This goes insanely hard @LukeFarritor.

The media is filled with bad people. We know this. Talking about your parents and their jobs (an implicit threat) is trash behavior. But — and I can speak from experience — there is a bright side. I can speak to this from experience:

A few thoughts in no particular order: 1) Most people don't read. They'll see the photo, think it looks cool, and move on. 2) The article for the 1% who will read it is a Rorschach test. Your fans (myself included) see a portrait of a curious, driven, smart, talented guy...

3) Nobody you want to work with in the future will care. If anything, it'll be a vague positive visual memory. 4) In time, I hope you'll look back on it with a kind of pride, as a badge of honor. Not one you wanted or sought out, but one you earned nonetheless...

5) People forget, quickly. There will be a big news story in the next 48 hours and this will slip into the churning river of memory, lost in the aether. 6) Odd as it sounds: had you tried to place such a story, it would have cost you millions of dollars. Makes you look great.

Keep your head up. Lots of folks are rooting for you, and many more than you know will be rooting for you now. Especially me. /fin
