Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Chechnya? I would not have guessed that in the US. Of course, it might not be all nationalism-crazy, just plain crazy.

I love NPR for many things. Breaking news is not one of them.

I think they are doing a pretty good job on NPR!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm listening to local news, which is getting super-local with where the cops are.

Yeah, hell of a wakeup here. The MBTA is totally shut down. No order to stay inside here in Somerville.

My roommate probably knows the MIT officer -- it's a small force so she's interacted whenever there's a library problem that they have to come out for.

Also, my mother just pointed out that we went by MIT at about 10:30 last night. So that explains the emergency vehicles we kept pulling over for.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Please, please, stay safe, people.

USA Today is reporting that the at-large suspect is 19, graduated from a Cambridge high school in 2011, and the younger brother of the suspect who died. Nineteen. A high school wrestler. Just a stupid, childish, stupid kid, who murdered another kid and two other people and blew limbs off another hundred or so. Fucking hell.

A Russian news agency posted a copy of the suspect's page from VKontakte, a Russian Facebook clone: [link]

Yikes, Jesse!

Ok, so whenever I've tuned in (between shower and hairdryer) Dina Temple-Raston(?) IS REALLY freaking shoving the al-quaeda thing. It is rather unseemly and speculative and UHG.
