Are we talking 'cutting the obscene appearance fee budget' dark or 'defence of Winterfell' dark?

It's fascinating to watch the American military institute the same recruitment policies as a Quake Clan.

I think the weirdest part of groups like 'For Women Scotland' is looking at the horrendous rates of crime and violence the cis community perpetrates. Maybe fix your own house before tearing down the trans community by claiming they are a danger?

I'm not saying I don't get out much but this weekend's wargaming was so intense I'm going to need a few days to recover. In other news I have strong opinions about guys who died 400 years ago after what their 28mm representations did.

Sometimes teaching is just hilarious. Me: 'We have a known concentration and volume.' Learner: 'Then an unknown?' Me: 'So we add the known.' L: 'Then what's left is the unknown?' Me: 'The volume.' L: 'We know the volume.' Me: 'Not the concentration.' L: 'We know the concentration.' Me: 'Unknown!'

On reflection; the Halo series jumped the shark back in Halo 2 with the perfection that was tank and bridge.

Husband: 'The plumber is great. Also autistic so he will do a good job and not scam us.' Me: 'I'm not sure that... I have been scammed and cheated by autistic people loads of times.' Husband: 'Only when gaming. We aren't that kind of people.' Me: 'Do you have some form of secret handshake?'

Ok, I'll remind you I'm married to a GP and whilst I understand the frustration... Please don't use a publication that publicly misquoted her and threatened her career to bash the profession. ❤️ I can guarantee they are using dodgy stats to say this nonsense.

UK Media: 'Ministers should pay attention to the concerns of Piddington and respect the significance of this vote to leave the UK.' Also UK Media: 'Anyone suggesting independence for Scotland is an enemy of the people.'

The strangest part of the trans-exclusionary lesbian discourse is trying to square it with the lesbian friends I hang out with. None of us are interested in sleeping with each other so much as who is willing to take everyone's kids for the afternoon so the rest of us can sleep at all.

Despite my warnings, husband asked eldest child to elaborate on the complex lore of their school friends roleplayed family dynamics. I am once again listening to multiple queer marriages and rebellious offspring engaged in entirely fictional drama with no clear narrative resolution or pay off. Sigh.

Like, marginalised communities can make decisions on what ground to concede at their own expense as political compromise. Political commentators, political parties and politicians don't get to expect loyalty or thanks for doing so on behalf of those communities .

There's nothing cheap about the upkeep of a 4x4. People ask why we don't go up embankments and use the four wheel drive functions of the XC90 when we don't need to. Then I explain the cost of replacing parts of the suspension.
