I am reminded of the rhyme teaching how to multiply signed (+ and -) numbers:When good things happen to good people, that’s GOOD;When good things happen to bad people, that’s BAD;When bad things happen to good people, that’s BAD, andWhen bad things happen to bad people, that’s GOOD!Math mit schadenfreude.

I thought there was some kind of divine promise with rainbows and all. If LU gets washed away I bet we get a nice big pretty celebratory “fuck you” rainbow afterwards from the sky boogeyman.

I don't see an Open Thread. So I'm just dropping this here. It's bad news for human-cyber relations.
