The snark flipped at first cousin marriage advocates was justified, but your phrasing could imply that the action of "Deliverance" occurred in Texas. The book and the movie take place in darkest northern Georgia.
I am appalled at the reaction of the mainly young to a murderer who killed a young father. I do not know what is wrong with our young or America, but if you did not have the evidence of something seriously rotting in our culture, this is that proof.
In college, Joni Ernst told us that she was raped by someone she was seeing. In her divorce papers, it was inadvertently published that her husband, during an argument over another woman he was seeing, physically assaulted the Senator.
Donald Trump, his sycophants, and Pete Hegseth are assaulting her all over again. I am sure she is enduring those traumas again. Women are vulnerable, especially to those who they allow in their circle. Mr Hegseth denies all the allegations. His drinking, mismanagement of veteran groups, and sexual harassment of women. He denies he sexually assaulted the women in CA. He said it was consensual.
The Senator is being assaulted online and in public in her state by MAGA lickspittles, threatening her. Some may call this hardball politics. I call it bullying and a dangerous new level of threats.
Nutters threatened Mike Gallagher, a rising GOP star and genuinely good guy. He quit Congress after he and his family were threatened. The threat of violence because you happen to hold a difference of opinion from Herr Trump is a rubicon once crossed that will be hard to undo.
I am disgusted over the treatment Sen Ernst is getting. I would be highly suspicious of Pete Hegseth running the military. His disdain for women in combat, his history with sexual assault is proven, and the fact that our females who serve in our military are sexually assaulted at a ridiculously high rate.
America is going down the wrong path, and our youth have been altered into sociopaths. Trump's damage will be long lasting and what worries me is that he may not be done F'ing up America.
I’d bet serious money Mangione was baptized and raised in the church of oppressed v oppressors. A church that characterizes profits, wealth and corporations as evil. And distills everything down to the simplistic binary of “it’s not your fault where you are, it’s (insert oppessor person/group here) fault. It shouldn’t be shocking with all the rhetoric that overwhelms the airwaves from the MSM and politicians that cite talking points from this religion routinely, that this happened in the US. What’s shocking is that more hasn’t happened to date. The hate and violence that this Neanderthal thinking has fomented and continues to is predictable.
In the past year or so I've been coming across the phrase, "lived experience." Forgive my ignorance, but is there any other kind of experience? Not that my English is perfect, but this one is beginning to annoy me almost as much as, "I could care less."
If Julia Alekseyeva worked in the private sector “The Soviette” would be unemployed right now. The fact that works in a public education position should raise red flags about what our schools are sending out in the world. I think Elon and Vivek have a starting point at where we can start cutting from the government budget.
I love ya River but this is embarrassing including for The Free Press editor who sent this to press. We have an Ivy Leaguer, who loves the unabomber, and screams about his lived experience. But hes not a left-wing radical…. smh…
What does he have to do? Send the Free Press a notarized letter confirming his worldview? Demographically he is the exact same type of person that has been cheering this.
This article is case a of mental gymnastics to avoid the incredibly obvious conclusion.
You might have a point, but I think they were trying to say that it’s not glaringly obvious that he was so extreme. As someone wrote a few comments above, I’m wondering what kind of meds he got after his surgery and if this had an effect on him.
If anyone misses Paul Krugman, you’ll find equally wrong and out-of-touch economic fantasies by reading Alan Blinder in the Wall Street Journal. Just sayin’.
The Gray Lady is slightly less stupid with Krugman's departure. I'm sure one of the other columnists, perhaps the aptly named Charles Blow or Michelle Goldberg will step up to fill the vaccum with more of their own vacuousness.
This is the first time I've seen a front page with almost no foreign news in it - which is so weird, considering everything that's happening in Syria, the US fighting the Houthis off near Yemen, Russia saving Assad, etc.
Trying to read anything into the use of the term “warfighter” in terms of messaging, politics, etc. is nonsense. My family worked and lived in Huntsville, AL, home of the Army’s Redstone Arsenal, for more than 3 decades. Everything the Army does, from design, development, logistics, acquisition, etc. is for the purposes of enabling, supporting and protecting the “warfighter” - the brave men and women in the field protecting our freedoms. The author could have discovered this with just a minutes worth of research.
“None of this has hurt Mangione’s status as a hero for a disturbingly large number of people. In the immediate aftermath of Brian Thompson’s murder . . . .”
Was it a disturbingly large number of people? Or was it a relatively standard number of people who always show up manifesting a “love the bad boy” psychosis following high profile crimes who just happen to live in an era when their voices are, unfortunately, amplified by a “click/like/react/share” media/social media revenue model?
I had a diagnosis of spondylolisthesis at age 56. Same position as shown in LM’s photo, L5-S1. This is where the majority of spondylolisthesis presents simply because L5 is the first vertebrae that moves while S5 is fixed from birth.
I was in a lot of pain and was starting to lose lateral control of my right foot. It made my 12-14 hour work day a chore.
Again, the pain was constant, 5-6/10 on the pain chart. I was cranky and irritable to say the least.
After consulting 2 neurosurgeons I elected to have surgery, a transforamal interbody fusion. After a 6.5 hour surgery I was walking around the nurses station 5 hours later and I went home the next day. Took pain meds for two days and then some Aleeve. I had an exceptional outcome and can do anything I choose such as skiing, mountain biking etc.
The vast majority of spondylolisthesis presents in the early 50s at L5-S1. Usually the result of lots of sports and lifting weights. That would be me.
Clearly something happened to LM for this condition to present at such a young age.
I have no idea how this plays into his actions. If at all. But it’s something to consider.
I wonder…now this is completely crazy…but what if it had been possible for Luigi and Brian to sit down together, valedictorian to valedictorian, and have a conversation. Or conversations. Could that have led to something besides murder? This is all just so sad on every level.

With an Italian name and having grown up in eastern Maryland, it's highly likely that he grew up a Catholic.

“Maple syrup and Tim Hortons may cost more in 2025 if Trump decides to impose the 25 percent tariffs on Canadian exports”
Don’t believe this heresy. Real maple syrup only comes from the great country of Vermont!
And New York!
Just how many backpacks did Mangione have?
The article here on Mangione was infinitely - infinitely - better than what I read in the WSJ. Seriously insightful and well-written. Thank you.
Another "Chad?"
Enough with the dumb labels, please. We don't need to categorize people with throwaway tags that don't provide any meaningful information.

Blow dealt the final blow to my NYTIMES subscription. The racism was just beyond the pale. Blow is way worse than Krugman. It's a blatant shame.

As it should be
