I dunno. When it comes to freely dropped batteries, I thought Philadelphia was the place to be flung to?
Which is horrifying. But I hold hope that the second Enlightenment is not far off. We need to keep pushing and fighting, and we will get there. Imagine what it will look like.
An old classic:

I’M SO GLAD THE CHEAT IS NOT DEAD
LIGHT SWITCH RAVE!
I’m pretty much happy anytime anyone remembers Strong Bad and Homestar.
It’s like saying “bless you” after someone sneezes. Another shooting? “thoughts and prayers.”
I’m sure thoughts and prayers will be enough to help these poor kids overcome the lifetime of trauma this incident will bring.
