing it unexpectedly. Logging off for a bit. #UKHE #UCU
