Misty destroyed the black box, they’re in the middle of the Canadian wilderness, and, if I’m not mistaken, one of the pilots mentions flying farther north than originally planned in order to avoid a storm, so it’s possible that they are off of their original flight path. Rescue teams are going to have a search radius…

yah it’s just a private jet, and they are in the middle of the Canadian wilderness. As a Canadian here they may as well be lost in the ocean once you are out there.

Actually, rare fresh meat has plenty of vitamin C, especially organ meats - it’s preserved meats that don’t have any vit C left, and the more it’s cooked the less fresh meat will have. Connective tissues between bones have lots too, so assuming the girls are making stew with the bones, they’ll be fine. It’s how the…

Regarding scurvy, it’s a real issue unless they know about the nutritive value of pine needles. Certain common varieties of pine needles can be brewed into a tea that actually has more vitamin C than oranges (plus vitamin A). Since Akilah has demonstrated knowledge of edible plants from her scouting days, I’d wager…

“We’re all from Staten Island.”

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. 

This is part of why I support Mayor Pete. I’ve read a LOT of comment threads on multiple different platforms and the consistent theme I see in Pete’s is people who’ve claimed to never have voted democrat saying he made them think about something differently, or that they’d vote for him, or even just saying they could…

This is a huge problem. You want to exlude a race and sex type of candidate? This is seriously just racism. It’s unbelievable that we should entertain this type of thinking. Anyone should be able to run. This is just disgusting.

“granting statehood to PR, DC, abolishing electoral college”

Where Sanders loses me is in his explanation for getting his stuff passed, which might as well be “magic happens.” He seems to think he can just give speeches and persuade everyone, and the Republicans will just roll over. It’s almost as bad as Biden’s ridiculous notion that Republicans will suddenly revert back to…

I’d argue that a mayor in a strong-mayor system like South Bend’s has as much relevant experience as a senator, many of whom never manage more than a small team of people over their careers. It may be a useful step, but it’s hardly a *necessary* one.

I generally like Nathan’s writing, but this article is a pretty uncharitable hit piece. Essentially, it boils down to “I don’t like Pete because he isn’t a socialist.” Dragging him over McKinsey? Really? I interned for McKinsey during grad school and worked on similar issues that Pete did, and I can tell you that the…

I’ve no idea which Democrat I’m going to vote for. But my nearly 70 year old Republican father stunned me with this comment, “I really like Mayor Pete.”

Can we just make all of these white guys drop out?

as a resident of south bend i think he’s done a great job of modernizing the city by attracting tech industries and revitalizing downtown. south bend is so much different than it was 10 years ago, and the trajectory is pointing up. i find it interesting that so many people, many of whom probably have never even…

This is false. Under is plan around 600 vacant and abandoned houses were demolished and around 400 houses were repaired. No resident of these neighborhoods were pushed out of their houses. Homes are very affordable in South Bend. Too affordable even ($30,000 -$40,000 for some and mansions cost like $80,000). Banks…

despite the fact that he has accomplished almost nothing.

No, it doesn’t mean everything, but the 14,000 years he’s been acting haven’t exactly produced a ton of people claiming that Mark Harmon is some sort of sociopath (besides Perrette, that is). 

He pulled the kid of a friend of my sister’s out of a burning car (at considerable danger to himself), so I’ve always had a soft spot for him.

Multiple assaults in the workplace. Multiple assaults by homeless persons. Restraining orders against former partners. How unlucky can one person be?
