Meanwhile, In the Rest of the World


There has been rioting in Greece for days now, following the shooting death of a teen by police. According to the BBC, hundreds of buildings have been torched, dozens injured, and the parliament has been basically under siege since Saturday.

My friend in Athens says:

"And so the city is literally up in flames and they are burning cars and all manner of things one block from our apartment. And so. It is dramatic and greatly distressing...I hate this country, tonight."
