“I got sent the live link by someone, and when I saw the title of the link it didn’t cross my mind that it was something that was currently(ish) happening. Watched five seconds of the coldest video footage I’d ever seen.”

Me, to another friend who brought up the terrorist’s manifesto before I’d had a chance to see the news:
“Wait, is this about a new shooting or a past shooting? Also, the fact that I have to ask that question means we live in the worst timeline.”
Remember how WUNO was a dumb fucking thing exactly this time last year?
Me, last year:
“So, people who support WUNO, tell me: Which six year old was responsible for being nicer to Adam Lanza so he wouldn’t kill 20 first graders?”
Can’t wait for that conversation to start again.
