One more. My first marriage was a bit of a disaster, and there were a couple of hints at the start that it was not all going to be rocking chairs and holding hands.

God, I love Jezebel - this amazing safe place is the only thing keeping me sane as American democracy sinks slowly to its knees and takes a big steaming dump in the middle of the street while the world looks on in fascinated horror.

No, but they did all just listen to Trump tell 60 million people in a televised debate that what they went through wasn’t real. Sometimes push comes to shove, and people have enough of the lies.

it should be possible to star perfection more than once.

Why does this not have all the stars in the sky?

Just me? No?

Umm, sir? I couldn’t help but notice that your sense of entitlement and lack of personal moral compass is showing. You might want to do something about that. #theywontsellittomethereforeicanstealit

Because commitment to a political ideals is not the same as understanding an audience or even the fundamentals of entertainment, which Fox News understand better than anyone else. And their ratings reflect that.

Same underlying reason Al Jazeera USA shut down. Fox News understand intuitively that audiences don’t want balanced nuance or to have to think, they simply want their world belief systems reinforced - and of course that rates well.

Yup. Most Kiwis that I know love Obama, and he won a great deal of respect for America after Bush, Cheney et al wiped their collective ass with the genuine horror, empathy and sympathy that resulted from 9/11.

Well, I put the same question to you. If that was the case, and “they” fabricated evidence, why would they not include the very piece of evidence that would seem utterly conclusive, as opposed to leaving it off and creating even more suspicion? Besides, the aircraft diverted and flew for some hours in response to a…

Wait, you mean that a maintenance engineer completing some paperwork or an office admin transcribing handwritten notes making a mistake is more likely than an aircraft being hijacked and flown to a secret military base to take part in a multi national conspiracy to indict the Russian government in the shoot down of…

Think about what you’re saying. If there was a conspiracy, the point of the flaperon is to ‘prove’ that the aircraft crashed. Why would they remove or not replicate the very thing that would seem utterly conclusive?

OFFS. If this was a conspiracy to hide MH370 by creating and planting fake ‘proof’ of a crash, the ONE THING you’d do is make sure the ID plate was present. But no, this supposed international conspiracy is sophisticated enough to create a B777 flaperon with the correctly stencilled part number and submerge it to grow…

I’d like to see that report. I have a litte familiarity with aircraft tracking systems and my understanding is that it wasn’t turned off, rather that particular service was never subscribed to in the first place by the airline.

When it doesn’t go to plan:

‘Filed to: THIS IS BAT-SHIT INSANE.’

I was first introduced to aeros when I was 17, and have loved them ever since (now on the upside of 50). If your pilot isn’t an idiot, it’s pure joy, regardless of how old or jaded you may be. In fact, it’s one of the few ways thats guaranteed to make me less jaded (or feel young again). Want to feel weightless, like…

The Car. 1977. Saw it when I was a kid. Gave me nightmares - and caused me real terror late one night with my family on a lonely country road when a car started following us. I couldn’t tell my parents why I was so freaked out, because I had snuck out to see the movie after being forbidden to go.

“If you look at a photo taken straight onto the Eshima Ohashi bridge in Japan with a very long lens that foreshortens it to make it look like a ridiculously steep incline, it looks more like a roller coaster than a road for cars to drive on. I mean, come on, would you want to drive on this photo?”
