Obama’s First Round of Endorsements Omits Ocasio-Cortez
by Shifra on August 1, 2018Could it be that Obama is concerned about how “toxic” Ocasio-Cortez might be to the Democrat midterms? Or, maybe since Celebrity Net Worth reported both Barack and Michelle Obama’s net worths as $40 million (each!), and according to data collected by Analytics@American, they could make as much as $242.5 million post-presidency, that whole “socialist-income-inequality-wealth-distribution” thing isn’t looking quite so appealing now. Via Free Beacon. Former President Barack Obama announced his endorsement Wednesday of dozens of Democratic candidates running for office in the November 2018 midterms. A statement released by the former president’s office said Obama will strive to help the Democratic Party retake control of the House of Representatives and increase the number of Democratic senators. “I’m proud to endorse...

Pickle Juice-Drinking People Go Public
by Shifra on July 1, 2018Did you ever discover a half-eaten jar of pickles in the fridge, with all the liquid gone? You probably assumed it was because you placed the jar on its side, and the liquid somehow leaked out. Well, you might want to consider an alternative reason for the missing liquid: Perhaps someone in your household is a pickle juice drinker. Via WSJ. ….Sour reactions have long driven an untold population of Americans to swig the stuff covertly. “I am a closeted pickle-juice drinker,” says Dawn Crosswhite, 51, a therapist and clinical-social-work professor in Denver, who recently admitted her habit to friend Millete Birhanemaskel…. But now there’s hope. People who privately partake of pickle juice are finding it easier to go public,...

Google Finds ‘Beautiful’ Is Top Misspelled Word in America
by Shifra on June 3, 2018Americans don’t know how to spell “beautiful” ? This is so embrrasing, er, embarrassing. Via CNET. Yacht. Chaos. Apparel. Connecticut. These are some of the words America most needs help spelling, according to a Google Trends visualization released this week. The chart breaks down to most-searched words by state. By the way, it’s Maine that’s asking how to spell “Connecticut.” In case you’re overly worried about America’s informal online spelling bee, keep in mind that Google’s data comes from top-searched “how to spell” queries. So it’s possible a lot of these searchers knew how to spell the words right, but just wanted to double check. Perhaps more interesting here is comparing the 2018 results with those from 2017.

MIT Librarian: Star Trek Posters In Workplace Could Be Sexist
by Shifra on March 14, 2018MIT — Massachusetts Institute of Technology — is a top-tier university focusing on STEM — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The woman who claims Star Trek posters can be sexist is the chief librarian at MIT. Throughout her blog, (which you can read in its entirety here), the usual lib buzzwords are thrown around — “mansplaining,” whitesplaining,” “white privilege,” ad nauseam. But, while she thinks she is preaching “tolerance” and “inclusivity,” she sounds like a fascist. HT Accuracy in Academia. ….One thing men can do, and white people can do in mixed race interactions, is stop mansplaining, and stop whitesplaining. Just stop. Stop doing it in person, and stop doing it online. What I mean is simply this — if...

IOC: U.S. Women’s Hockey Team Violated Rules With Patriotic Design
by Shifra on February 13, 2018The IOC might ask the women to change their masks to something “more neutral” than an image of a bald eagle and the Statue of Liberty.
