James Michael Patrick has been sentenced to 72 years in prison for the brutal murder of his Black wife, Jenean Chapman.
Jenean, a 46-year-old accomplished businesswoman and former assistant to Sarah Ferguson (Duchess of York), was found dead in her Dallas apartment in October 2023. Her injuries were so severe that her face and body were left unrecognizable.
After a trial that exposed the violence, Patrick was convicted and will not be eligible for parole until 2053.
Rest in Power, Jenean Chapman. Your life mattered. This verdict brings some measure of accountability, but the pain remains for her family.

I’ve been a 60 Minutes viewer my entire adult life.

This week, I deleted it from the list of shows my DVR is set to record for me automatically.

CBS lost me forever.

Good job, Bari Weiss.

It wasn’t just Amazon that killed these, Private Equity also killed these stores by using leveraged buyouts.

They let the company assume hundreds of millions, or even billions in debt, which it could not possibly keep up with, and that’s why they had to close.

Hasan Piker: “All of these Fox News guys are like I can’t believe this is what Graham Platner was doing. Pete Hegseth was literally your co-worker and was a notorious drunk rapist. I feel like I’m losing my mind, the standards are so out of wack. We just never look at Republicans. They can do whatever the fuck they want. They can literally murder, cheat, steal, rape”

Ban Ki-moon, then secretary-general of the United Nations, commented on how, in his visits to some of the most forgotten areas of the world, there was a common factor: the presence of Cuban doctors.

Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.

How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.

We are all relieved and grateful that Dawa Sherpa has miraculously survived and returned alive after days alone on Mt Everest. But while we celebrate the fact that he is alive, many serious questions remain unanswered.

Why was Dawa Sherpa left behind high on the mountain in the first place? When he failed to arrive at the lower camps, why was there no immediate communication with him? How could a climber remain missing for days on Everest without an urgent rescue initiative being launched? Why was human life seemingly not treated as the highest priority?

Another difficult question must also be asked. If the person left behind on Everest had been a foreign client rather than a Sherpa, would the same thing have happened? Would days have passed without a major search effort? Or would helicopters, rescue teams, and international attention have been mobilized immediately? It is an uncomfortable question, but one that deserves an honest answer.

This case also raises broader concerns about accountability and the growing sense of lawlessness on the world's highest mountain. Where is the Government of Nepal when such incidents occur? Everest operates under permits, regulations, and government oversight. If a climber can be left behind and remain missing for days without apparent accountability, what does that say about the system meant to protect human life? Who is responsible for enforcing the rules, investigating negligence, and ensuring that companies put safety before business?

Dawa Sherpa survived. That is the good news. But survival should not be used as an excuse to avoid questions. The mountaineering community, the public, and Dawa himself deserve answers.

For the love of God, bring back fact-checkers. Bring back copy editors. Bring back public editors. Bring back standards. Everybody tighten TF up.

REMINDER: DHS abandoned a blind man at a closed Tim Hortons in Buffalo and let him FREEZE TO DEATH.  

This new policy is disgraceful but entirely unsurprising.

As a woman I am extremely aware the only reason I have rights is because women before me got mouthy, organized, and made herself inconvenient. Thats why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors

Breaking: Kennedy Center staff is now being ordered to remove Trump’s name from the building. The removal of his name could happen within hours or days. As I found earlier today, his name is even on the center’s buses.

This dog had a lot to say after someone called him a bad boy.

His owner started asking him about it, and he immediately started making the cutest little noises like he was explaining his side of the story. Every time she asked him a question, he had a response ready. It’s honestly adorable.

Do you have a dog that “talks back” when you speak to them?

“The first thing anyone noticed in Theodosia was her smile. We’d always see her laughing.”

This Lebanese student was killed by Israel just after finishing her final exams. Theodosia Karam is one of over 3,500 people killed by Israel’s attacks on Lebanon since March.

This guy turned every single text his HOA president sent him into a song.

Over the past year and a half, she’s been texting him nonstop about fines, videos he’s posting, eggs in the yard, signs on his lawn, his driveway, and even threatening to put a lien on his house. So instead of arguing with her, he had AI turn all her messages into a full song.

It’s honestly one of the most creative ways I’ve seen someone get back at an over-the-top HOA.

Be honest… would you turn your HOA president’s texts into a song?
