I have a theory: the person who created that thing has never taken care of an actual human baby. 

My guess as to why taking the telegraph is considered a step too far is that it’s inside the ship and while not a huge item. needs to be maneuvered out of the ship. The ship is in worsening condition, year over year and previous expeditions have caused damage to the wreck. So trying to pull further objects from the…

I don’t know. We seem to be bending over backwards to find reasons why we should believe Tara Reade. Mostly centered on “believe women,” a concept I support.

Um, sorry but I’m going to be that guy, J. Crew filing for bankruptcy doesn’t mean they’re going out of business, nor that they’re a casualty. They were about to put Madewell up for an IPO when the pandemic struck, so they have some very profitable segments. They’ve also gone bankrupt before.
