Dude, why choose to hate on our moment of joy? Yes it's meaningless, but also - we're the ones who won! The last time the Knicks won an NBA title (had to double check) was over a decade before I was born. Who do you root for anyway?

That's great to hear. Don't forget about CUNY too. New York's (state and city) public higher ed systems are under-appreciated for all the good they do on these counts.

Same.

For the moment, I'll say I'm looking forward to lighting th candles tonight, to bring a little more light into what is an increasingly very dark world.

For the victims and their families and those who loved them, I'm heartbroken. May their memories be for a blessing.

And what a normal activity - an Econ 101 recitation session - to be disrupted by this violence. Reading the account of the TA is just chilling. I could go on.

Since Columbine, growing up and living in the US has involved watching one mass shooting after the next. But this one hits closer to home than usual seeing first responders walking past signs and in spaces I've walked past.

My email feed literally shows updates on one right after the other.

Yes - Zack, precisely. Same.
