We don't yet know much about what was going on with Claudio Neves Valente, the Brown and MIT gunman, and we may well never. But this tragic case reminds me how the pressures of academic life, often starting in grad school, can sometimes push people past a breaking point.
We don't always do a great job of taking care of our colleagues, or of recognizing when they need our help and understanding.
The thing to remember when Marjorie Taylor Greene says the occasional sensible or decent thing these days is that she's demonstrating that she's been capable of being sensible and decent all along, but was deliberately choosing not to be.
Oof. Providence police have released the person arrested Sunday morning for the Brown shooting, saying he is no longer considered of interest. So the shooter is still at large.
Just to be clear: should I have the terrible misfortune to be killed in a mass shooting, please feel free to politicize the hell out of it. And go ahead and do so immediately. No time will be βtoo soonβ.
@npub1ucvq...5a8g you no doubt saw this story (or other reporting on it) about the hiker rescued via a satellite device after being trapped in quicksand(!).
