Meteorologist Chris Gloninger will step down from Iowa station KCCI partly because of PTSD he suffered after receiving threats related to his climate coverage.

Who had this on their bingo card?

There was this one pretty cool dude a couple thousand years ago…

To (badly) paraphrase Good Omens:

“What did he do to make them so angry?”

“Told them to be kind to each other.”

Yeah he was right about that, but what many people don’t get is that kindness in and of itself is actually all you need. All that other baggage that comes with the dude you’re talking about has caused a lot of trouble and isn’t necessary for kindness to work its magic. Love is all you need, to quote someone else who wasn’t always on the money, but he was right about that.

Yeah, can’t say I think much of his fan club…

Yeah, Lennon fans can be annoying.
