Could be! On the one above, don’t the front belt loops look like they’re different distances from CF? Also, as I’m digging through their ads I’m getting more suspicious.

Ooooh, I think it is. That’s a button hole on the right front where we should see the backside of a sewn button.

Hey fam, do we think this photo is AI slop?

This 1899 ad for men’s corsets is real, and it’s spectacular.

It’s like, “I’ve got it! We’ll butch up the corset by naming them all after British Field Marshals!!”

Liberalism has *always* been “of the left.”

The left-right spectrum analogy was literally invented to describe liberal revolutionaries vs. defenders of the status quo.

Guys, I made it onto WWD!

(If you’ve never heard of WWD, I get it! I’ve heard it described best as like Vogue but for people who sell fashion instead people who buy fashion.)

Ignoring the fact that he’s the nepo-baby of a millionaire politician, imagine being able to put yourself through college with a part-time entry-level job!

I can’t explain why, but the dead foursome from The Good Place will always be bi-coded to me.

Probably just because of how gratuitously hot they all were.

A definitive (personal) tier ranking of Zelda games I’ve finished (so far!)

Holy fuck

Not trying to start Superman discourse, which looks like a fun and competently made movie if you’re up for that sort of thing, but is it right to count a 2.5/4 review as “good”?

That’s 63%! A D-minus!

The tab patch on this idiot's shoulder is modeled after the Army's Ranger tab, which most would consider a kinda tough-to-get credibility signal in the Army.

I don't know what "bortac" is but it sounds stupid, like the rest of this guy's outfit.

This is pure cosplay.

We don’t have to be like this. Other countries aren’t like this.

Some personal news!

I’ve been accepted to FIT’s MFA Fashion Design program starting in the fall.

Never in my whole life have I heard someone on the left say anything like this about people from conservative-voting areas.

It’s been a very good (and very gay) year of theater so far!

The thing about Soviet grocery stores is that they were the only stores and they often didn’t have much…food.

If an NYC-operated store offered the items you wanted in a competitive and convenient manner, why wouldn’t you shop there? Will the food taste different? Will it be full of woke?

No, what’s stunning is the NYT not calling it for Mamdani like they would for any candidate with an insurmountable lead prior to 100% of the votes being tallied.

In RCV, votes transfer from and towards ideologically aligned candidates. Zohran’s lead will only grow.

Cuomo’s conceded! Call the race!

Having experienced elections in Cambridge, MA for a decade, it’s going to be super fun to watch NYC discover the power of slates and feeder candidates in Ranked Choice Voting.

Co-worker: “Do anything fun this weekend?”

Me, in my head: (“Hmm…sold some jocks, made cute underwear for me and the bf, saw a play called Prince Faggot, danced in cute underwear until 4am, went to brunch, went to the protest, watched Gilded Age”)

Me, out loud: “Oh, not much. Brunch. Gilded Age.”

Fun facts!

Iran’s population today is about 3.5x bigger than Iraq’s was in 2003.

Iran is also about 4x the size of Iraq.

Just something to keep in mind when people are talking about regime change.
