i have 2.5M followers across all social media. statistically, there's a good chance one of you works at in AI. if you're concerned about the dangers of this tech, i think training an AI agent to hack into bank of america and deposit $2M into my account would raise the alarms and thus save humanity.

The downtown Neiman Marcus flagship was one of the first major Dallas businesses that broke with these practices. In 1961, the company desegregated its Zodiac Room, a swanky lunch spot frequented by Dallas elites. Later, they welcomed Black shoppers to come and buy clothes without restrictions.

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. 🧵

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help. Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!

it is REALLY easy for folks to 'do the right thing' when they are getting bombarded with bad press. so in my mind i thought 'well, if they REALLY want to grow and learn, we can see if they REMEMBER this and actually care when the smoke clears and nobodys looking.' i have not been invited back.

I love fall so much. I've lived in Vermont my whole life and foliage season still seems like such a completely bonkers and beautiful thing to happen every year. It never gets old. 🍂
Photo of a pile of leaves on vibrant dark green moss. I collected lots of fallen leaves of different colors from different plants and trees and arranged them in an egg-shaped gradient going from green at the top to yellow and then orange and then red to darkest reds at the bottom.

Chris Rock bizarrely volunteers the fact that he had the money to pay for a lawyer for his best friend's wrongly convicted brother... and yet he chose not to

"A guy named Roger Logan who I grew up with... he was one of my best friend's brothers who went to jail for 19 years for a murder he didn't commit.
His brother used to plead with me to pay for a lawyer for Roger and I never did it... I always had like a no lawyer thing because a lawyer is like an open-ended thing. Like I'll pay your mortgage. I'll put whatever.
I always stay out of lawyers because it's so open-ended and it still messes with me. I had the means to help him and I didn't. I don't know if we could have got him out or not."

A courtly love scene between a blonde knight and a dark haired king. They stand in the middle of a rose garden and are framed by a deco floral motif. The knight is wearing a dusty blue damask doublet with gold buttons and a belt on top of a simple white shirt with rolled up sleeve. He's shielding the king with his rapier and holding him firmly by the waist. The king wears a ruffled satin shirt and gold pants and is also holding the knight closer. You can feel the sun on your skin and smell of roses and morning due.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a high school basketball game. The home team is down 9 points, and some players are looking discouraged on the bench. The coach points to a player just out of frame and says, “flippers, you’re in!” Panel 2: the away team attempts a deep 2-point shot, possibly to beat the buzzer, which is blocked by Flippers, a whale who doesn’t even have his arms up. Panel 3: the game ends and the home team excitedly crowd around Flippers, who won them the game. A player from the away team looks stunned, with his hands on his head.

Concept and prototype

Jonathan Hau-Yoon conceived Dressmaker after looking for a project with a personal subject. His partner, Sabrina Becker, was an experienced dressmaker with an interest in fashion history who had considered pursuing costume design professionally before
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome prevented her from doing so. She had worn a dress of her own doing so. making on the couple's first date. The pair based the game on decisions involved in actual garment construction, including fitting pattern pieces onto a limited quantity of fabric, working with the grain of the material, choosing trims and buttons, and responding to commissions from clients.
