@A1an_M Pre-poning makes me very when I hear it at work - call it what it is, pulling the rug out! 🤪

Somewhere within the bowels of a Lloyds Banking Group office there is a greybeard IT guy (called Steve or Gary) who had been planning on retirement last year. but was persuaded to stay on because no-one else knew how everything worked, saying very loudly with a world-weary air to some senior executives with MBAs and economics degrees right now: "I told you this would happen and you didn't listen" And there are a lot of much more junior IT people running around "preponing" meetings while they "do the needful".

One of the world's most luxurious and comfortable summer fabrics is Xiangyunsha silk. It is made only in Southern China due to the region's unique mix of natural raw materials, climate and expertise. In this thread I will explain why it commands a high price (and rightly so).

@LouisPisano Lack of Met Gala invitation.

I feel like there’s a disconnect between what the general public perceives & what’s actually accurate bc Wisdom is very booked, very busy & very appreciated in the industry. He’s at fashion weeks, brand trips, in the Time 100, BoF 500, Forbes 30 under 30, signed to IMG, brands love him, so where is the sentiment that he’s not being utilized coming from?

@autcareandshare Happy Birthday, Ryan! 29 and feeling fine ☀️ 🩵

Good morning all, Ryan is 29 today, Ryan's the most fantastic cheeky mischievous young man you will ever meet, hes autistic, he goes to a daycentre so doesn't have the traditional circle of friends that many people his own age, the photo below is from Ryan's first ever black tie event they other week where he won a award for his amazing knowledge of music, please wish Ryan a happy birthday.

@mycoalrd @pants any update on the print? I have had this on my wish list since asking in January 🥰

@napstaaAAAHH It’s a spoon for feeding a baby. I bought one also thinking it was a weird spoon, then my mum clarified…

Spoon council what is your verdict

@WEURO2025 is there a closing ceremony ahead of the final? There’s no information for ticket holders on any build-up events.

@omid9 Who is paying you to have an opinion THAT long on this?

🚨1. It’s time to speak out. I don’t usually in such cases apart from the odd joke here and there. But the Baldoni/Lively case has taken a very dark turn. It is def not Amber v Johnny and never was. It now involves us all and is way more serious than gossip columnists would have you believe. Recap of timeline: After release of the film #ItEndsWithUs last August, Blake Lively promoted this movie about domestic violence by (amazingly) pushing her various alcohol brands. This tone deaf marketing - by Ryan Reynolds’ marketing company Maximum Effort - received a massive backlash as a significant connection between alcohol consumption and domestic violence is a known fact. Yet instead of apologising and moving on, Blake claims the online criticism of her was all an “untraceable” smear campaign. To effectively “uncancel” herself - and deflect from the catastrophic marketing campaign of the movie by husband Ryan - she then launched a smear campaign of her own accusing her co-star and director of movie Justin Baldoni of sexual harassment with a much publicised article in the New York Times, Dec 21st. After Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman dropped receipts that no sexual harassment had taken place AND the man Blake accused of orchestrating the smear campaign against her - crisis PR manager Jed Wallace - being DISMISSED from the case, she is now going for any one who has criticised her online: 16 content creators on @YouTube and 20 on @X. Literally tracing the supposedly “untraceable” content to these people, some of whom have as little as 38 followers. This has massive implications on free speech attempting to stifle and chill voices who are simply interested in the case and commenting on it. These people are now being dragged into federal court. Fortunately they are all firing back and the previously silent mainstream media are now saying 'When you demand IP addresses and PayPal receipts from hobby vloggers, you risk being seen as mugging the First Amendment in broad daylight.' (DM online) The big issue here is privacy trust with social media platforms giving up personal information to people like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds so they can bully and threaten them away from the cameras. This is disgusting. And why are they doing this? Blake Lively seems to be her own worst enemy. This is a strategy that can only blow up in her own face. Ryan too. Believe it or not I like these two. Or did. But this behaviour has shown us who they are. No one should be fearful of speaking out against the actions of rich and privileged actors who continue to behave disgracefully with impunity. They cannot use mainstream media to control their false version of events and then punish social media users when the public goes against their narrative seeded through high profile media outlets. Shame on Blake and Ryan’s law firm for issuing these cowardly subpoenas. If you want to subpoena me for saying so go ahead, make my day. Especially when we all know - even you - that the real culprits are staring at themselves in the mirror.

@richardmcj Oh this one is shaping up beautifully! I love the angles.

Work in progress - detail of the underdrawing for a new painting, started today. #wip #oilpainting

@estylingerie It’s sweetly intentioned but wow, what schlocky results when there are plenty of good brands selling cup-sized costumes. The combo they’re promoting just looks plain bizarre…

Just-launched Siren + Sage is a swim brand created for layering, combining one-piece coverage with bikini top support and the ability to pick different top and bottom sizes. I wrote about the brand here: lingeriebriefs.com/2025/06/22/int…
