Moderating:
Not directed at anyone specific - this thread is a weird hybrid of P&E and Breaking News. It’s going to be very easy for us to go off-topic, express our feelings in extreme ways, or go far into gallows humor. I am taking this moment to remind everyone of that, and ask we all keep it in the back of our minds while posting, so that we all get the most out of the thread. And if you have to express Pit-like feelings, there is a current Pit thread on the same events.
