And now they’re claiming he had a manifesto?

I think Cindy referred to it as a “minifesto.” Three pages.

Under the Desk News had some good in-depth reporting which laid out a few more motives.

I certainly don’t think murder is a good solution to this systemic problem. And I’ll note that a New York jury found a man not guilty of killing a mentally ill homeless man in a choke hold.

I am willing to bet that this case definitely goes to court and discovery will be a PR nightmare for UHC.

I went back to work today. Man, I missed being at work! My first request was to help a five year old find mermaid books. I have the bestest job!

Oh, that is awesome! Mermaids almost never come up at my job.

A few years ago I found a mermaid coloring book where there were disabled mer-people, gay mer-people, and mer-people of color.

One of the ones I gave her was Mabel: A Mermaid’s Fable about a mermaid who was sad she didn’t have a mustache like the other mermaids.

So cute! [link]

Jen! The ACPT?? [link] It's in Stamford, CT. I could go to that again! (I only went when it was in NYC for a while

Ooh, that’s an hour and a half or so from me, count me in!

Suhweet! It looks like a mini F2F in CT in our future.

Went to a new eye doctor yesterday. He was a lovely person. He did however tell me that new glasses aren't going to make me see any better and that I need cataract surgery on the right eye. He also said that when I had that done I would be so shocked I would want it done right away on the left one too, which isn't as bad. He said he couldn't say bad things about an eye doctor but could say he wasn't familiar with someone if he didn't recommend them. He gave me the names of his 4 favorites and all of them are on my insurance. I called him back this morning and he said he would see who could get me in first. So, frankly I dread it because I am a major chicken, but I do miss being able to see stuff. I can read fine, but my far vision is awful.

Today bone density to continue doing all the things.

Go Laura taking care of yourself!!

My friend finally got here yesterday, so it feels much more normal here now that it’s not just me and one other girl rattling around in this house—there’s now four of us and two dogs.

It's unlikely the new CEO will make the company significantly less evil.

I also don't want people getting shot on NYC sidewalks, just in general. That's not the version of NYC I want to live in.

So, frankly I dread it

Laura, my DH had cataract surgeries this past year. He is a major chicken and avoids any anesthesia. He finally signed up for one eye when they assured him he didn't have to go totally under, and his vision got to a point where it was really affecting his life. (our life) Just as your doctor predicted, he went home from the first surgery and immediately signed up for the second, sorry that he didn't just do both eyes because it was amazing to see again, and see color again.

Hi, all. Been a while. You changed your hair?!?

Just read your thing, erika. One of the better takes I've read in the last few days!

Yeah, that's what I keep coming back to. The resonating anger from the public is certainly interesting, though.

My dad just had cataract surgery, like in the last 6 weeks I think? One eye and then the other a couple weeks later. The thing he liked least was the regimen of what drops had to go in his eyes before and after (he got them wrong after the first surgery) and the restrictions on what he could do while he was recovering - the actual surgery was apparently a breeze and he's been happy with the results so far. The exciting part for him is that he's supposed to have improvement in both his near and far vision as his brain gets used to the new capabilities added to his eyes.

Hi Sparky1! It is a long time since I changed my hair, sigh.
