TOTALLY WAITING FOR YOU TO FUCK UP AND USE THE WRONG FORK

A thread with ridiculous but adorable 16th-century fashion, starting with Catherine of Mecklenburg (1487-1561).
She was a German author and Duchess of Saxony.
In 1560, she published a book on etiquette for ladies, today an interesting historical document.
Portrait by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
🧵
Over a plain black background, a white woman with pensive-angry eyes is standing, modelling a loud, complex, golden dress. Wide sleeves, with some added volume on the elbows and shoulders. More golden falls on her, with a multilayered chain necklace, and a hat that is hard to describe, made un with triangular pieces of also golden fabric, and three golden pendants with varied precious stones.

From this week’s newsletter, some words on the concept of a “heat check.” Read it all: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/157-jennifer...
Does everybody know about the concept of a "heat check?" It's a basketball term referring to a player who has hit a a few shots in a row and decides to test the strength of their momentum by launching another shot from exceptional distance, or while off-balance, or in the face of smothering defense. It's a useful framework for extra-basketball behavior as well. Damien Chazelle following up Whiplash and La La Land with the chaotic and far-ranging Babylon was a heat check. Meghan Markle launching a line of jams was a heat check. Any athlete who puts out a rap song...heat check. I bring this up because on Tuesday night I witnessed possibly the greatest heat check of my life. It was well after midnight, and an exuberant lingered crowd on the sidewalk outside of the Paramount in Brooklyn, the site of Zohran Mamdani's official post-election party. A DJ with a powerful bluetooth speaker was buoying the already effervescent mood with a wide range of songs. He caused a borderline frenzy by throwing on "All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled featuring a bunch of actual artists. He followed up the 21st century's preeminent Jock Jam (unofficial) with the Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" which is a song made for bar mitzvahs and movie montages of friends having a great night out that doesn't include club drugs. It was a little corny, sure, but it kept a sense of millennial optimism going. The crowd, who had previously been turning up to some Middle Eastern dance music I didn't recognize was now shouting: "Mazel tov!"

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

“Land of Sunshine,” a magazine dedicated to California boosterism, once ran a contest for selling subscriptions in which the grand prize was a 10 acre fig orchard. Bring back fig orchard contests, bring back journalism, simple as.

Flaming Hydra is a coop. All you can do with your share is sell it back to the coop (for $1), and nobody can have more than one.

You have to be ready for growth to take a long time. Journalism is a public trust that should be accountable to readers alone, and that means readers alone pay for it.

How does one invest in left-wing media without a far-right billionaire coming along in a few years, buying said media, and remodeling it in his own image?

That seems to be a recurring problem.
