Any discourse about the justifiability of a riot or violent protest should understand where the bar is set.
The Straw Hat Riot of 1922 was a riot that occurred in New York City at the end of summer as a result of unwritten rules in men's fashions at the time, and a tradition of taunting people who had failed to stop wearing straw hats after autumn began. Originating as a series of minor riots, it spread due to youths choosing to harass men wearing straw hats past the unofficial date that was deemed socially acceptable, September 15. It lasted eight days, leading to many arrests and some injuries.

“You do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate…I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them."

Your brain on pro-genocide Zionism: Anti-Zionist Hasidic Rebbes are now "bad Jews." He all but calls the Satmar Rebbe antisemitic. This is what happens when you replace Judaism with Zionism. Antisemitism loses any meaning - which in turn puts Jews in danger from actual antisemitism.

"@sidrosenberg19

This is a HUGE mistake!!! This Rabbi is a TERRIBLE guy and has no right being anywhere near @POTUS! This Rabbi sucks off @NYCMayor at every opportunity and has more than once screwed the good Jews! Come on Marty! You can't do this! Please!!!! I kill this guy and @rabbiindig on my show all the time! The worst Jews have to offer!!!"

If you haven’t heard, @trufelman.bsky.social and I started a new podcast about fashion and philosophy. Each month, we read canonical text — Voltaire, Rousseau, Hegel — and talk about how the author's ideas help us understand why we dress the way we do.

Finally got around the listening to this episode – I highly recommend reading this substack post and listening to the podcast episode. So much interesting history that I wasn’t aware of as Chinese diaspora whose exposure to Chinese history is mostly through pop culture. (Brb saving for a Songmont.)

Below are images of a variety of men, including Rocky Balboa, Snake, a guy from Top Gun, Jesse from Breakint Bad I think sorry I have faceblindness, and one of the It’s Always Sunny characters, among other white men in jackets

To the right of the split screen is a safe green fleece zip-up designed for military use. Captioned beneath it reads: “YES. YES IT IS”

Excited to announce I started a podcast with my friend @trufelman.bsky.social, where we read classic philosophical works and discuss what they can teach us about why we buy, wear, and value the things we do. It’s basically a podcast for people who love clothes, books, and big ideas.
