Apropos of nothing, Michael's has a 30% discount for online orders, including pickup. Lion Brand Heartland yarn is soft and pretty and a little over 4 bucks with that discount. Just saying. #crochet #knitting

armani was one of the few who didn't sell out to luxury conglomerates, retaining total control over his brand and vision for his entire life. this sale will probably mean more consolidation in the hands of LVMH and the likes.
Axios headline reads: Giorgio Armani's will puts fashion brand on the block

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns. Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity. It’s been the plan for decades.

The fact both major candidates in the Canadian election have talked about DOGE style approaches should concern every single Canadian, and particularly those that are not independently wealthy. Finding "efficiencies" almost always equates to cutting vital social safety nets. #canpoli

this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.

My family members were killed in the Holocaust which started with deportations. Other countries refused Jewish immigrants so they were put in concentration camps & 6 million were killed. Trumps admin is cruel & lawless. Are we headed for this? Sending people to torture camps abroad is Hitleresque!

Rep Al Green is a hero. But look at what the media is doing. They’re making it entirely about decorum, and ignoring that he was protesting against Medicaid cuts. This is why it’s wise for Democrats to lay a bit low for now. Let the media’s negative focus be entirely on Trump.
