What an interesting timeline we live in.

icons is hosting a friending meme.
++ My thread for the still ongoing holiday love meme 2024.
++ Perhaps it's been such a long devastatingly crapsack of a year for news coverage that I'm in a "this might as well happen too" headspace, but let me tell you I've been incredibly fascinated with the events that have been happening surrounding the United Healthcare CEO shooting, mainly the public reactions in the aftermath and the reports that follow. It's like a surreal movie plot happening in real time, from the carved bullets to the backpack with Monopoly money, the method of how he got away, and recently NYC held a look-alike contest. Seriously, I haven't witnessed anything like this before. What will come out from this? I don't know. But as of right now as it's still ongoing it's been slightly making up for the depressing political outcome from November, that's for sure. Also yes, it goes without saying that while the act itself is bad, considering how shitty the American healthcare system is and how insurance companies are greedy assholes who deny claims constantly and ruin the lives of so many people who are in dire need of medical help, nobody should be surprised this happened or how the people have been reacting to it.
Between this and the failed coup by the president of South Korea (albeit a more serious situation), it's been one interesting last month of the year for news.
