Zohran Mamdani never taking off the suit is really funny and also I think genuinely a really good bit of personal branding. He is to some degree making himself a character by always having the same costume on, with occasional modifiers

Obama was the guy in college you’d ask to walk you home after a party and Trump was the guy who was the reason you wanted an escort home.

Hell yeah 👏🏽

"Looser rules don't mean no rules." I have to wonder what these people wore to their interviews, because I wouldn't hire someone who seemed ignorant or dismissive of industry norms, sartorial or otherwise. Maybe they were on Zoom? www.wsj.com/style/fashio...

LOL'd at this headline, a question I have had cause to ask collectors many times, most recently yesterday.

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

A new granite walkway. Refinishing the wall to glue those hideous gold accents. Trump claimed he was paying for all of it. He lied. They’ve been looting the National Parks.

Your turn, rest of world....

“We do a Watergate twice a day” is a crazy way to confess your own corruption…

Kind of wish I didn't already have plans for the 4th because what do you mean my local historic theater is having a free screening of NATIONAL TREASURE??!! 🇺🇸

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

In the 4 years since Roe v Wade was overturned there have been over 400 pregnancy related prosecutions. Maternal mortality is up 33% nationwide and 50% in some states. We are being criminalized and murdered. That’s the legacy of Dobbs

Jordyn Woods’s orange clutch bag has been seen as a lucky charm for Knicks fans and players. It is now going to be exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum.

not seeing enough Sly Stone references regarding that wedding at MSG. do better, bluesky nerds!

You could have asked any landscaping expert for a comment. Respect to the reporter who went to Four Seasons Total Landscaping. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built. Think about that. At a time when electricity demand is rising,

In the run-up to Independence Day I thought I’d share some Bicentennial-themed sewing patterns from the Blue Door Sewing Pattern Archive. All the U.S. pattern companies produced Bicentennial patterns. Here’s Vogue 1468.

Still not clear on the difference between political asylum and mental asylums, I see. What a colossal embarrassment.

In honor of Scotland’s historic World Cup run and status as America’s tipsy sweethearts, let’s look at the fashion history behind the Tartan Army’s uniform. The name itself comes from a worsted wool fabric in a twill weave with a distinctive geometric pattern (or sett), erroneously called plaid.

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

I do love the idea of an ensemble. Pieces that mix and match with each other in the same fabric but interchangeable garments. I have yet to reach such sartorial heights myself so instead admire from afar this 1950s Carolyn Schnurer set @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I've turned down offers of much-needed money to write stories that might put me and my family in the literal crosshairs of people like this. And I write about *fashion.*

Medieval floor tile from St. Andrew’s Priory in Northampton depicting a pair of shears; probably a reference to the textile trade. Now part of the collections at Northampton Museum & Art Gallery. 📸 My own. #TilesOnTuesday #Northampton

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

EXCLUSIVE: Eli Lilly gave compassionate use access to retatrutide, their unapproved powerful obesity drug, to a 79-year-old man in April. The application was arranged by a top doctor at NIH, and cleared by the FDA. www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/e...

This one killed me today.

When the Reflecting Pool was replenished after a $14 million-plus renovation, ducks quickly took to the water. But then dead ducks were found nearby. The carcasses found in Constitution Gardens will undergo necropsies to determine cause of death.

The poll of 3,000 adults nationwide found that 80% think the United States puts too little emphasis on civic education, or the teaching of government and democracy. A majority (51%) said the country’s focus on civic education is much too little.

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Yves Saint Laurent launched a series of knit dresses inspired by paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Published in Vogue Paris, 1965. #YvesSaintLaurent #60sFashion #Vogue

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms. ‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms. But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

And lace, and fur, and embroidery, and muffs.... #Pride

i think the reflecting pool has gone from “haha what a dumb ass” to “appointing a horse to the senate” level of story here

Jaime Black, Métis artist from Winnipeg, created The REDress Project to highlight all the aboriginal women in Canada who have been murdered or are missiing #WomensArt

Solidarity with these interns! ✊🏽 It's not just the right and ethical thing to do because the labor of interns has worth and deserves respect, but because we know unpaid and underpaid jobs in public service create an economic barrier that excludes those who cannot afford to work for free.

Somewhere between 1700 and 1800, someone wore this waistcoat and looked, presumably, very well dressed indeed. The front is cream corded silk covered in a lattice of metal thread embroidery. Twelve bone buttons covered in cloth, shallow pockets. The kind of thing you'd wear to be seen in.
