this is a through-line on a number of jobs that we ask mostly-men to do: they are catastrophically bad for mental health, and we know this, and we do not make sufficient provision for care for it.

not gonna be a popular take but “cop” is one of those jobs

I don’t think it’s necessarily great that the CIA operated Afghan military squads but we certainly did do so and we made commitments to those people and we failed to keep faith with at least our moral responsibilities in this case.

(I would also like @rianjohnson.bsky.social to know that a woman sitting across from us on the subway home was carrying fresh new copies of every Christie novel on the list, and started reading one immediately.)

good evening
