I am willing to give one of these a go if somebody else makes one for me, but I think there must be more to the sleeves. Loose, open sleeves and beehives Do Not Mix.
I think medieval beekeeper outfits could be the strongest look in the entire history of fashion.

the ~emails~ have me thinking once again about how cishet white dudes will say the worst guys in history are "nice guys, he's a good guy!" because they've had some pleasant conversations and the actual standard of being a Good Guy is whether they can be kind to someone who's NOT a cishet white guy

the point of camo for a soldier is to obscure their position from the enemy. camo in an urban environment is completely different, and this forest green or desert pattern is functionally useless.

what gets me about so many AI tools right now is that they're tasks that *do not require AI*. I'm old enough to remember when programmers cared about minimizing the amount of processing power their tools required!!
Google is infusing AI into just about every part of online shopping: browsing for products, calling local stores to ask about inventory (!!), and actually purchasing the item for you. This is a warning shot to influencers and news orgs doing buying guides:
www.theverge.com/news/819431/...
www.theverge.com/news/819431/...
Google will let users call stores, browse products, and check out using AI
There have never been more options for things to buy. Google is betting AI is how shoppers will make decisions.

Don't cross the picket line! Buy your lattes at local cafes instead.
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.
Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.
Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.
