🧵
2017: "someday" Chelsea Clinton predicts woman president -- someday Chelsea Clinton mostly stuck to the subject of childhood obesity Friday at a Variety magazine event honoring prominent women and their charity work -- except for her last line. Responding to a pointed quip hours earlier from emcee Vanessa Bayer that none of the honorees' mothers was president, Clinton said that maybe not, "but someday, someone's (mother) will be." --Press Journal, 23 April 2017

A Brief History of Nobody Dresses Well Anymore

🧵
2022 "Attitudes have changed," she said, a bit wistfully. "People don't dress up much anymore. --Lincoln Journal Star, 12 September 2022
2015 "People don't dress well anymore. They don't even dress up to go to work. On the tube I see a lot of black clothes all the time," she explained. "I have black clothing too but I like to wear colours, particularly purples, mauves and pinks and other bright colours. "In my day when you went to London for the day you always wore gloves, a hat and smart shoes. It was unthinkable to wear trainers. I don't like it. Things like trips to the theatre are a chance to dress up." --The Argus, 19 November 2015

It is eight o'clock and the switch, operating the above fiendish substitute for an alarm clock, is operated from school so that, at the moment, I am in the same predicament as the rest of the 450 scholars. After donning my one piece asbestos suit (washing being unnecessary under new atmospheric conditions) I partake of breakfast in tabloid form & step outside in time to catch the 8.10 aerobus & arrive at school two minutes later. The first lesson is English, and... the English ...
Horses will no longer exist Future of the Horse Another scientists says that the horse is to be extinct, and he sets the date a century hence. The extinction process may be at work, says the Washington Star, but whether the horse will go to the vanishing point in that time one does not know. If horses would decrease in the same ratio as in the last ten years, it might be easy to tell when the last horse would give up his stall to an automobile and pass on to that realm where good horses should go, and perhaps where old Pegasus still rears and canters through the clouds. But the decrease in horse population -- or in &...
