Belgium was hit with a series of terrorist attacks today, similar in nature to those that rocked Paris. While it is perhaps Western-Centric to acknowledge these attacks in a special way and not simultaneously note the daily attacks throughout the Middle East … whatever. You can be right in the big picture – today is still awful.
Here’s the formal statement: fuck those people.
No, that isn’t original or witty or even useful. And there probably won’t be a “je suis Belgium” movement. There should be.
Maybe another writer here will have more to say. For now, I reiterate: fuck you.
We now resume our regular programming of good, bad, and stupid.

These are days where goofing off talking about sports is helpful.
suicide attack in Istanbul a couple days ago (in a place I have been several times), already forgotten as we have this happening today..
makes me thankful for where i live.. also reminds me this can happen anywhere (including where I live) and we have a long road ahead of us.
