CHARLES RAFFERTY The Problem with Early Warnings People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres. How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives. Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet.

their situation is awful beyond words and i grieve for them, and with them. their decision to respond to the moment as they've done is powerful. it's leadership of a sort we're so short on

my guess is that a guy like alex pretti responded to terrible circumstances the only way he knew how — with compassion, a desire to help, and a need to seek truth and justice in a sea of lies. and based on his parents' statement, i kinda think he was brought up by people who taught him to do that

Opp i ringa nå, NRK. Dere kan ikke fortsette å outsource analysene av veldokumenterte hendelser til brukerne deres bak et fikenblad av objektiv rapportering eller hva dere vil kalle det. *Dere* skal kontekstualisere det som skjer for *oss*, ikke omvendt. Dere er liksom proffene her. Act like it.
