Walk this way

Earlier this month, Bonnie Bernstein mentioned that she doesn't have a "walk-in" closet. The phrase came up as she was explaining that she does not have a large clothing collection.

I had always thought it was called a "walk-through" closet.
Was I right or are they two different things?

Walk in closet = you walk in. The closet door is the only means of entry/exit.

Walk through closet = you can walk through it. There are at least 2 entries/exits. Think a closet between a bedroom and bathroom. Or our old "closet" leading to the downstairs half bath that we got rid of.

Anyway, you are the only person that doesn't know these things (or 2 of you it seems). But, if you lived in a hot real estate market like Southwest, you could differentiate.

Then isn't just about every closet a walk-in closet? Bonnie used the fact that she doesn't have a walk-in closet as an example of how she doesn't have an large collection of clothes.

I can't walk into my closet. No, "most" closets, you walk in, you are going to hit your head on clothes.

It is the ability to walk in with relative ease into a "room" of clothes that makes it a walk in closet. The point is, a walk THROUGH closet - you can walk out the other side of it.

Ah, I understand now. There are three types of closets:

1) A shallow closet that you can't step into

2) A walk-in closet

3) A walk-through closet.

4) A drive-through closet (only in Texas).

Incumbents didn't stand a chance

Kamala Harris had an advantage in fundraising and campaign mobilization. Yet she got trounced. The lesson is that advertising and organizing doesn't matter in politics, right? Wrong. In the battleground states where she leveraged those resource advantages, Harris underperformed Joe Biden's 2020 results by 1.6 points . In the non-battleground states where she did not meaningfully compete, she underperformed 2020 by 3.9 points . This means that i n the places where the Harris campaign spent money and organized and knocked on doors, she did better.* Duh, it wasn't enough. Yet consider the political environment in 2024 for incumbent parties: across the world this year, each governing party facing election has lost vote share. Every single one. (This is the first time that had ever happened.) No one would suggest that Democrats pat themselves on the back when the result of their efforts is a Donald Trump victory. But look at this chart:**  The red dot is the 2024 Democrats, the ...

USC goes commando

Image
I've always thought USC cheerleaders were pretty classy (to the extent that such a classification is possible in the cheerleading world). They wear long-sleeved white turtlenecks, rather than the skimpy tops donned by most cheerleading teams. But yesterday I discovered that a USC Song Girl named Megan Ramer doesn't wear underwear. Britney Spears, are you responsible for this?

Paperweights have become paperweights

Image
When something goes unused or becomes obsolete, it's said to become a paperweight. Is your cellphone slow and out of date? It's become a paperweight. Is your laptop too slow to use? It's become a paperweight. Do you never use your Apple Vision Pro? It's become a paperweight. Weirdly, paper itself has become a paperweight. People do their work on laptops, tablets, and phones. Most homes don't have printers. Not only do we not need paperweights, we barely need paper!
