That was the most bonkers (but awesome) detail. I wasn’t aware of that before, but when she said it I was like “Holy shit this really is her destiny.” Wonkette’s Hillary tee is more accurate than they imagined!

Someone just posted the same article in my timeline and they can fuck off forever. Thankfully, people are calling him on that bullshit.

I work at a very large university and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a metal detector on campus. I work in a building that is restricted access and we still have public hours (public just can’t get to certain areas of the building) and no metal detectors anywhere.

Don’t worry, I’ve been getting comments and stars days after most of the thread went dormant. Bewilderment with mid-century food is a topic that keeps us all coming back haha.

Recipes for salads from the 1950s seem to always end with “and then put that stuff in some gelatin” or “and then mix in half a jar of mayo”

Buzzfeed actually subjected their video team to it a while ago:

I just love looking at the old cookbooks that have pictures in them (or especially those 1960s and 70s Weight Watchers cards- they are a horror gold standard). You just sink into a morass of WHY. WHY IS THIS. I really and truly can’t picture someone making some of these things and being like “yup. this was a good…

Seriously. I’ve heard it explained as the novelty of things like jello, but so many of these recipes are so bonkers I feel like that can’t explain all of it. Like, if I’m remembering correctly, I have an old cookbook with a recipe for some kind of “refresher” drink that is like straight up fucking broth.

Yes. I think they might be allowed to reject it (family members at least), but they’re allowed to have lifetime protection. There was a brief period where it was reduced to 10 years after leaving office, but that was reversed and it’s forever again.

My mom’s identity was stolen because of that OPM hack.

Like, maybe this is me living in a bubble (or perhaps more likely, Lara living in a bubble), but how in the hell can you not know the basics of Jeopardy? Stuff like “Answer in the form of a question” seems like it should be as much a part of the zeitgeist as “On Wheel of Fortune, you have to buy the vowels”

Same. At the moment his position is basically that he wants Sanders to get it the fuck together and stop encouraging this kind of bullshit. If he doesn’t, then it’s on (he has until Nov to make a final call on if he runs or not).

Exactly. If he had been smart about this, he could have parlayed his success in the primary into increased influence in the senate or a cabinet position. He had the chance to set up a strengthened leftist contingent in the party. But now he’s increasingly taking a “burn it all down approach” towards the party and he…

Al Giordano has formed an exploratory committee to look into running against him.

Usually it’s her team, but if it has as “-H” at the end it’s actually her. POTUS does something similar on his twitter account.

They put out two ads in the past 24 hrs that are basically recaps of all the monstrous shit that he’s said. I’m particularly fond of the one that is all the GOP types basically narrating it- it reminds me of when her response to the first GOP debate was to put up compliments all the candidates had said about her in…

Update: If my math is correct (I’m using fivethirtyeight’s delegate tracker for the counts, so it might shift a little over the next few days), then Hillary exceeded her target of 35.8% of available delegates by 11.2 pts and Bernie fell short of his target of 64.2% by the same margin. Because of this, Hillary’s target…

Correct. I don’t have my spreadsheet in front of me (yes, I have a spreadsheet. i need help.), but by my math his target was about 64% to be on track to tie. He didn’t make that, so I’d anticipate that that number will go up to around 65-66%.
