Holy shit. Got off the plane and into my rental and the radio was all Over this. It's just horrible to me. My roommate was all excited to watch this morning ( she's a total running groupe) but wtf. Who blows up a marathon??? Uncalled her and he said Peter Sagal (?) from NPR tweeted that he came through with his pace group at like, 4:04 and they were only just past where it happened. Madness. I really hope it's by terrorism--that somebody hated their ex or something else awful but less repeatable. Jesus.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not that LeN is the official measurement, but if she doesn't know there's a Patriot Day (my ignorance doesn't count) how good a day is it for non-Americans to make a point?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
vw posted on FB that an unexploded device was found under the grandstand at the finish. I've got no words here.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Huh. I actually wasn't thinking that it might be, until I read your post. I was thinking domestic wingnut. Can't say why, really.
My thought too. Tax day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Another suspicious package was reported near the Harvard #MBTA station
Not to be whatever, but I'm sure there's always a suspicious package near the Harvard T stop -- a ton of people hang out there and sell stuff and etc. There's always a leftover box.

Getting confirmation on the two new bombs they found, so that's five all together.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
Ben came home in tears -- two of his friends are up there. Apparently my SiL's running friend is also there, and they haven't heard from her.
