What’s cooking chez vous? I made Stella Park’s copycat Levain cookies, but don’t tell, I did make them half size. They are monster sized at three ounces! I could not countenance the madness of six ounce cookies! That’s 168 grams for you metric people.
All-male marketing team: Diamonds...girls like diamonds. Chocolates...girls love chocolate...
Perhaps worthless was a poor choice of words, but “bad return on investment” is fair. If you want an expensive degree with a low ROI, that should be a personal choice.
To me, this is where Mayor Pete’s mandatory-national-service proposal can come in. If it’s mandatory for all U.S. citizens to complete some sort of service (Americorps, military, whatever), then create something analogous to the GI Bill, rewarding service with free college.
I actively enjoy Bey’s music but Homecoming just served to underscore the emptiness of it all... I know a larger point is trying to be made at this point in her career, and bless her! Wish the gal nothing but good will. But there’s just not much “there” there when you dig underneath the glitz and glamour of the…
I’m not a hardcore viewer of RHOA. The ladies of RHOA have always been a tad too crass for my liking...not RHONJ-level crass, but a bit too rough around the edges. I did, however, watch enough of this season to confirm a couple of things:
“...and promised that his mere presence in the White House would make everything okay...”
Which is really similar to what happened to Clinton. You had one candidate putting forward serious suggestions for how to handle important issues in the country, and one candidate who lied about everything and promised that his mere presence in the White House would make everything okay, and most of the media coverage…
Oh, Esther, Esther, Esther, I’d tell you your cynicism is SO refreshing, but well, it isn’t. Of course, the fastest way to gain attention is to go against the grain, and against the grain at the moment is to attack the candidate who seems to have the most momentum. Your efforts to tear down what is a true and genuine…
Thank you for the links! I had no idea he was working with those incredible designers. THIS is the kind of information I would like to have. Also, Obama’s sunrise logo is iconic. His Hope poster was iconic. Marketing isn’t a joke and candidates should take it seriously. Look at Trump.
“a confused, forward-thinking nostalgia under the veneer of progress” —what exactly is that?
Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. I love Jezebel. I don’t love this. As an American living abroad and viewing things a bit remotely, this kind of pointless hit piece on a progressive Democratic candidate is super disheartening. The 2020 election will have really big ramifications on people’s lives (and like,…
I’m always surprised with how these kinds of progressive hit pieces on Democrats end up making me *like* the Democrat in question more after reading them, as if my driving motivation is basic empathy towards like-minded people when they get the stuffing knocked out of them by Internet ‘tough folks’ with axes to grind.…
Maybe he’s putting brand ahead of policy because he wants to win. Trump won, and Trump is nothing but brand. Trump outsourced his policies to conservative think tanks after winning.
Um yeah. IDGAF what designers think of any Dem candidates branding. The most important design nugget is that they are NOT Donald Trump.
This is exactly what they did in 2015/2016 against HRC because she wasn’t Bernie. They unfortunately continued to do it even after he had mathematically lost the primary. I’m not sure why they’re going all-in with him AGAIN despite there being a plethora of qualified alternatives in the primary this go-around, but…
This may just be me, but I think judging presidential candidates based primarily on specific policy proposals is like judging a car mechanic on how good of a driver they are. It’s not irrelevant, but there are much more pressing concerns with how they do the job. The presidency is not a legislative position. Much more…
He’s not wrong that the landry list of super detail proposal may actually be a sign of weak and not strong candidate. I believe is a way to signal intellectual depth and seriousness more than to be actually either of those things. Which politician had more grand idea on Paper than Representative Ryan is the ultimate…
Seriously - what a weird take they’re going with here. Beto’s is just copying Whataburger branding and Bernie’s feels...kinda dated?
I have similar negative feelings towards McKinsey consultants--and the company in general. But I like Pete and am taking consolation that his stint there was not his lifelong pursuit.
