I’m trying to figure out whether the fact that this photo is exactly the kind of thing people want to use “AI" for and it looks like very bad Photoshop is intentional. Is it a dig? Is it supposed to be ironic? Genuinely I do not understand. I assumed at first it was not a real cover.

I agree. I don’t get it either. My fear is that so many of my fellow Americans ARE that stupid. And it’s getting worse.

I am neither male nor in any way associated with the fashion industry, except that I do wear clothes. Regardless, these long threads are so interesting and informative and I wish I knew of someone doing something similar with women’s wear.
Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable."
I will show you why this rarely leads to good outfits. 🧵

“Politicians, for partisan purposes, lied to supporters about widespread fraud," Brennan Center prez Michael Waldman told me. "The supporters believe the lies & then that belief creates this rationale for the politicians to say, 'Well, I know it’s not really true, but look how worried everybody is'"

Don’t let the fashion talk fool you: this thread is an incredibly interesting economics lesson.
I found this reply interesting ("Can those foreign companies open shop in the US?")
I don't think Japanese or South Korean menswear can be made in the US. At least, not without losing something. Let's explore why. 🧵

The science and research budget cuts happening now are wanton, senseless arson. Recovery, if it ever happens, will take generations.
