Relax Y’All
I completely understand the need to obsess over whatever happened in Butler, PA tonight (color me shocked that something terrible would happen in small town western Pennsylvania…..). But all the rampant speculation, and that very much includes from the media, really doesn’t help here. I would recommend what I am doing, which is turning off the TV (well, I never watch cable news anyway under any circumstances and very much including this one), putting on Sugar’s Copper Blue album, and turning up real loud while doing literally anything else. You will be better off, I promise you. When we actually know something about what happened, then we can talk about it. All of liberal/left Twitter is like THE NAZIS ARE COMING, THIS IS THE WORST THING OF ALL TIME, etc. It’s really unhelpful.
…[Rob] Hey all, I probably don’t need to say this, but I would appreciate if y’all could flag anything that looks like “should have been a better shot” or “political assassinations are good, actually” made in a serious way. There is no place for that kind of commentary on this blog. — Management
