Thanks for that. I’m no better, I have to be up in six hours but I’m sitting here watching CNN on the T.V., and refreshing various webpages.

There is a real time system called ACARS. This aircraft might have had it. The problem is, you, I , and everyone else on the internet wants to know what, where, and how, RIGHT NOW. The people who are dealing with the search and recovery probably have a lot more information than they are releasing.

I am going to believe there was a water landing and the seat cushions are being used as flotation devices until proven otherwise. I just really want to see that happen once.

I live in Asia and on trips that have a lot of flights (like Hong Kong to Manila) it’s not usual to find a nearly empty plane in one direction but the return plane totally packed. All to do with timing and which direction people typically fly on specific days (one way on Friday night, other way Sunday night for…

So, this may be a dumb question, but for the families of people who are on these flights that disappear - do they have to petition for the family member to be declared dead? Is there a certain time (obviously not for this one, but the one that disappeared over the Indian Ocean, for example) that has to pass before the…

It used to seem so normal to watch women push laying down but after birthing my two kiddos just want to scream “SQUAT WOMAN! Babies come out easier if you point your vag down instead of out!!”

He wanted to keep it PG? There is nothing rated R or X about giving birth. There’s nothing wrong or sexually inappropriate about a body giving birth. This is like people talking about breastfeeding in public being sexual. I really dislike that.

Kali Kanongata’a, the 36-year-old videographer, said he thought he was filming his wife, Sarah Dome, give birth to send to a few family members who lived far away.

THIS! People don’t believe that mental health is a health care issue. Plus, this strikes most often between weeks one-four postpartum, and most women aren’t seen by their doctors again until week six. That makes it harder to get help too (assuming you even HAVE the means to get this care). It sounds like she was also…

I agree with you and I don’t mean to be overly critical; he was trying to give the world information it wanted about her. The language just struck me as being incongruous with how she must actually be feeling and coping. It just seems to say something about the hierarchy we put on emotional trauma versus physical…

Yeah I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt, considering he did say she was traumatized. “Otherwise fine” probably means “No broken limbs, obvious physical wounds, not dehydrated, not starved etc” he knows she’s not “fine”

I hate how (as far as I know) we don’t get any news in the US about how your prior president botched this whole thing. We just got (as far as I know) loads and loads of “Bring Back Our Girls” rhetoric without any sort of deeper dive into the government’s mishandling of this entire situation.

I think, perhaps, he meant as in being physically fine. He did say she was traumatized...

Eric Underwood. Good lord thank you for introducing me to him.

You also used to be able to tell the demographics of the neighborhood by whether the Wal-Mart sold Palmer’s Cocoa Butter.

Our government is inept at best and should not be trusted with the power to kill people.

Yeah, I was gonna say that, but then I realized this is probably all about liability and not at all about human rights.

Or it could be possible that the right is shit and so are the Clintons.

No no no, he’s just the living embodiment of hate.

“She is the living embodiment of everything people hate about politics.”
