You didn’t answer my question.

These are preventable deaths period.

I think another factor in these deaths is how most parents are working harder and longer just to stay afloat and the LACK OF SUBSIDIZED/FREE CHILD CARE IN THE US. In this case and one of the situations in the WaPo article, the parent wasn’t just responsible for one drop off, but two. Once for the toddler/child and a…

This would never happen to me.

I remember one morning with my youngest I was so damn tired. Just exhausted. He was about 6 months old. Maybe a little older? I was on autopilot and I was just driving to work. I was about a block away from the office and he made a cooing noise - a gurgle or something - after having been super quiet the whole way to…

Have you read the WaPo article that’s linked in the article?

The so-called “Magic Bus,” an abandoned Fairbanks City Transit bus parked along the Stampede Trail near Denali National Park in Healy, Alaska, is where hitchhiker Christopher McCandless famously used as shelter for four months, before his body was found dead of starvation.

Well to be fair, there wasn’t a black man involved. 

Imo these studies* fail to control for people living in giant fucking cities. Like, sure yeah, smile and nod in smaller situations where you’re a less surrounded by abject strangers and when the smiles and nods aren’t made infinite by the hordes. Smiling and nodding in a massive city feels so RISKY though. Phones…

Same.

I appreciate you lifting the curtain on this beef.

Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee wrote an amazing Inhumans story for the Marvel Knights line that holds up really well IMO.

I don’t need her to be a leftist dream, I need her to be better than Mitch. It’s a pretty low bar. Campaigning in a way that talks to voters she needs to win over, conservatives who have probably voted red their whole lives (or voted southern democrat when that was still a thing) is smart. 

Its ok to offend racists. Fuck them. Why would you worry about offending them?

“Whatever stance we take officially, some group of people are going to be upset with us”

It’s a horrible word and I try to only deploy it when the target is an Englishman (and something of a cunt). In case you missed it, his Twitter history shed’s some light on his cuntdom.

Apparently the English aren’t known for their sense of humor, because there are multiple *very serious* responses to what was obviously a joke...

Or like how in America bananas are seen as nourishment while in England they are viewed as aerial projectiles to be hurled at black players?

Ah yes, the country that declares the Men’s World Cup trophy (created by a Frenchman and awarded by an organization based in Switzerland) is “coming home” anytime they string a couple of victories together is schooling us on arrogance. Got it.

Guillermo Del Toro made two incredible Hellboy movies that still hold up pretty damn well.
