I wonder if NIH makes a scrapple chopper

I was packing up our kitchen supplies last month when I came across a plastic pizza cutter that SAL gave us from the National Institutes of Health.

It sure was nice of NIH to put out a product that makes it easier for people to eat pizza.

But wait.

Should the National Institutes of Health be promoting pizza? Maybe they should make souvenir carrot peelers instead.

Re: non-smoking 9:30 club from your Twitter scroll:

I don't remember the "new" 9:30 club being too bad with smoke, but the old one was a nightmare. You'd walk in and the air would be blue, but by the time the show was over it was brown.

I don't remember having a problem with the color of the air, but when I would come home from a show our whole apartment smelled like smoke for days.

I think that's the second smoke-free show I've been to there this year. I love going to shows there (or anywhere in DC for that matter) now that the smoking ban is in place.

oh, and maybe the NIH pizza cutter works best on vegetarian pizzas? Just to keep it healthy.

Maybe that's it. But it sure works well on pepperoni...

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!
