I'm trying to remain optimistic about the world and everything—I really, REALLY am.

I woke up to news that the U.S. had killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani during an airstrike near Baghdad’s airport today. I could be cheeky and embed the video for R.E.M.'s "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" and be all ha-ha isn't Trump a card for assassinating a foreign military leader gee whiz I wonder if he's playing interdimensional chess and this is just another masterful gambit to help keep Americans focused on anything other than everything else he's doing while in office but JESUS KEERIST this is insane and haven't we all just had enough of this all already?

Sigh.
