How did the monkeys with the Reston virus get back to Africa? Were they released into the wild after being infected in the US?

Unless he for whatever reason ends up having little to do with them, I suspect it might not matter because the damage his daughters will experience as the result of being raised by an angry man who hates, objectifies, gaslights, and abuses women will outweigh any of the larger cultural influences.

Holy shit. Dude is a fucking sociopath, a spoiled fucking crybaby asshole. I knew I hated him on general principle, but I never followed news stories about him. I knew guys like him though, the ones that would be nicey nicey to women he deemed "had value" but was an utter shite to women he viewed as worthless.

I've found that in order for a man like Joe Francis to be eligible for karmic retribution, he has to be open to its subtleties in the first place. I mean, dumb people are prone to cause and effect, but it's just not the same. He's an idiot. He could go his whole life and never figure out the damage his girls will…

I feel like using the dog for research is a lot worse than euthanizing it. It sucks and is sad, but there is a much larger issue here than a pet dying which is containing a deadly virus. Let's keep in mind how many people in Africa have already died.

that photo, along with the article headline, brings to mind a doggy version of the ISIS beheadings.

Can't they just put him in an adorable airtight dog containment suit?

I get the concern, really, but this is a terrible message to send to people who might have been exposed but are afraid to report it. Come on in for treatment, we'll take care of killing your pets for you!

As someone with a background in arts nonprofits, I don't think that "rich white people" (and implied Republican) is a super accurate description of the typical classical music fan. Classical music audiences do tend to be old and white, but they're hardly a bunch of stodgy conservatives— the arts crowd leans pretty…

St. Louis is 49.2% black. Why would you assume the symphony attendees are almost entirely white?

Yup. Forget the adorably, fully-stocked antique kitchen I found at a thrift store. No, my kid is busy with a week-old balloon animal that basically looks like a large pink condom at this point.

THIS. The way they responded, all of them, just made my heart so full. Elephant herds are family.

Wait 'til they have another one. Then they'll be all "You're fine, walk it off. Where'd I put that peanut beer...?"

I want elephant parents. They get me.

omg they keep reassuring him touching his trunk and surrounding him in a protective cocoon of elephant.

Not only do they dash to his rescue, they usher him up the safer route, carefully steer him away from another potential fall, stop and check him, and then he turns around so that one of the adults (his mother?) can specifically check his wounded tush with her trunk.

I can't see the video but I'm guessing it's very like this classic

I love this video.

I'm convinced my dogs think their name is the sound of the cheese drawer opening and the bag rustling. I can yell "spunkie" all day and get noting but if the fridge opens they're there stat.

For someone who appears to be complaining about punctuation, that was remarkably incoherent.
