My friend Mark Cho, co-founder of The Armoury, visited Lovat Mill in Scotland some years ago. He filmed this charming video with Lovat co-owner and design director Alan Cumming, who explains what goes into making tweed. You can see how many bright colors are used to make a "simple" earthy color.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.

There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

INTRODUCTION

The equities here could not be more one-sided. Defendants admit that they
provide a service without fully knowing how it works.

This is not just any service. It is one that Defendants themselves concede poses an existential risk to the continued
survival of humankind.

Defendants claim they cannot stop barreling forward with their potentially civilization-ending endeavors unless they are forced to do so by the
government. They have asked the government to tie them to the mast.

Plaintiff brings good news to the Defendants: The Florida Attorney General is answering your
cry for help with a motion to enjoin you from harming Floridians with your reckless, unacceptably risky product.

Maybe the reason the economic vibes are so off isn't that things are *worse* than the great recession but because back then we all thought the pain was temporary, whereas the things that are wrong with the economy today have all been getting worse for a long time and show no signs of improving

Little sketchbook guy walking down the stairs. Drawn today after waking up.

A small black and white ink sketch of a character walking down the stairs. They hold a flashlight in their hand to find their way in the surrounding darkness, but neither the light nor the environment that emerges makes much sense. The stairs spiral up over their head and circle back down like if they behaved according to some dream logic, only forming the proper stairs under the character's feet.

A few more photos of the Haunted Free Library (showing off the hinges & door design for @legendaryvermin.bsky.social ) - we’ve started populating it with books. For the grand opening, lots of these are new (or read once) - like stocking full candy bars for #Halloween #Horror #BookSky

A Little Free Library shaped like a black coffin with a red interior. A person with a pale hand holds open the door to show off the hinges and latch.

Interior of a black and red coffin shaped Little Free Library partially stocked with books. Works by Cherie Priest, Tananarive Due, Caitlin Starling & others are prominently displayed.

Full view of a black and red coffin shaped Little Free Library partially stocked with books. The door hangs open on cleverly angled hinges. A red and black sign is affixed to a small roof that keeps the rain off. The sign reads: Haunted Free Library. Take a book. Leave a book. Horror genre only. Share the scares.
