• an alleged fatal-attraction trio in Oberhausen, Germany (two dead, one reportedly in a critical condition) »
• the cadres who fear their own people (probably including their self-made nationalist mob) »
• a flight attendant to whom rules still mean something »
• in short, …

A World of Pain

… to all those who live (or died) in a world of pain.

Fortunately, we have the internet. Most people who are losing it still lose it there.
