I dunno, his failings are something that I see discussed quite often. Holding that discussion for one day after the man’s passing seems a simple enough courtesy.

There’s no need to pretend anything.

Don’t forget “Prominent Crossword Puzzle Answer.”

Eli Wiesel lived long and prospered, dedicating his life’s work to sharing the truth about what he had seen. And thus he won the ultimate victory over the murderers of his family, as well as over the deniers who claimed that the millions who were murdered at the camps never even existed.

So relevant today. RIP.

EMTs do this all the time. Three joked and laughed and passed a phone back and forth over a friend’s dying but still conscious body

She didn’t call a Black woman a nigger because her son died. She did it because she thinks we’re subhuman.

I can almost guarantee that before camera was rolling she and the camera man were casually chatting as they drove up. Their lives weren’t just shattered, they needed to have reporter faces on for the segment but were otherwise going about a day at the office.

I understand that her son was dead and obviously she was grieving, and people often don’t like to see reporters at the scenes of tragedy, feeling like they’re vultures. I’ve actually held back a screaming friend when reporters showed up after our friends died.

I’m sure I’d be distraught if a family member had been shot. I might be angry at reporters calmly treating my anguish as a “story.” I’m certain I wouldn’t hurl slurs.

I don’t think it’s the money she’s actually frustrated about. It’s the lack of diagnosis. You pay someone to help you and they take your money but don’t help you.

Paris Jackson has amazingly shitty health insurance for someone with an eight-figure net worth. I mean, my premium is $1050/month for a family of four, which is terrifying when you think about it, but I only have a $750 deductible and my urgent care copay is $35.

Yeah except I went to one of these concerts and waved my hands like I didn’t care.

So in the end, the bad person with a gun was stopped by a good person with a gun...who is a trained law-enforcement professional whose actions are subject to scrutiny as standard procedure as opposed to some doofus with 400 bucks and tickets to a gun show.

Bouchard continued, “Yeah, I don’t know. Nike didn’t give me any other talking points for this dumb dress shirt thing. It’s easy to move around in, which I love — I hate tennis clothes that bind my arms to my sides or hobble my legs. I think the dress is really nice, and I also think it was nice of Nike, my corporate…

So I am going to make a comment about gender here, which will probably set some people off, but here it is:

That’s not the most precise way of navigating; you also have to either know the sky at your latitude really well, or spend a lot of time observing the sun’s path, and you have to hope it’s not overcast, and even then it’s not nearly as accurate as a compass.

“lady journalist”

It reminds me a lot of the work that Nellie Bly did and how it was received. This is a woman who faked insanity to investigate a mental institution at the turn of the century at grave personal risk and was dismissed as “stunt journalism." Bly easily could have gotten herself killed or worse to provide information of a…

You do realize that investigative journalism has a long history and tradition of first-hand narrative-style writings, right? Nellie Bly was doing it a century ago?
