Several
Like I imagine a great many people I've spent the last few weeks admiring the Parkland teenagers and the way they refuse to let the massacre at their high school be followed by the usual resounding nothing (other than "thoughts and prayers", and "it's too early", of course). The lunacy of the US gun laws has never failed to baffle and infuriate me for decades, specially since it's gotten worse, not better, at nearly every turn. Which is why I found this article on the NRA lobbyist behind Floriday's gun policy - which was subsequently adopted in at least two dozen US states - both very informative and deeply disturbing. It explains the precise why and wherefores, so take a deep breath and read.
Meanwhile, the Tories continuing to demonstrate delusion and incompetence on Brexit - save the occasional John Major, and if you'd told me in the 80s that John Major would turn out to be the embodiment of sanity and common sense in the Conservative Party... - but that particular lunacy at least doesn't come with regular mass slaughter (yet). Still, this article says it all.
Since the real world continues to make so little sense, it's always a relief to turn to fiction. I was happy to see that
ssrconfidential will be running again this year, bringing us Agent Carter stories: this is the post with the time table.
