    Charlie Daniels at 83 or a stroke. https://www.newser.com/story/293206/...paign=20200706

    If you've never listened to his song Uneasy Rider you should, it's hilarious and shows that back in his youth he was a hippie.

    That's one of those people that, had you asked me, I would have sworn he was already dead.

    Boing Boing has a nice list of all the media outlets that are calling what she did a "sexual relationship" instead of what it was, rape:

    Are the two always mutually exclusive?

    Yes. A sexual relationship has consent; rape does not.

    Relationships of any sort don't have to be two-way streets to be relationships.

    Maaan. That show is the Poltergeist of our time.

    ______

    I really liked Santana/Naya Rivera. That is truly sad. I can only imagine what it was like for her son to wonder where she was for that whole time. Not to mention; god. How the hell. How the crap do you die like that? I mean, I guess it happens all the time. but... yuck.

    No, they don't. Abusive sexual relationships are still sexual relationships, albeit not good ones.

    Re: The Graffe's Celebrity Death Pool

    Rivers and lakes are dangerous
    folk really should NOT mess around on them without other adults to help in case of emergencies
    and absolutely NEVER with just one adult their little kids and absolutely never in certain weather conditions or some bodies of water
    please please don't' do that folks

    You may think that's extreme, but then you wouldn't have seen how damn dangerous they can suddenly be :/
    there are areas on rivers and lochs/tarns here that absolutely bloody well WILL kill your ass dead no matter how good a swimmer you are, etc
    it's not about how big, or fierce etc per se, people completely misjudge things, and you can have squalls hammer down from the sky and over turn a boat

    if they haven't found the boat?? maybe, hopefully they are on an island, ashore some place taking shelter, and all is well
    sigh, we can hope and pray until bodies are found

    we've had a few folk, including kids drown in the waters her over the SUmmer, as so many folk never treat the waters with the bloody seriousness they deserve, they are NOT a "beach"

    apologies for vehemence, but losing your life, worse, a kid's....

    They have. Her four year old was asleep in the boat, with his life jacket on, aground on the north side of the lake. Her life jacket, and her purse, were still in the boat, no sign of her. They are treating it as a body recovery and not a missing persons issue.

    By any rational definition, they don't. Two people engaging in sex over a period of time are in a sexual relationship. The circumstances may dictate how that sexual relationship can be characterized, but the phrase itself is just a neutral term, like "killing" (as opposed to "murder").

    Apparently they both were swimming.

    I'm thinking one of two things happened:

    1) He was asleep. Kids don't fall asleep unless they're bloody tired when their mom isn't around. They swam too far out, the heat (it was baaaaddd yesterday) tired them out way mroe than they thought, and in getting him into the boat, she didn't have enough energy to get back in herself and succumbed to the elements.

    2) He got in the boat, tired, who knows, and kicked her as she pushed him in and knocked her out, unknowing.

    This is sad, indeed.

    Same sort of accident happened to one of RFK's granddaughters back in April. I had read the child was playing with a ball which they were attempting to retrieve from out in the water and were blown out and unable to get to shore.

    Like begets like: They don't. And news outlets that describe it as a sexual relationship are not wrong.

    Incidentally, "rape" is not a relationship, it's a singular action.

    Re: Naya Rivera:

    The vehicle Rivera and her son traveled to Lake Piru in was removed from the scene, though the boat remained in the water.
    This was an interesting line to read. Who removed it? THis line is way too fucking ambiguous for a damn news agency to leave this shit on a cliffhanger. WHy the fuck would you put this line in and not explain anything more?
