Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange wants you to know he doesn't live in some basement.
He lives in an embassy. Let's get it right.

And he played a bit of the sideline psychologist.
What is the insecurity that drives this unprofessionalism? Imagining me stuffed in a cupboard soothes the pain. But what pain?

WHAT PAIN
Are there any studies on this phenomena of using physically confining metaphors to produce comfort when referring to a threatening entity?
— Julian Assange 🔹 (@JulianAssange) August 22, 2017
THREATENING ENTITY
Man, for journalists just about every god damn thing on the internet is a threatening entity aight
Self-comforting by talking about Putin being short is surely an equivalent. I'm 6'2 (188cm) yet the cupboard snowflakes always avoid 'tall'.
— Julian Assange 🔹 (@JulianAssange) August 22, 2017
I AM POWERFUL LIKE PUTIN BUT ALSO TALLER
Constant references to Trump's "tiny hands" are another pervasive example of reducing psychological threat through scale distortion.

Hashtag scale distortion.
Assange lives at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. He initially wound up there in 2012 while seeking asylum from Swedish government attempts to extradite him on charges of rape. Afraid that he'd be arrested if he stepped back into the United Kingdom, he just sat down at the embassy and has been there ever since. Swedish officials dropped the rape charges earlier this year, but United Kingdom officials may still arrest him for violating his bail, and he's afraid the United States might try to extradite him for allegedly assisting the Russian government in an effort to tamper with the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
So the embassy -- a space with fancy curtains and space for computers and paperwork that is not a cupboard or a basement -- is still his home, and will be for the foreseeable future.
