Yeah. Some of it, I think, is consumer culture - it drives certain kinds of change very, very quickly, and it tends to be much of what people identify with.

Yup, and I have that same issue (as I noted elsewhere) with Gen Xers who only remember the 80s and not the 70s. VERY different childhood experiences.

Same thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennia…

My favorite - optically - were the folks wearing what were supposed to be (apparently) Robin Hood caps. My first reaction when I saw them on TV was to turn to my wife and say “Oh, look. Peter Pan caps. Guess they’re refusing to grow up.”

Archibald Cox, Jr. had a son (b 1940) named Archibald, Jr. This could be that Archibald, Jr. There is also an Archibald Cox III, which I only know because he was in my class in college. Didn’t really know him, though. Apparently works as a horse trainer, not a lawyer.

Colbert could probably do it, but I doubt he would.

Ashley Bell, a former Democratic official hired recently to head the RNC outreach to African-Americans said “We are doubling down on the African-American vote”. Based on how that’s gone so far, I expect their support to be halved at 0.75% within weeks.

I believe that the IOC and FIFA are generally neck-and-neck in that race.

And let’s not forget that the estimate for lifelong care of a child born with microcephaly is more than $10 million.

It’s more than not landing on the decent opinion, they manage to stick the landing on the awful position EVERY TIME. This is Olympic-calibar Gymnastic Asshattery.

I’d argue that any single person involved in the efforts I mentioned has done more.

Republican State legislators and governors around the country passing and signing burdensome voter ID laws?

My kids - in NJ - root for the Jayhawks because their kindergarten teacher was a KU alum and would put stuff up every year for the NCAA basketball tournament.

Part-time legislature. Few states (only ten) have full-time legislatures.

Looks even worse when you get a shot of the whole stage. Getty Images has this one - it’s not photoshopped.

Baruch College (part of CUNY) is on the list, but they don’t have any residence halls. So, even with a large number of students, it’s a little less unbelievable in that specific case. A bunch of CUNY schools have very limited housing, so the number of students enrolled would be far higher than the number of…

I knew we were in trouble a few years back when one of the canned food brands (Green Giant, maybe) had to add instructions to the cans of creamed corn. You know, pour it into saucepan and heat.

So yes, in that world, this counts as a recipe.

I’m siding with the insurance company on this one. And this just makes the NCAA two year “bowl ban” for PSU even more of a joke. In an ideal world, if they do have to pay, the insurer would be able to use subrogation to sue former University officials, Paterno’s estate, etc., but depending on PA law, insurance regs…

From what was said at the time, she didn’t want it regardless at this point in her life and career. Given that she knew what the job would entail, I’d have to defer to her judgement, rather than ours . . .

Terrible administrators love the outrage as icing on the the evaluation process cake. It gives them another tool to use to control the faculty. And not just the adjuncts, since even tenured faculty come up for promotion. And the accreditation agencies in some regions are giving them even more ways to micromanage…
