    Hopefully someone will do a graphic novel.
    And then they'lll make that into a movie.
    Starring Emilio Estevez.
    And the kid from 'Witness.'

    They can hire Stormy Daniels to star as the cave.

    BBC's coverage has been incredible throughout. That's a good read.

    Did not realize they sedated the kids before the dive.

    I don't want to say "I told you so" to anyone, but there is no way they could have made that swim conscious. Impossible.

    After reading the Washington Post and BCC accounts, I can't imagine anyone still blaming the coach for anything. This guy had 12 kids in total darkness and without food for days and kept their hopes up. He deserves nothing but praise and the thanks of those families -- which seems to be happening, since they must be a bit more compassionate in Thailand than a few posters on sj.com.

    While the rescue was underway I was on vacation in a group. Mostly they were older -- people in their 60s and 70s. They were following the rescue fairly closely, and about 95% of the discussion was about what they should do to the coach. Prison for life! Sue him!

    People are fucking weird, man.

    I merely suggest he's forced to ride in a small submersible with Elon Musk for five hours.

    I think I'd take the Thai prison.
