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.

Wtaf is this question my university just asked me about my project?
Does the project involve any work that could be interpreted as promoting DEIA, climate change research, or non-compliant to any Presidential Executive Orders?

Sometimes a drug trip is a profound experience where you realize that you’ve been carrying pain in your heart for years, that you can forgive yourself. Other times you come up with a concept called “gay money” (money that’s gay) and you text your friend “gay money” days later. Both are healing. ❤️‍🩹

Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.

Dr. Paula Hammond is Dean of the School of Engineering at MIT. She creates super-thin nanoparticles (1,000X smaller than the width of a human hair) by stacking layers of materials--layers that can be programmed to deliver cancer drugs & much more. She was born #OTD in 1963. #WomenInSTEM (1/2) 🧵
A vibrant, professional color portrait of Paula T. Hammond, the distinguished American chemical engineer, materials scientist, and MIT Institute Professor, captured in 2023. She sits with arms crossed in a relaxed yet confident pose against a warm, softly lit dark background, exuding warmth, intelligence, and quiet authority. Dr. Hammond, a Black woman with short, neatly styled dark hair and wears elegant maroon cat-eye glasses that frame her bright, engaging eyes and welcoming smile. She is dressed in a rich orange halter-neck blouse with a draped bow at the neckline, complemented by gold jewelry: a large bracelet on one wrist, a delicate watch on the other, and a prominent ring on her right hand. The warm lighting highlights her radiant expression and the subtle texture of her outfit, conveying a sense of approachability and deep expertise. The image captures her as a trailblazing leader in nanoscale materials engineering—pioneering layer-by-layer assembly for targeted drug delivery in cancer treatment, tissue regeneration, and advanced energy storage—while serving as Dean of MIT's School of Engineering and recipient of the 2025 National Medal of Technology and Innovation. The portrait radiates inspiration, resilience, and the joy of scientific discovery.

My friend Olle loves to leave me with a memory every time I visit Gimmelwald. Last time, we harnessed up and did the via ferrata (Italian for “iron way”), a 3-hour trek across the cliff between Mürren and Gimmelwald. This time it was tandem paragliding over the Lauterbrunnen Valley.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Today marks 250 years since a small group of newspaper editors, farmers, and soldiers signed a document declaring our nation's independence — a truth that feels self-evident now but was revolutionary then.
What a privilege us Americans have, to live in a nation that every one of its inhabitants can shape. What an honor us New Yorkers have, to look out over our city's waters from the shores where so many Americans bravely entered their country for the first time.
Today and all days, let us remember that patriotism is not pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is every act of righteous dissent — because loving our country means fighting for the best version of it.
Happy Fourth of July, New York City.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Photos of newly arrived immigrants at Ellis Island. Augustus Sherman took the photos between 1902 and 1920 when he worked as the Chief Registry Clerk. Striking to me how the outfits all look good because they have a discernible silhouette (shape and drape).
Two photo. The first is of a Romanian piper; the second is of three Georgians who were employees of the "Buffalo Bill Wild West Show."

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.
