    Yeah, I’ll admit to a small amount of schadenfreude at the news, but that video.

    Jesus.

    He was still a massive piece of shit, but that’s a rough way to go.

        That’s where I’m trying to land with it: I did not like that man and hated the viewpoints he advocated, but with his death there’s a wife missing her husband, children their father, parents their son, and I can feel bad for them around this situation.

        I’m reaching for empathy- if there’s a hope of getting through this current mess with our souls intact it’ll be by reaching for empathy, even when it’s hard.

          Doing the hard thing when it’s the hardest thing to do is how we move out of the primitive brain and into higher functioning

      Is it? It’s probably not painless, but it is a fast and not particularly painful death. Too good for him I’d say.
