Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Oh shit the White Sox are literally on a mission from God

Letter to Jerry Reinsdorf from the pope

I was pleased to receive the kind letter that you
sent
following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Leo PXIV

holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

I had an internship at WDW in 2001. Most of my role involved being on stage. I was working the queue at Living with the Land and was relived by a young female colleague, where I saw an elderly man in a wheelchair strait-up grope her buttocks as he was wheeled by, plain as day.

I am not an expert, but I used to sell suits and suit separates in college. It's not rocket science: mostly color to compliment skin tone and desired fit, at least at our price point. If I dressed a customer that well, I would have made an announcement on the intercom for my coworkers to come look.

Rotisserie chicken soup. It's fantastic. Head to Sam's or Costco for a chicken, remove the meat and set aside. Then take the rest of the carcass, bones, skin, everything, along with the ends of all your aromatic veggies that you want to enjoy in the soup to make stock in the pressure cooker.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.
