I think it’s important to note that Pete lives in the basement of the house he bought for his mom, not just “his mom’s basement.”

She ended up getting arrested and was charged with “disrupting police services,” which serves as yet another reminder that this country criminalizes everything, and also that we each have our own definition of what constitutes an emergency.

I would donate a kidney and at least three fingers (both pinkies, right ring finger, left ring finger negotiable) to have Wawas in NYC.

Any attorneys that can weigh in? Is the speed with which this was filed in order to get any damages before the other victims’ families make their claims? Or am I being cynical?

I agree with this. I also think that if someone told her just to a wait a year to sue, she might see that suing the estate is not a good idea (though suing the company obviously is). Right now, she’s not thinking clearly and maybe isn’t receiving good/useful direction.

As the other victims have already been reduced to being nothing more than “and seven others” who died along with Kobe and his daughter, it is unseemly for his wife to be competing with them for whatever monetary damages are available to be claimed.

That seems like a terrible solution to her grief, his whole family (successor/estate/family?) is grieving too, and ruining their lives (financially) doesn’t seem very productive, especially since I’m certain she is far wealthier than they are. I’m sure his operating company has insurance so that seems like a better…

What exactly is she hoping to get out of suing the pilot’s estate? I feel like it’s in poor taste, when you presumably have an enormous fortune, to sue the (presumably significantly less well-off) family of the deceased, not when you’re already suing the employers of the pilot. 

What is the point of that suit? The pilot is dead. There is no one left to punish for bad acts. What is this for?  “Justice”? There is no justice. There will just be money.  

I would actually like to share the BEST thing I’ve ever seen on a plane. I sat in an aisle seat, with middle/window taken by a mother and a kid who had obviously never flown before. He spent the whole flight glued to the window shouting “MOM! LOOK! LOOK AT THE CLOUDS! OH MY GOD! MOM! LOOK AT THE MOUNTAINS! OH MY GOD!”…

Tbh... the bigger people should pay extra. They know they encroach into other people’s seats. It’s not like a subway seat where you pay $2.75 to sit for 30 minutes. It’s a fucking plane.... It’s not like you’re magically ever going to find a plane with larger seats. Every time after your first time flying and you’re…

It sucks for the larger person to be in someone else’s space and it sucks for the person whose space they are in. It sucks for both parties. No one likes strangers touching them. 

You win and I saw someone die on a plane once.

Sanders has accomplished far more than any other candidate running except Biden, and in that case their ideologies diverge radically.

Zaya’s an incredibly lucky little girl to have such a supportive family. Love and light to them all.

Good for Drake talking to a woman over the age of 18!

Crawford’s kids seem...less than gifted. And I really don’t “get” Kaia’s appeal, other than a passing resemblance to her mother, from the right angle.

Garrett, your Dirt Bags (and your other writing on Jezebel) are the perfect balance of funny and kind. I admire your ability to *gently* poke fun. They should have you write all week!

A wild Chet Haze competitor appears!

This is more thoroughly planned then my real life.
