So this is where the buck stops.

It doesn’t really matter if they set a precedent if the other party never gets to use it because they’ve gerrymandered themselves state legislative districts that would require the other party to win upwards of 60% of the vote to take control.

I don’t know that they’re blaming the organizers, but the national campaign itself. My mom is in rural Michigan, and she stumped for both Obama’s campaigns and Hillary’s this year. She said the difference between the two was staggering.

I’m fairly confident that the New Yorker’s style guide forbids neither colons nor semicolons, nor emdashes, nor parentheses.

If you have to use big words or lots of conjunctions or lots of prepositions, it might be that you’ve pre-instantly arrived at the fact that you have no fucking idea as to the point you’re trying to make.

Well, I’ll go to college and learn some big words
And I’ll talk real loud, goddamn right I’ll be heard
And you’ll remember the guy who used all those big words
He must’ve learned in college

I stopped at “pre-instantly”

So maybe a reason Perry wanted this: the department of energy pours all kinds of research money into a number of high profile labs. These labs are mostly managed by the University of California (someone has to provide the research infrastructure and cheap grad student labor). A number of years ago UT put in a bid to…

Kind of a low ranking for the Fridge. At a minimum, I’m sure he’s well versed in EnergySTAR certification, which has to count for something at DOE.

Teddie stays together after mixing a lot better than most every other “natural” peanut butter I’ve had. Someone else in here mentioned the Whole Foods 365 peanut butter, which is over-oily garbage that needs industrial remixing every time you want some even if you keep it in the fridge.

“If Jesus had practiced this tactic, his male descendants could have saved more than $20,000 by now.”

Thank you so much for always highlighting JDI, Hamilton. I’m currently doing post-conviction work with people sentenced to LWOP sentences as minors - imagine being tried as an adult and sent to adult prison at 15, 16, or 17 years old. Imagine being told you’re going to die in prison before you’re old enough to vote or…

This always dogged me as a glaring contradiction. They know prisoners are being sexually assaulted, to such a degree that it is well known throughout our culture, and yet so little is done about it.

She looks like an anthropomorphized bird

I honestly don’t understand how people can be so cruel. Just gleefully, unabashedly horrible.

Even as a knife snob, I highly agree with this recommendation. Although I have a knife block full of expensive steel, the two Victorinox fibrox stamped blades are the ones I use the most around the kitchen. If you don’t know anything about these knives, be sure to get the one recommended and don’t think you are…

I make sure to read this at least once a year whenever I’m in dire need of laughs, so this is as good a chance as any:

Yeah, she has the taste of a Bama elementary ed major in a mid-tier sorority, but other than that it’s fine. She said she doesn’t expect all of it (presumably she just likes to be surprised?), it sounds like it was being sent to her entire extended family (not just one or two people), nothing on it is insanely…

I have seen much worse, in terms of the scope and dollar amount of what they want.
