I’d love to get back to the time where being educated or well-read can be seen as a positive thing again.

Well, strictly speaking, even though they are very similar, they are arch-typical of how liberals and, um, let’s say “other” leftists have fought an internecine war against each other since the 1960's, to the moderate Dem’s benefit.

I read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ‘72 by Hunter S Thompson (which is good, if you like HST) a while ago. The one thing that really stuck with me is the Dems were saying the exact same thing 50 years ago and it still does’t work/isn’t true.

I can’t stop crying.

So this is obviously down the list from the dead and injured and their loved ones. But I also feel really badly for Ariana. Her name is forever linked to a tragedy and that can not be easy.
