when you dig into the history of menswear, you find the same stories repeated. men who moralize traditional aesthetics rarely consider how their "tradition" was considered a corruption by an earlier generation, who wore things hated by people before them IG the_art_of_dress

the world has changed

@.Negrosaki007 / crenshawpete2148 has since reached out to me and explained himself and I'm afraid I jumped the gun. We agree I had ample reason to be suspicious, but I have to emphatically rescind my callout, please don't hold it against him, i fucked up here too - I'm sorry.

There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...

The Department of War aims to put Google Gemini 'directly into the hands of every American warrior.'

THIS is what AI can't replace. A show we might have fond memories of was part of the creators' life story as well. There is emotional resonance in human creation. Through it, artists reach out to say, "This is how I feel. This is what I want you to understand." And we, in conversation, feel back.

For anyone saying "it was all 50 years ago".

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

It's so fucking stupid. It's so fucking enraging. Russia got kicked out no problem upon starting a war, but noooo we gotta have pop music from the apartheid and genocide state. Fuck me.

the world is an assortment of various nuts and im allergic to nuts much to think about

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

the entire economy is ai data centers and gambling your life savings on real life tragedies and events

Lithgow saying that a family friend with a trans kid came to him and literally said “please don’t do this” and he did it anyway really gives the game away. they don’t not know

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Demon: a togore comic

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

In 2024 I investigated many similar accounts that posted very similar types of content, claiming to be ‘Trump supporting women’ from the US, but they were fake accounts using images stolen from European influencers. The findings were reported here 👇 edition.cnn.com/2024/08/28/e...
