A Horrific Day in Boston – Death and Mayhem at the Marathon

Today was a horrifying day for Boston – our annual celebration of pride, unity, and Spring put on hold for bombs and ambulances. My thoughts are with those who have been injured or killed.

We have these strange interplays of increased safety and increased risk at large public events – it seems to me there is more we could do to shift the equilibrium towards safety in numbers. Even in the face of anonymous attacks from a distance.

But today we mourn.




Really glad you’re safe, SJ, and hope your friends and loved ones in the area are as well.
