You can baste together the knit stitches around your column(s) of purl stitches to close up the faux seam and add the structure/rigidity of a real seam! That way you can have the benefits of the seam while still getting to knit in the round.

I think it might take a trans actor to identify and dig deep into the ugly parts of Musk. I suggest Elliot Page.

Having played in several co-ed ice hockey rec leagues, my experience is that the vast majority of us aren't skilled enough for physical differences to matter very much. Height and reach are useful, but that's about it.

There's actually a whole book about this. It's called "Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump" by Rick Reilly. And the thing is, like, it does.

To me, this read like pointedly saying nothing. "I got to know him," "we just met," "he negotiated," but no follow-up on whether those were actually pleasant experiences or what he was like as a person, beyond "funny."

I mean, in a normal world, "will negotiate with Democrats" wouldn't be praise, but here we are. Personally, I think "I got to know him" with no follow-up speaks volumes.

I actually thought this was pretty slick. She never actually says anything about liking him or thinking he was good. He was willing to talk and make jokes, and there were people in his life who might have cared about him. Sure. That's about as damning with faint praise as you can get.

Would buying a share give me standing to bring a derivative suit for fiduciary breaches like this, or have they somehow figured out how to get out of that too?

Okay but like why would disclosure of a President's tax returns destroy him? We've seen all the other ones since Nixon, and none of them were at risk of being destroyed. The only way it would be a problem would be if there were something untoward...

To me, that's the tragedy of Donald Trump. He NEEDS to be adored but doesn't get that people don't like to be treated cruelly and don't respect accomplishments he didn't actually achieve. He believes that he fundamentally deserves esteem, no matter what he does. What a sad, miserable little man.

Yes, he literally can't comprehend that other people aren't conniving and cheating. Even in golf, he'll move his ball in broad daylight or claim to win a tourney he didn't attend. It's why the admin was so sure they could prosecute Biden. They think the only difference is that Trump got caught.

Exactly! The whole point of blockers is to prevent kids from going through a puberty that will be wrong and distrsssing for them, which is exactly what these people claim they want to prevent. But somehow that doesn't matter if it's the "natural" puberty because something something bone density.

It is so important that no cis child ever mistakenly chooses to go through the wrong puberty that we must make absolutely sure that all trans kids will instead.

Loren @withano.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
The really insidious thing he's doing here is implying that doctors are foisting blockers and hormones on kids for "gender nonconformity," which is missing the important criteria of the kid actually wanting to be a different gender.

The Ghostbusters save New York City twice and the city's response is to sue them into poverty, restrain them from ghostbusting, and prosecute them before a judge who opens the trial by announcing he doesn't believe in ghosts. I have thoughts. They are legal thoughts. www.patreon.com/posts/151418...

The parent thing is why his salary and personal net worth don't tell the whole story. But at the same time, you see people acting like he's a Coppola, which overstates the level of his mother's financial success.

To be fair, his parents provided a strong safety net that most don't have, but even the family wealth isn't exactly "generational." Mira Nair is successful, but more to the tune of $20m than $200m. (I'm a lawyer in NYC so this is not a knock on Zohran.)

From your other comments it sounds like your problem is the insole. That's not a huge difference between skate types. The big thing imo is that figure skates are much stiffer in the ankle and have less room in the toe box.

I figure skated for 20+ years, competitively in college, and now play hockey in an adult intermediate rec league. No question hockey skates are easier to break in. All my figure skates took at least a month of regular skating, but I don't think I've ever even gotten a blister from my hockey skates.

I'll take things I never said for 200, Alex. I'm not going to deny that Hillary Clinton is too moderate and ran a shit campaign, but there is no world in which an HRC presidency turns out worse than what we got.
