You might be able to find something among women's sweater blazers (& coordinating pants) if you're willing and able to do that. (They exist for men, just not as common.) Jersey is actually the construction of the fabric; it's knit, not woven, but it can be any fiber. www.talbots.com/sweater-blaz...

Maybe they’re trying to destroy every “liberal” studio from the inside so the only ones left are those that make Hallmark Christmas movies and the “Left Behind” series. (That seems like an awful lot of forethought for them, though)

I'm surprised she's not talking about elevating Carlson and Fuentes, actually.

I think one reason a good-sized chunk of people liked it was due to when it was released at the beginning of Trump 1, and the Jyn Erso speech quoting Saw Gerrera about one fighter with a sharp stick was galvanizing. St. Crispin’s Day speech in space

I once saw a woman on the T in Boston eating a rotisserie chicken with her hands and watching a video on her phone. I don't think alcohol was involved

Ahaha as someone interested in perfumes and knowing how L'Oreal has destroyed so many storied houses (Yves Saint Laurent for one), this might be incredibly bad news for Nvidia.

I tried. I sent a note saying I was puzzled by the decision with a link to a Nieman Lab article about people like Anne Helen Petersen leaving Substack. Got a polite response but I don’t think I swayed anything

And 75 mls, so it's more reasonable than, say, Guerlain's l'Art et la Matière line. (Please tell me you're getting a bottle!)

I’ve knit with qiviut (the yarn produced from gathering the undercoat when they shed it) and it’s so soft and warm!

Considering how consistently RWers miss the point of books they’ve supposedly read (LOTR, sci fi, the freakin’ Bible), I don’t think it clicked for even one person

Slippery marble floors also seems like an odd choice for someone who seems to have mobility issues (and it doesn’t look like it was designed for accessibility in general)

Okay, maybe that's a _slight_ exaggeration for the niche brands, but Nicolai has Oud Sublime for $680/35ml and Boadicea's Resplendent is $1880/100ml.

Not that far off from some niche prices… (And yes, I’m willing to make the same bargain!)

Also the fact that said Senator about 2 weeks ago was pushing to not have a "divisive primary" and just allow his favored white guy candidate to go ahead with the nom is...not a great look.

Pamplemousse Rose might work! Hmm, I should also have her try Rhubarbe Écarlate. I gave her some Pamplelune with the hope the patchouli wasn’t that noticeable for her, and she didn’t flee in horror.

Dior Addict Eau Fraiche. She says it doesn’t last as long and it seems simpler than when she first started wearing it. I’m trying to help her find something else but it’s hard to find long-lasting yet light grapefruit/citrus.

Related to reformulations, one of my (non-perfume obsessed) friends has noticed what Dior's doing to their perfumes. (I went on a mini-rant about that.)
