What really gets me about this is there is a line in the book and the movie that says something like “What in important in life is that which we share”. It’s really affecting knowing it was written by someone who was dying alone, and it seems like the right way to celebrate McCandless is to take pleasure in friends…

I don’t get romancing the horrible and slow death of a confused young man, much less risking my own life and limbs to get to the spot and...what? Commune? Take some selfies?

If I were the Denali park rangers or even lived in Alaska I’d be demanding this deathtrap be hauled out of there. This woman is not the first person who’s died trying to reach it, and the state of Alaska has to shell out for all the search and rescue efforts. 

The Who might have, though.

I know his family sponsored or somehow made sure that the bus had supplies for other hikers in case they found themselves in distress, but I don’t know if they still do or if others have kept up the practice. So reading the headline I thought maybe she was trying to reach the bus for that purpose. But as a damn…

I really don’t like that nickname for the bus because Ms. Frizzle wouldn’t have let this shit go down.

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.

I would definitely vote Warren on that basis alone. 

literally this. I’m way too trans for this classic pandering bullshit: saying shit to a (my) community you think will go over well, but not knowing it well enough and therefore putting your ENTIRE foot in your mouth by being problematic and ignorant. not a good looque. 

Me me me! ... is hoping for that ticket!

We can put Ryan in charge of explaining everything to people in Ohio, or something.

I found Castro pretty impressive across the board tonight. This answer was spot on, as was his answer on immigration.

Can someone tell him that trans women aren’t the ones with uteri? That’s trans men.

The only thing she could have done differently is kill this god damned piece of shit as soon as she met him.

I think of it more as the Texas of California.  Not enough Alligators and bath salts to be Florida.

This would have been prevented had the baby been allowed to carry her own gun.

Lost in the horror of other specifics of this incident is the way it’s casually noted that Echartea just happened to have a gun on his person.

It’s something that can reveal who they may really be. An automatic defensive gesture that denotes some guilt on their part for some shit they’ve done in the past or are currently doing.
