Thank you for this gentle, loving reminiscence. Your memories are a fine tapestry, and I’m grateful for the weaver.

Its never too soon to write your memories, your history. I’m so grateful to have happened upon your story. Men migrating for work and dying without family knowing was sadly common. Though we personally lost more mothers, due to rural isolation, difficult climate and dangers of childbirth. The children of the dead…

This was incredible, thank you! It made me wonder about similar dynamics in indigenous and Latinx communities.

This was beautifully written, thank you. I’m also a Lubbock native, and it sounds like you and I may be around the same age.

I was making this exact point in the comments on the original article. People read the word “yacht” and immediately think super-rich - it never occurs to them that “normal” people might ever be on a boat, let alone own one. At least 2 of the yachts that were attacked were leased - meaning the people on board weren’t…

All IMO:

100%

You may remember me from such films as "Man vs. Nature: The Road to Victory". 

That happened in my area. Affordable public course, playable for $10 afternoons bulldozed to build houses and businesses. A ‘replacement’ was built. $100+ a round, $50ish for afternoon play.

“Orca’s are wild animals, so to call them “sadistic jerks” or to assume they are “seeking revenge against humans” are both equally asinine efforts at projecting our motives onto another species. It’s just fucking stupid.”

That seems to be exactly what the Yale writer is saying. His point was that using human frameworks to describe wild animals is pointless, but we know that Jezebel writers don’t have to read an article to summarize it!

*ahem* SIMPSONS DID IT!!!

I worked for years as a freelance designer on Barbie, in the massive Mattel design studio. It’s an amazing place, chock full of very creative people. I remember one wall that was completely covered with hundreds of individual Barbie legs of every conceivable shape, construction, articulation and color. I guess one of…

This movie is the ultimate cash grab/cultivated media story and I’m fascinated to see how it does financially.

If they believed him, they’d show when she leaves the bathroom too. funny that they left that part out. 

So, pretty much the exact scenario many of us hypothesized in the previous article. Something probably happened, but no NBA/Heat security were involved, and it was his own security that blocked the door.

Seems like consent is something he struggles with. 

In an unfortunate twist all around, the updates on this case and the video don’t really do the woman any favors. The story has already changed from security dragged this woman to the bathroom to Conor walked the woman to the bathroom, and she went willingly because she thought they were going to his hotel room.
