The words that might have appeared here aren’t here. Instead there are these words. But there will be more words to come.
Oh by the way, the shocking news of the morning is that the iconic musician David Bowie has passed away after an 18-month battle with cancer. He was 69 years old. May he rest in peace.
I hope everyone had at least a tolerable weekend. Here’s a fresh open thread to tide you over–replacing the previous open thread with its 8,700+ comments–until I get around to finishing the words that were supposed to be here. Happy Monday, folks.
