Adrienne should just pretend he was a Palestinian kid and she should be able to rest easier.
The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshed, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes. theatln.tc/ZRcsrreK

It’s the middle of winter so shedding several layers off my 3 year old in the restaurant bathroom is completely normal. What was unexpected was finding a one piece swimsuit as her base layer. I am defeated.

Good thread
Took me a bit but I've found the framing to put into words a way to express to the people fretting about the death of the UHC CEO why we just aren't heeding their admonishment:
The social contract stipulates that all life is sacred, and Brian Thompson violated it.
But it's more than that.
