How Men Think

It’s been exactly one week since 29-year-old mom of 4, Tasia Fortune, was found hanging from a tree in the back of an abandoned home in Jackson, Mississippi. The medical examiner’s office is conducting an autopsy, but as of this recording, police have not said whether they suspect foul play or suicide. Of note, a Jackson City Council member has asked the U.S. Attorney’s office for help investigating, as Fortune’s family is demanding answers and justice. Over the past decade in Mississippi, there have been 3 other tree hanging deaths of black men, all of them ruled suicides over the objections of their families.

The trial of former gang leader, 63-year-old Duane Keith Davis begins today, three decades after the 1996 shooting death of rap icon Tupac Shakur. Davis isn’t accused of being the triggerman that night on the Vegas strip, but he’s accused of supplying the gun and orchestrating the killing. Davis has pleaded not guilty to first degree murder, but it was Davis’ own 2019 memoir and his public comments afterwards which detailed his role in the killing that landed him behind bars and on trial for his life.

As we continue to follow the testimony in the “Killer Mom Trial” in Massachusetts,  it’s hard to understand how posts on TikTok alleging a wild conspiracy theory are getting so much traction.  Tiktokers are claiming Lindsay Clancy’s husband, Patrick, is the person responsible for the strangling deaths of his three young children and that HE pushed her out of the window, rather than her jumping out of the window to end her own life.  With the defense clearly acknowledging that Lindsay murdered her children, saying she’s not guilty by reason of insanity, we discuss HOW so many people could come to this bizarre conclusion.

As week 3 of testimony continues in the Lindsay Clancy trial, fireworks erupted in the courtroom on Friday.  The defense attorney for the mom who says she killed  her three young children because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, accused the prosecution of saying “shut her up” about Clancy’s sobbing as autopsy photos were shown to jurors.   The judge ultimately put out a warning to the courtroom about any inappropriate comments, as two psychiatrists who treated Clancy dominated much of the testimony.  Both doctors testified that Clancy showed no signs of psychosis.

The family of Perez Hilton has updated fans on his condition, saying he’s in serious, but stable condition and will require surgery in the coming days. Hilton’s family acknowledged he is hospitalized under the Baker Act, which allows someone to be committed to a mental health treatment center for up to 72 hours. The family is also asking the media to leave the family’s home, to stop following and taking pictures of Hilton’s children and to give the family space and privacy. The irony was not lost on many celebrities who suffered from Hilton’s vicious posts, but one in particular, Ireland Baldwin, led the way in grace and kindness in her powerful response.

The internet has gone wild with speculation after Usher’s concert Saturday night at Met Life Stadium.  Videos and photos are circulating showing what some fans are saying is a clone, or a look a like, on stage instead of Usher,  singing “Love In This Club”. We aren’t sure where we stand after carefully looking at the clips, but some fans are demanding their money back, saying they didn’t pay good money to see a stand in sing an Usher song. Meantime, Usher has responded by commenting on one of the posts, saying “Ya’ll are funny.  Clone? You can’t clone this.” Hmmmmm…. He didn’t exactly deny it?

We continue our Sunday series, offering some inspiration, perspective and guidance from spiritual and religious leaders around the world. Today, we have a fascinating and thought-provoking conversation with the Reverend Dr. David Breeden, the Senior Minister of the First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis and a longtime humanist minister, author and professor. Dr. Breeden explains what it means to be a Unitarian Universalist and a humanist, and how people can find morality, purpose, hope and community without believing in God or an afterlife. He also opens up about his journey from being raised Pentecostal to becoming a humanist, why he believes humans can solve the problems humans have created, and what he thinks happens to us after we die.

We had a blast going over the latest dating trend making the rounds on social media: eventationships.  It’s described as an agreement between two singles who commit to being each other’s plus ones, especially around wedding season. Sounds like the exact plot of the 2005 rom com “The Wedding Date” starring Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney, however it’s now a thing…. Or was it always?  We discuss how it works, how it can get messy, and why we actually think this may be how our relationship started.
