@urban_comp Looking good! Linen is so distinct (especially once wrinkled), I struggle with pairing other fabrics with it. Go linen on linen? A thin wool or cotton? In these suits, what sort of shirt do you favor? How could you have been more comfortable in the last sweaty photo?

RAHMAN: “On the way to my 39th traumatic brain injury appointment, I encountered a traffic jam caused by ICE… an agent yelled, "Move, I will break your f'ing window”…. Then the glass of the window flew across my face. I yelled, "I am disabled!” — the agent said, "Too late."

@MidTnElectric Nothing but love for y'all. Super fast turnaround. We're very thankful!

To our members—We want to be sure you know how grateful the entire team at Middle Tennessee Electric has been for your patience, kindness and understanding during this ice storm restoration process.❤️ We know this has been a challenging time for you and your families, and you've still shown us grace and a tremendous amount of support. Our crews have appreciated your cheers, waves and displays of thanks as they worked long hours in difficult conditions. As ice continues to linger and melt today, it has created new outages, but our crews are continuing to respond to them as they occur. Thank you again, MTE members—Your encouragement has meant more to us than you know. (And thanks to one of our very own linemen for this beautiful photo!)

@dieworkwear That's amazing

don't want to give away my article before it's published, but here's a clip from Sparky Greene's 1975 documentary American Shoeshine, which shows "rag popping." this was both a skill and a way to tease out bigger tips from customers

this area of menswear is so serious, i can't begin to tell you. much lore. deer bones. international competitions. specialized french and japanese creams. amazing to see a trade once looked down upon now become an elevated craft

@BuckReising @TwoRiversFord Might as well ask "are you a vol fan, yes or no"

.@TwoRiversFord Poll: What describes Diego Pavia more to you?

@TheTNHoller Disagree. He is a jerk and probably won't interview Cruz again. One can be strong and persistent without trying to humiliate.

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception. If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place.

@aria_gerson I noticed that edginess as well. It's honestly surprised me because Corbin's teams are usually so classy. Made me think of Kumar and the rec specs pitcher from Louisville years ago. A lot more talking to umps too

@dieworkwear Beautiful. Thanks for sharing

If you're interested in bespoke tailoring and located in the United States or Tokyo, I have some trunk show announcements for you. First up is Nina Pelington, a newly independent tailor with deep roots in the trade. She’s spent the last twenty years cutting bespoke garments at some of Savile Row’s most prestigious houses, including Dege & Skinner and Gieves & Hawkes. More recently, she was the head cutter at Edward Sexton. Now, she’s striking out on her own, working under her own name. While many tailors specialize in regional styles—Neapolitan, Milanese, London—Nina’s aesthetic is shaped more by cultural influence than geography. Her inspirations include the opulence of the 1960s and ’70s, Laurel Canyon Americana, and classic Westernwear. The result is a distinct, stylized tailoring language: velvet dinner jackets that feel lifted from the wardrobes of Mick Jagger or The Beatles; Western suits with smile pockets and hand-finished detailing. She favors broader, padded shoulders and wider lapels, all contributing to a distinctly rock ’n’ roll vibe. Of course, she still makes traditional business suits—that’s been her bread and butter for two decades. But if your tastes lean toward pearl-snap Western shirts, cowboy boots, and Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses, Nina’s work will feel like a natural fit. It's no surprise that she makes suits for Jarvis Cocker. Nina offers two tailoring programs. The first is a full bespoke service, entirely made in-house. The second is an offshore option: she personally drafts and cuts your pattern, but the garment is assembled outside of England. It’s still hand-made, but the offshore production helps bring down the cost—making custom tailoring a bit more accessible. Reach out to her directly for appointments and more details. Next up is Assisi, a South Korean tailoring house. When I began writing about bespoke tailoring fifteen years ago, there were only one or two notable Korean names, and most enthusiasts still focused on what was happening in England, Italy, and France. In recent years, that’s begun to shift. What I see from Assisi today rivals—and in some cases exceeds—the work coming out of certain long-established Savile Row firms. Because South Korean tailoring is often supported by enthusiasts—people who follow clothing blogs—many houses develop an aesthetic that blends elements from different traditions. At Assisi, you’ll find the soft, natural shoulder of Neapolitan tailoring, the full, sculpted chest associated with some British houses, and the sharp, angular lines typical of Milanese bespoke. What impresses me most is the shaping: they use a heavy iron to stretch and shrink the cloth in key areas, creating the clean, three-dimensional silhouette you see above. Any good tailor will use ironwork, but few do it so well. I also like that the people behind the shop have a good eye for style. They can help you get something that feels classic enough to be enduring but won't look too old-fashioned. Alongside the fabric books you typically see at trunk shows, they also bring swatches from their vintage fabric archive. Finally, my usual disclosure: I don’t get anything from making these announcements. I don’t accept freebies, discounts, kickbacks, or any other compensation. I only make these announcements because I love the work of bespoke tailors and shoemakers, and hope they can find customers who will help keep their craft alive. If you have questions, please contact the tailors directly.

@FitFounder You also overlook and diminish the work of real people who give their efforts to research and medicine. One can argue that all the coaching and content you do is analogous to pharm right? Does helping people fix their bodies lose you business? There is simply no shortage of sick

A drug companies business model is to create drugs to treat the symptoms. There’s no money in finding the cure.

@FitFounder Objectively false. There are many curative treatments that make plenty of money (e.g. some cancer treatments, antibiotics, new gene editing to name a few). While I'm confident most money comes from chronic disease and long term treatment, such a blanket statement is misleading.

@aria_gerson That would be interesting. I suspect general age of development and overall wear on the arm would play into that. If you're already throwing hard at 14, is the arm more likely to be injured later from cumulative use vs a late bloomer.

Like I know the data on this doesn't really exist but I would love to know the correlation between how early a player committed to a college and getting TJ/major injuries. Because anecdotally, it feels like the players who committed later (as juniors/seniors in HS) have stayed healthier in college compared to guys who committed at 14 or 15

I mean yes but I am curious if the NCAA's new rules curbing early recruiting will help, because instead of feeling like they have to be recruited by an SEC school at 14, everyone has to wait until they're 16 to get official offers or commit — no need to throw that hard when you're too young to get recruited

In Philadelphia there are more vacant, abandoned houses than there are people in need of housing. But there are thousands of people waiting for affordable housing, on a waiting list that can take years. One of my neighbors waited over 10 years… It doesn’t make sense. So this is what we’re doing about it. Please consider supporting our work: SimpleHomes.org

@aria_gerson Boo hiss disagree. It's half the fun of international travel

I mean torture no but non-alcoholic seltzer is plainly not good

Listen to this guy👇🏽

Just a friendly reminder that yes, we can reduce gun violence in the US. We’ve been able to do unimaginable things before. Change is possible. We need to fight for it. yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/we-can-reduc…

@DrJeffCain Love it. If I applied these expectations to my whole life, I'd be a much better person!

First day of class yesterday and I nailed the first item. Technically, I messed something up BEFORE CLASS EVEN STARTED through a typo on the code for mentimeter! #PharmEd

🧵 This morning I stumbled onto an online conversation between two men about me. One of them was saying it would be good for them to kill me. The other was, if not agreeing, not exactly outraged at the idea. I had never interacted with either of these guys. I don’t know them.

@ClaremontInst @RealTheoWold @CenterForAWL This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read or heard. And you can trust me because I'm not an expert.
