'We have to keep the focus on tariffs' — folks, the cashier at Safeway has that covered. You are free to talk about the innocent men we've sent to a foreign gulag and the lie it gives to Trump's posturing on his main issue if you so choose. History will mark it if you don't.

I have less than 20 pages left in my reread of middlemarch and I am literally trying to find any way to draw it out. I don't want to be done. I can't survive without George Eliot in wise narrator mode to comfort me

Menswear guy knows Argentine noir?!?!
In The Bitter Stems (1956), Carlos Cores plays a failed reporter. We know he's not a particularly successful man in this scene because of the poor fit of his shirt collar and sloppiness of his tie knot. Yet, he looks great. Why? Look at the shaping of this coat (e.g. lapel roll)

Currently reading the Words of Radiance scene where kaladin and zahel and adolin are fighting while renarin repeatedly jumps off the roof in the background. This is art
