As someone who witnessed this in real time, I just want to say sorry again that this happened. It's horrifying and awful. It was only as a testament to your professionalism and commitment to your readers that the event even continued at all.
Well this was an absolutely delightful read this morning!

The Luddites weren't anti-progress. They weren't anti-technology. They were pro worker rights. And it's convenient for the tech barons (in any age) to make us believe those are the same thing.
