"stick to menswear"

Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion.""

I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?"

Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?"

I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

I'm not sure where this trump-Musk feud is going to lead. I'm waiting for Chris Cillizza to weigh in before I make up my mind.

So what are the odds that trump and Elon will have a falling out, trump will kick him out of his quasi-government role, the rightwing obeisance machine will turn on him -- and then people across the political spectrum will hate him? He'll still have tech bros and crypto bros, but it's a good start!

I predict that if inflation doesn't come down voluntarily, it will be detained *and* locked out of the White House briefing room.

Rep Zephyr’s speech flips 13 GOPs, trans bills die in Montana Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate. But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win. Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

Seems like the fastest way to get Elon kicked wayyy out of any position of authority in this government is to call him President Musk a lot.

Spend less than you earn -- however little you earn -- and save it. Start now. Build an emergency fund and save for retirement. (And spare me the hard luck stories. I paid off my student loans at 49, clean my own house, and have never used DoorDash.)

I spoke with my bank today about some recent fraudulent purchases on my credit card. As part of the process, they asked if I suspected anyone specific, and I said, "Donald Trump." The service rep thought that sounded about right.

This is juvenile clickbait from the Gray Lady. Serious question: Who is the last president of the US who did *not* matter -- for good or ill? I'm guessing it's William Henry Harrison.

What's the actual threat here? Not conviction, I don't think. Discovery and testimony would be nightmares for trump. The bigger threats are likely to be financial hardship via the need for legal representation and character assassination -- which could also hurt prospects for gainful employment.

My biggest issue with AI evangelism in our industry is that it treats creativity like a problem to be solved, and not an adventure to be had.

To go from Bob Menendez to Andy Kim is one of the single greatest leaps in legislator quality in American history. From a comically corrupt, gold-bar-hiding grifter to a guy who is so decent that he got down on his knees to help clean the Capitol Rotunda after January 6th.

if this is true, the continued takeoff of Bluesky would be a matter of world-historical significance: the contrived decline in referral traffic to news sites from social media platforms is a load-bearing aspect of our currently screwed up information ecosystem

Remember too the absurdly leaky first trump administration, where every little bootlicker was trying to curry favor and advantage by backstabbing their neighbors. That's what you get by appointing "only the best" petty crooks.

The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵

Tweet says: Last year, Anton wrote about his strained relationship with Gorka, which in Anton’s account stemmed from Gorka irritating senior White House staff by exaggerating his own role in writing a speech Trump delivered in his first term. Anton said he was charged with clarifying to the media that Gorka did not draft the speech, an act that culminated in Gorka calling Anton a “coward” and scolding him in a Fox News green room, according to his account.

Anton did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while Gorka told The Post: “I don’t comment to the fake failing news."

Anton expected to be in contention for other administration jobs

This article is so embarrassing, @washingtonpost.com Its frame of reference is entirely the *debate*, when it ought to separate the facts from the fear and fiction and offer a conclusion.

Hadn’t pegged Dawkins for literally the stupidest person in the world, but this is an immediate first ballot contender for dumbest sentiment ever committed to print.

I take (possibly forlorn) hope in the fact that although Trump is a mendacious, malevolent, transparently evil man, and stupid with it, Musk is not. He is highly intelligent and, diametrically opposed to Trump, he has the welfare of the world at heart.
