Don't know how Glasgow city centre sustains another blow like this. The Egyptian Halls on Union Street - which had been scaffolded for decades and become this horrendously cursed bit full of, ironically, weird vape shops - had been slated for renovation.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
