I see that sort of thing on Instagram but usually it's in a pick-me forever alone misogyny way

Huh. That's interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that would be a problem. Maybe you need to go thrifting somewhere with a higher population of fat people, cos I'm a pretty hefty man and there's a lot of womens clothes I can get into in thrift shops around me. Though I guess it depends on the item.

What I can never find is anything stylish from the 70's that fit me other than jackets. People just didn't go to the gym back then, and if they did they weren't the ones with any sort of fashion inclination.

I would never buy Shein but I've felt the fabrics and it feels like ASOS. H + M is shite too. It's all shite. Not to mention the air miles and water usage. With the amount of clothes in the world there is practically no reason to not buy secondhand clothes most of the time.

Same goes for Mao iirc. The people wanted to lynch mob the landlords.

Shein makes absolute shite, it's completely run of the mill fast fashion. Cheap, synthetic, and above all else, completely tasteless.

People with consumption addictions buy Shein garbage to use for one night out, and repeat that week after week. I would not believe such behaviour existed had I not witnessed myself.

Fuck knows where and how they do their labour but I would assume it's poverty wages in tough conditions somewhere in the process.

Eh. Gendering it is weird, but with modern life expectancies an increase in pension age is I suppose expected.

This is probably a stupid idea, but I think beyond 60ish we should all be funnelled into roles as stewards of the land. Paid til retirement. Send out a relaxed patrol of older folk with rubbish claws, hedge trimmers, jet washers. No productivity targets or anything. Park ranger type of thing. Have them going about in their golf carts keeping an eye on things, giving out water refills, spreading seeds, collecting scientific data about bugs and whatnot. Rotate the activities. Their job is to make the world whimsical and beautiful. You can't tell me old people wouldn't love that shit. I would love it, even.

People would absolutely love them too. Imagine a bunch of sweet older folk come down and make your street look great. I'd be leaving snacks out for them. Maybe a bugle call for their arrival.

you just know this guy thinks he's VERY SMART because he reads 'advanced' newspapers

EDIT: turns out he's the senior technology editor for The Atlantic

 

'An advertisement warning that U.S. fighter jets were ready to respond to provocations showed up on a dating app in Lebanon.

The warning appeared online last week in Arabic beneath pictures of U.S. warplanes: “Do not take up arms against the United States or its partners,” it said, noting that America “will protect its partners in the face of threats from the Iranian regime and its proxies.”

And to underscore the message: Central Command is “fully prepared” and ready to employ F-16 and A-10 aircraft “currently in the region.”

Séamus Malekafzali, a freelance journalist based in Lebanon, encountered Tinder advertisements purportedly from U.S. Central Command warning against joining Iranian-backed militants on Aug. 22. This ad was linked to a Central Command post on X, Malekafzali said.

 

why the fuck have they all glommed onto 'brat' so hard? It's unlike anything I've seen before.

 

Skip through it. Fuck me it's bad. Those poor kids.

 
 

Couldn't be worse this one. Can't believe it's real. Pelosi then made a speech about cooking dosa with Kamala Harris.

Similar story all over Britain. Fuck sake.

 

Using an old 'gravity slate train' and an engine, he uses the tracks in the timetabled trains downtime. What a time to be alive. And gravity trains too: https://youtu.be/-A7sZVgct3E
