Found on BoingBoing:
Neil Cicierega took the four (!) Chipmunks movies, superimposed them upon one another, and slowed them down. If CGI remakes of cartoons can be seen as the pigs of our cartoon childhoods ushered into the rendering plant, this is the psychic slime left gluelike under the vats.
Observation from a O'Malley supporter on HRC's NY Primary speech last night
HRC's speech last night included about 10 lines from Martin O'Malley's standard stump speech including banning the box. If CNN posts a text transcription, I'll add the other points. I find that encouraging and have always felt that O'
Malley's plans would become the blueprint for the Democratic party moving forward.
O'Malley plans are posted here:

Her speech is here:
Sanders is back home in Vermont today taking a break from the campaign
Will he throw in the towel in the next day or so?
Question on used floor tiles
Here's the background
A client want to sell her house, guts the kitchen and installs an expensive, thicker-than- normal ceramic tile that looks like white stone.
Her crummy contractor uses some form of adhesive on the bottom, lets it dry and put grout between them.
4 weeks later, the tile all comes up since the adhesive is not the proper stuff to set the tile in.
The client has it removed and installs a new floor with new tiles properly.
I inherit 250 sq feet of nice tile that was installed and removed. The tile is not broken, the adhesive flakes off of the back with no problem.
My question is about the grout on the edges. Can I remove it? Would it be easy to remove?
Would the tile still be useful? Could it still be installed for a floor if done properly?
Or is it best to send to the dump? (Thicker than normal, but probably wouldn't survive winters to place it outside).
TIA. 
What was the result of the NY Emergency Lawsuit on primary voting? The hearing took place at 9 am.
Anyone have the results or any info?
Are you an independent voter? You aren't if you checked this box
Based in the Solano County home of one of its leaders, the AIP bills itself as “The Fastest Growing Political Party in California."
But a Times investigation has found that a majority of its members have registered with the party in error. Nearly three in four people did not realize they had joined the party, a survey of registered AIP voters conducted for The Times found.
That mistake could prevent people from casting votes in the June 7 presidential primary, California's most competitive in decades.

This probably makes June 7, game over time for the Sanders campaign. Voters thought independent mean independent, but in California it meant AIP, a RW political party.
