Also, it's not really a nice sentiment, but I am taking vicious satisfaction in the fact that this kid is living out these hours knowing the older brother he (reportedly) idolized is dead in the street.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
If you read my story about my morning - fairly amusing, considering all the other things that are going on - you'll see that I was sad Starbucks doesn't offer Irish coffee.
Obviously, this will be the first franchise on Buffista Island - Boozebucks?

And it wasn't even Onerous Task Day or anything.
I think this has been Onerous Week. Accomplishing any tasks this week should earn a HUGE gold star.

Librarian Warlord
Well, that was exciting. We were evacuated because of a suspicious package, and stood around outside until the police showed up. eta: we're back inside now - it was harmless.
While we were out there, another librarian said that one of her neighbors just donated his house to the local firehouse so they could burn it down for training purposes (he was rebuilding anyway).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The Internet-famous picture of a little girl eerily smiling in front of a burning house? Yeah, that was a practice burn by the local FD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Swear to dog, Jesse, I just almost posted "is it too early for wine?"
You're two and three hours ahead of me, so I say go for it.
Also, I feel bad for the kid--maybe it's being an oldest but I feel like his brother probably dragged him into it/warped him.

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

Has the situation resolved itself?

Cool. The last time I picked someone up at the Syracuse airport they were doing a pretend plane crash thing with emergency vehicles and victims. And tons of flashing signs letting people know it was fake. It was fascinating.
