* There were two attacks in Copenhagen, one at a free speech debate at a cultural center and one at a synagogue during a bar mitzvah. The shooter had a history of violence and had only been out of jail a couple of weeks. A documentary filmmaker called Finn Norgaard was killed in the first attack. The second victim was Dan Uzan, who was guarding the synagogue. The police have shot the cowardly gunman.

* Glee 6.7 "Transitioning:"
1. As vile as the VA kids are, it is nice to see someone hating Shue as much as I hate Shue, and hating him rapping as much as i hate him rapping.
2. Unique is a goddess and I wanted more of her.
3. That thing where they are talking about how what Rachel is going through is the bigest transition anyone can go through and someone brings up Coach Beiste and the response is "This is all about Rachel? Fucking brilliant. I love when the show calls itself out.
4. I loved the referencing of the basement party from the alcohol episode and the way it echoes here in the Klaine continuity. Surprisingly subtle for Glee.
5. I got excited about the Mercedes/Roderick duet because I was pretty sure they would sound amazing together. "All about That Bass" was a clever choice.
6. Blaine's heart eyes at Kurt. Kurt's expression as Blaine leaves and the first cords of "Time After Time" rolling over the end of that scene. This show is so for Xers. That song means a lot to me for reasons to deep and wide ever to explain and it was so RIGHT both for Rachel and Klaine.
7. Karofsky has turned into the most amazing grown up. Damn, that scene was well done. I teared up for real and was so proud of him and aching for him at the same time.
8. I had assumed Emma was dead. I am glad that she is not, though she still deserves way better than Shue.
9. The Rachel and sam scene was also surprisingly subtle for Glee and really good on a lot of levels.
10. Thank you for giving me a Sheldon/Unique scene and for not homogenizing trans experience.
11. Thank you for the trans choir because there is so much about trans voices that that says without saying.
