This article would have been much more shocking if years of participation on this message board hadn't proved that many lawyers aren't very bright.

One of the dangers of strong social justice narratives. Regardless if there is actual injustice, when the societal power dynamic changes, people seeking power or influence can take advantage of good intentions for personal or tribal gain. Even with training, mental health professionals can get sucked into some seriously deranged head spaces. Difficult situation all around. (Assuming the narrative given is sufficiently close to reality.)

This part made me guffaw/spit DMD out my nose:

[Hay's wife] pushed Hay to ask for a paternity test, but Hay wouldn’t have it. Not only did he trust Shuman, he felt it would have been insulting for a heterosexual cisgender man to question a professed lesbian as to whether she’d had sex with other men. He believed her when she said her sexual relationship with him was an exception.

Some lawyers might not be very bright, but some comedians don't know how to tell jokes.

Really well written memoir of a father with the infamous AAirpass and how it shaped and affected their family.

I thought this was an enjoyable read. What a life for the author to grow up in.

I thought so too. I thought it was interesting that at so early an age they recognized class difference and felt almost embarrassed to be sitting in first class as children.

I think my favorite part of the article was when she called her dad asking for an explanation on some of the "shady" details.

It's a long article, so here's a tease to get you interested!

Wow, crazy. Thank you for posting.

I learned a new word: pre-ejaculate. Which means I actually learned two new words.

Poe, Roe, I kept getting confused.

Are you trying to demonstrate the message board version of pre-ejaculate?

Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s grandmother has been cooking for Dominican baseball players for 2 decades. Reading this story brought me back to Puerto Rico. Abuelas love to cook:

Read twitter, and I think you'll find that one side of the criminal justice spectrum is hardly content with the sentence she received.

Read twitter, and I think you'll find that one side of the criminal justice spectrum is hardly content with the sentence she received.

The Twitterers I’m partial to are pleased that she was found guilty, and for the most part think 10 years is a fair sentence. Some of them quibble with the murder charge, and would have preferred something like manslaughter.

Which side are you referring to?
