Can we please fund a study on why the last 3 minutes of a wash cycle take 17 minutes?

@Xzurvan @AryJeay Iran doesn't care about Jordan.

@balochi5252 How did they get this footage of drones being intercepted over Israel when Hagari claimed it would take hours to reach Israel?

@LasVegasLocally @zero04013437 Where are my manners? 🤦🏽‍♂️ @MGMResortsIntl @MGMGrand

@LasVegasLocally @zero04013437 You cheap mfers. This ain't a Cra*gslist gig. How much is it worth to not have this happen for at least 10 yrs? You should be offering at least $350/hr PLUS: Free VIP Penthouse (max 5 days a quarter) in Vegas AND 75% discounted rate for any MGM property worldwide...for life.

The MGM Grand is looking to hire a Red Hat Linux System Admin willing to work 10 hours per day 7 days a week to completely rebuild its IT environment from the ground up and get the slot machines working again. (h/t @zero04013437)

@IDoTheThinking Not sure about actual foot traffic, but according to this clip, SF location revenue dropped from $455M in 2019 to $300M in 2022. San Jose (Valley Fair) location saw 66% increase. youtu.be/XQoRKfXrFkw?t=…

@dieworkwear I swear they've always been about $60, just like Chucks have been $40 over a generation (I think). We sometimes got stuff from the older kids of our family friends. Americans would do well to go back to that model.

am i crazy for thinking $60 is normal for a jansport backpack?

@FrankFigliuzzi1 Smithee complains as if GOP in Congress doesn't do the exact same thing.

Because life is a comedy: Somewhere, there's a non-profit raising awareness about the lead content of shipwrecks impacting the ocean ecosystem.

Imagine being some high and mighty hall monitor about the most random sh*t. As if the modern shipwrecks are ruins we take school children to or base cultural art off of. Imagine wanting to stifle scientific research. Jay walking is "illegal." Plenty of stupid laws.

@dieworkwear Ryan is a savant. I remember meeting him in his early days. The way he talked about fabric told me he knew what he was doing. Wonderful human, too.

They also have a made-to-measure program for $650. These have as much handwork as bespoke (buttonholes, pick stitch, internal waistband), but are not made in-house. Lots of room for adjustment: rise, thigh, waist, and seat, along with posture and body type (full seat, flat seat)

THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH MEN'S PANTS DeSantis' outfit here illustrates one of the most common problems with pants—and the one that requires a bit of know-how to fix. So let's talk about it. 🧵

@Noahpinion I wish cultural exchanges were baked into trade agreements with other countries.

I don't believe in "love it or leave it", but I do believe there are many Americans who would be happy living abroad for a while, and would gain valuable perspective at the same time.

My jaw is on the floor. One of my most played albums. I think I still have the casette. November 7: Oakland, CA — Oakland Arena vulture.com/2021/09/fugees…

@ShahabZargari Have you watched Love Death & Robots?

A historic first in Istanbul 👩‍🚒The city's first ever female firefighters will take up their new roles at the Istanbul Fire Department's field force very soon. Welcome aboard, ladies!

How is this not a humanitarian crisis? Outrageous price gouging on even basic goods.

@shoesbynoonoo Reminds me of the podcast episode Derek of @putthison went on to talk about menswear and Beau Brummell: "Suits: Articles of Interest #10" from 99% Invisible (awesome series, btw) airr.io/episode/5ecd8f…

@csilverandgold To your point: I wish folks would do a better job of reframing infra upgrades for sustainable energy in terms of innovation and economic activity it would allow across the country.

I wish more people understood that climate policy towards a clean energy revolution is also climate policy towards a cheap energy revolution that will meaningfully reduce a bunch of costs for working class people.

This was a brilliant sequence. Just stellar writing.

@rosalyster Wonderful writing. Reminds me of our time in Budapest, especially the ruin pubs. Adding Kiyev to the list.
