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.

There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it.

A swatch book of solid-colored tweeds. The green tweed has visible flecks of red, gold, and blue.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Mays was used to this. He was so fast, he knew that enormous outfield so well, that he would sometimes purposely break to the ball late just to challenge himself.

his list of crimes is so extensive and terrible that this is fairly low down on it but it is obscene that this man has built a massive campaign war chest and is so determined to steal it for himself that he’s using taxpayer money on these self-soothing ads

this is a fine piece but i think it's missing a crucial ingredient, and yeah it's a cliché for a millennial to say this on bluesky but whatever: GENDER, and the connection between empire and fetishized depictions of supposedly distinctly masculine virtues.

Aside from Esposito’s performance, the thing I think about when Breaking Bad (the number 1 show on the Times list) crosses my mind is Anna Gunn’s op-ed asking men to please not be misogynistic dickheads towards her character. web.archive.org/web/20140115...

What's hard about public policy is weighing the trade offs. For example, something sucks really bad and everyone hates it, but on the other hand several evil trillionaires think it's good. What are you supposed to do in that situation

The absence of the word “impeach” here is a moral failure. Just a complete abdication of her constitutional responsibility.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.
