RIP to all the victims of shootings over the previous few weeks, and may people stop fucking shooting people, because that’s not fucking cool. Also RIP to Neil Armstrong and Jerry Nelson, the voice of Count von Count on Sesame Street. It has been a bad week for awesome people.

(Obviously speaking to trends not individuals; I can think of plenty of guys who graduated from a segregated school and turned out okay)
