Overwhelmed? Sad? Frustrated? I recommend you look at my dog for a while.

@Sothebys Amazing!

A map of the ancient world, artfully rendered in mid-century Geneva. This Patek Philippe Reference 605 HU is the only known example of its kind, placing it among the most significant world time pocket watches ever created by the Swiss maison. Manufactured in 1948 and sold in 1954, it stands as a compelling emblem of the brand’s mid-century ingenuity and savoir-faire. The dial center, exquisitely executed in cloisonné enamel, depicts the “Ancient Continents” — a scene seldom encountered, even among the most seasoned collectors. Heading to #SothebysHongKong’s “Important Watches” live sale on 24 April, the timepiece will make its auction debut after decades in private hands. It is estimated between HKD 10,000,000–20,000,000. Luxury Week is presented by Standard Chartered.

More cruel layoffs. Legacy radio getting shuttered. A reporter-free newsroom. Journalism is getting gutted brick by brick today, my god.

Maybe what you're really supposed to do is come work with us in New Orleans. Good job opportunity for a reporter at the Times-Picayune. Details: journalismjobs.com/1692782-genera…

Someone should tell them they look like that. Not all the time, but certainly sometimes. Just like everyone else.

“His pictograms are open enough to invite broad identification, but precise enough to carry critiques of racism, authoritarianism, nuclear threat, homophobia, consumerism, drug dependency and later the devastation of AIDS. He did not separate ethics from aesthetics.” trib.al/bUAzm8J

The dinergoth piece was bad. it was also wrong. When he got to the part about where this is happening… I call bullshit. That’s not a common aesthetic in Maine. It’s really not. That’s not the look of the downwardly mobile. He’s wrong and knows nothing.

I can confirm that the "6-6-6" rule of what women want is 100% true: we want 6 piping mozzarella sticks at 6 p.m. after working hard all day at a stable 6-figure job. #women #men #dating #whatwomenwant

@kramerposts What I always say to those people is: go to any airport and look around. In under a minute, you will be 100 percent disabused of the notion that only the hottest people partner up.

I feel like every time I go to the farmers market I see a dozen different couples that defy all the false dating narratives online… the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen holding hands with a guy a foot shorter than her, a freakish male model gym specimen who targets muscles you don’t even know exist paired up with the quirky and slightly overweight shy girl… real lovers, at scale, are operating on levels of mutual curiosity and connection that no narrative could ever hope to encompass, for all real lovers know that romance is about expanding your reality together, not shrinking it to fit inside of a shallow and reductive cultural narrative. The only thing that matters, the only thing that has ever mattered, is how they make each other feel.
