As a side note, having spent way too much time moderating on the internet myself, there is a absolutely a type of admin/mod who sees themselves as different and above the rabble because of their role and spend way too much time in secret mod chats talking about their userbase. Personally I can't deal with debating issues with people when a big "I can ban you" badge hangs over my username but i've seen too many people whose online persona hinges on it and it's very unhealthy.

The Baloch Liberation Army and ISIS-K somehow grew significantly since 2022 when they started targeting Chinese workers in Afghanistan and Pakistan

They fucked up when they forced Putin to run an economy instead of just a more managed form of oligarchic looting

Enzo Fernandez has 7 (SEVEN) black French teammates at Chelsea and is on contract until at least 2030 alongside most of them, genuinely the dumbest footballer of all time.

Surviving an assassination and forcing a public Biden appearance? He really can't lose.

It's wild how the UK still has FPTP despite having multiple third parties with double digit percentages. It's not even like America where 95% vote D or R, Labour and the Tories are on 55% combined.

Twitter suit guy may be annoying but his series on developing your own style from the ground up is great:

Everything is contextual to an aesthetic. A hundred years ago, the scope for good taste—what Bourdieu would describe as legitimate taste—was confined to the taste of the ruling class. That is no longer the case today. This means rules about colors, silhouettes, proportions, and other such ideas are contextual to the aesthetic you’re trying to create. I’ve written some posts about how to think about silhouettes and color. But whenever a reader emails me to ask whether black pairs with blue or if a particular garment fits correctly, I feel that, in today’s culturally open world, you have to start with the aesthetic, not compartmentalize things as universal rules. This is partly why some guys who favor classic tailored clothing struggle with casualwear—they try to transport cultural ideas about suits and sport coats to very different aesthetics, such as workwear or sportswear. Sometimes rules can stretch across aesthetic spaces (like ideas linking romantic languages); sometimes, they do not (like trying to apply English grammar rules to Chinese). Derive your rules from aesthetics and your aesthetics from culture.
