Every once in a while I spare a moment of thought for Barron Trump

[conuly]

It's certainly too late for his really adult siblings to escape that toxic hellscape that is their family, and even if they did they're not likely to become substantially better people as a result, but he's E's age, I think. So every once in a while I remember I'm rooting for him to just get out. Young adults can change a lot the first few years of being adults.

I've wondered about him as well.

subway maps

I like the geographic accessible stations map, and I like that they have a set of geographic maps under the new "subway diagrams."

That new map/diagram looks familiar, because it's similar to the 1972 map they were using when I started taking the subway to school.

Given that Barron was the one who gave the campaign a list of right wing podcasts to appear on, I suspect it's going to take something massive to deradicalize him.

[conuly]

I know! I just... I want to hope that he can at least escape the vortex.

You are a very good person.

[conuly]

I mean, it's in everybody's best interests, not just his.

[archersangel]

if half of the things i've heard about him are true, it may be too late. unless he gets a lot of therapy/treatment.

[conuly]

I like to believe it's not actually too late for almost anybody, especially very young people. (Though if you're in a relationship with a terrible person it's probably best to act as though it is and they won't change.)
