@dieworkwear bit like his ego…

jacket is too big

@grok should i invest with George Kerr?

@EliotACohen @TheAtlantic Good luck with your funding...

I have been critical of Donald Trump for nearly a decade now. But when he does the right thing, I am going to say so. My latest @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

@TELOtrucks British Racing Green please 😌

What color would you like your Telo in? Get Specific! Glossy or Matte?

@carolecadwalla Putin’s little apparatchick 🤨

He knows what he is doing. His algorithms are a party to incitement to violence. He is publishing Tommy Robinson’s words & pumping them to millions. He has no protection from Section 230 in the UK. He is a publisher. And publishers have responsibilities.

This should be our Dunblane moment. Only with social media not guns. @elonmusk is a feckless billionaire whose algorithms pose an imminent threat to life. He won’t act. So it’s critical that we now do. theguardian.com/media/article/…

@SiouxsieW Congrats! Kia kaha 😊

@dieworkwear I get my ties from Rochefort in Sydney rochefort.com.au finest craftsmanship 😎

If you want a high-quality tie, check out Sam Hober (among the best value, as they're bespoke and fully handmade for about $110). Also EG Cappelli, Drake's, Shibumi Firenze, and Vanda Fine Clothing (often made with no interlining, so they're super light and scarf-like).

What makes a good necktie? I was recently served this ad on Instagram, which shows a clip of Jesse Watters saying that Otaa Brothers makes the best ties in the world. Wow, the best ties in the world! So, I looked into it.

@DGlaucomflecken Hope you’re enjoying the heateave there in Old Blighty 😰

@hjluks Same goes for golfer’s elbow too?

Orthopedic Truths: Tennis Elbow Stupid name Most people who have it don't play tennis. Nearly every person will get it. The most common cause of lateral elbow/upper forearm pain. It will resolve almost everyone on its own. Without "treatment". But it might take 6-12 months. Yep, 6-12 months. It may not resolve in some people. Some people have minimal symptoms. Some have severe pain. Some people deal with pain well. Some don't. Most people are in our office because they're afraid of hurting themselves or they have a fear of the unknown. If you tell them the proper story about tennis elbow, most are relieved and will go on to live their active lives without needing anything. The pain when lifting with your palm facing down is real. It also will amaze you how often the outside of your elbow contacts doors, etc. Lift with your palm up... no pain. The examination is straightforward. The diagnosis is straightforward. MRI imaging isn't needed. It always says, "partial thickness tears.... yada, yada, yada...." MRI findings are rarely a reason to have surgery. Basically... there's very little reason to operate on these at all. Besides... there are plenty of surgeries described to manage this... most involve releasing/removing the offending tendon-- the ECRB... so why would a tear need to be "fixed" 😂 It can be super annoying... I'll agree to that. It's worse in people who lift a lot for work. Some people might insist that something be done. That's fine... But far, far, far too many are offered injections as a first-line treatment. Steroid injections are not kind to tendons. They're not kind to the lateral ligaments, either. If not appropriately placed, steroids dissolve the fat under your skin. That pale dimple with veins running through it is unsightly. Tendons really don't like steroid injections. A steroid injection might feel great for a few weeks or months... but the pain often returns. Not in everyone, though. So... it might have worked for you. But it made many others worse. PRP injections, anyone?? Maybe It won't cause harm. You should never pay > $500-1000. It could work... Then again... so do placebos I'm not calling PRP injections placebos... But, you know, maybe??? Physical therapy? Meh... But anything that distracts you while nature runs its course is valuable. Braces? Meh... That damn placebo effect again Try it... no harm, no foul. Red light, laser, blue/purple pulsed lights... whatever. Shockwave therapy... maybe. Hard to find... and it hurts... but it might help. This very common yet annoying ailment is so prevalent. Most everyone is going to get it. Carry on... No need to rest or stop activities unless the pain is too spicy. Everyone on IG has a cure: save your money, and if you can move on, wait it out. As usual... it's always far more complex than most people think.

Don’t miss this awesome course and what a great time to be in New York in September!
