Aidan’s Week

Colorado’s $4 million NRA senator was fast out of the gate with thoughts and prayers.

The Onion keeps its own vigil, repubishing this story yet again.

They left out the part that their Twitz ‘n Prayers are for the mass murders of even more American children.

Those gun company and NRA execs better pray hard that none of my loved ones are ever in a mass shooting.

They may have bought off the Republinazis to cheat the victims and survivors out of justice, but they’re gonna find out what hell feels like real quick.

@nojo: Onion writer. That Onion writer:

“When I wrote this headline, I had no idea it would be applied to the high school a mile from my house.”

Identifying a week as infrastructure week is the Trump equivalent of the guy at the beginning of the horror movie being like “this house is so peaceful.”

@nojo: Is there a way to keep this post as a thumbnail on the top of the page? It was in the top left corner, and I thought about Aidan every time I saw it. (I know they scroll as you add posts.)

And the post about Sandy Hook.

And the post about that sweet child looking for his friend.

I don’t want to forget about these kids when they aren’t in the news. I’m ashamed to admit that I do forget. I’d like to keep them foremost in my mind.

@JNOV: I may have to collect them in a sidebar. Including the one I’m likely writing tonight.

It’s really hard to find new shit to say about the same shit going down. But I can’t pull an Onion, so I’ll have to see what I can dredge up.

@nojo: As I began to try to process this _____ (I don’t have a word for it), I thought of you. I thought of you.

@JNOV: Really, I would have preferred ripping the Midtown Racist, but those pleasant thoughts evaporated in a moment this morning.
