How Men Think

A stunning announcement just three weeks before state contestants compete in the 75th annual Miss USA Pageant at the end of the month: Miss North Carolina USA has been stripped of her crown over former social media posts where she’s alleged to have used the “n-word”. A familiar headline these days, unfortunately, but T.J. asks if an opportunity was missed.

It’s been exactly one year since 33-year-old fashion designer Martha Nolan was found dead on a yacht in Montauk and there is still no official cause of death and no formal persons of interest named.  Nolan’s family believes they know who is responsible for her death, and are planing to file a lawsuit with the details of their independent autopsy on Nolan’s body and the independent investigation into the man who was with her at the time of her death. Nolan’s family is filing a $50 million dollar civil lawsuit against Christopher Durnan, who was seen running naked on the docks throwing items at other boats to get help. There are a number of unanswered questions about that night: why was he naked, why didn’t he call 9-1-1 and why is there an extended period of time between when he claims Martha went limp and when he tried to get help.

It was a shortened day of testimony, but it was a powerful day in court. The prosecution called five witnesses to the stand, including several more medical and scientific experts, one of whom evoked a fiery exchange between Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney and prosecutors. The star witness of the day was the Clancy family’s former nanny who was with Lindsay and her children in the months leading up to the murders. Elaine Rossi testified that she was aware Lindsay was struggling with postpartum, but was deeply involved in caring for her children and was a wonderful mom.

A shocking and disturbing video is still making the rounds on X as of this recording, showing the murder of 25-year-old César Gastélum while he was live-streaming a comedic sketch in Mexico. The murder was a brazen attack, with two men casually pulling up on a motorcycle next to Gastelum and his friends, in front of a KFC just blocks away from the prosecutor’s office at 8 pm in the evening. As Mexican authorities hunt down his killers, it’s just the latest in a series of similar deaths, with at least 12 other influencers murdered in the same area over the past year and a half.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s office responded to a disturbing scene on Tuesday after receiving multiple calls from concerned fans who were watching a bloody livestream involving celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. It appeared Hilton was cutting himself live, on his TikTok feed, and was covered in blood, as people watching were begging him to stop. The video has been taken down, but is still circulating online, as Hilton recovers in the hospital. While his reps have said publicly they haven’t been able to reach him, there are so many questions as to how and why things took such a violent turn. Sadly, self harm videos have been plaguing social media sites in recent years, and are considered by mental health professionals as a potential gateway to more serious outcomes, including death.

The prosecution had more doctors, forensic experts and state troopers take the stand on Day 6 of testimony in the triple murder trial of 35-year-old Massachusetts mom, Lindsay Clancy. After agreeing to stipulate to certain facts in the hopes of speeding up the trial and avoiding dozens of witnesses, the defense got testy at one point, questioning why three toxicologists needed to testify about blood evidence after the agreement. The prosecution continued to try and prove Clancy faked her suicide attempt, while the defense was very effective in poking holes in that theory.

Never saw this story coming, but there are additional “clothing checks” happening at the Women’s Tour de France this week. After complaints that some women may be using extra padding in their sports bras for an aerodynamic advantage, race organizers confirmed the new inspections. Who knew, but using padded bras, aka “chest fairing," aka “bra doping," can give riders a few seconds of advantage and is prohibited by the International Cycling Union.
