@apollozac @BasicAppleGuy This is giving oldest sibling energy and lil Finder guy youngest sibling 😆

Little Finder guy!

Deescalate? This guy should face assault and battery felony charges for causing this man's arm to be snapped! What a disgrace to his country and his fellow Seals.

@dominocollege @ClassicII_MrMac There's 4 colors

@ClassicII_MrMac Why would you buy three? Better question is why are so many Mac enthusiast who already own Macs that are more powerful buying this machine?

Wait what????? 😅

@unstuddock @roisenav @TolkienWorldG How sad your existence must be. I pity you, greatly.

@roisenav @TolkienWorldG If you see a hijab, it's a hellhole.

Trump posting this video — especially during Black History Month— is a stark reminder of how Trump and his followers truly view people. And we’ll remember that in November.

Rest in Peace, to the legendary director Rob Reiner.

@clattner_llvm Only speaking from what I hear and read I didn’t think it was primarily people sabotaging their own careers as much as companies changing who and for what they’re hiring. It seems the last few years the job market has changed. Has it not?

I am learning that I am an unusual CEO in many ways. Some know that I still code on nights and weekends (github.com/lattner) despite a busy “day job”. As part of that, I care deeply about sw development as a profession, and what “AI anxiety” is doing to many early and experienced developers. IMO, AI is here to stay, super useful today for things, and will continue to improve… but is far from SWE job displacement. It is sad for me to see many talented people giving up hope and sabotaging their own career development because of a future that may not actually arrive! Please watch the video for a much more nuanced discussion about the issues involved, particularly if you are an early career engineer who wants to make a big impact on things!!

@Knightly_Hist What a happy little guy, too.

Not all armor is created equal. Nor with the same amount of care and dedication. Some armorer cut the visor's eyes at the wrong height for this armor, so instead of creating an new piece, he cut a couple new ones right underneath. It looks kinda cute.

@HighlordRetard @druidDUDE Did you know there is no Muslim communist trying to rule over you so you don’t have to be afraid of that bogeyman. You can be more concerned about real things like the GOP gutting this country to make the rich richer at the cost of the middle class and poor.

@druidDUDE If it's racist, to not want a muslim communist to rule me, then sure, call me racist all you want, it won't change anything, I still don't want a muslim commie to rule me.

Is everyone just super fucking racist?

@maxvoltar Dude. DUDE. That's sick.

Back in 2007 I started freelancing under the name Made by Elephant. Was doing some domain cleanup and got curious what the logo would look like if I did it today. Fun little Wednesday warmup exercise. (Old on the left, new on the right)

@fredoccoug99 @natashakorecki @svdate While I have no sympathy for the ones who voted for this the fact is this will affect everyone.

@natashakorecki @svdate Guess what I could give a shit about these farmers as they voted for Trump three times and all of them still fly his flag in the front yard in my small farming town.

@pennytextrix @LiviaBellona @travisakers Saw the same exact text on a Facebook post using a woman's photo that had nothing to do with this. It is most likely fake. This is a Facebook style fake post. facebook.com/OccupyDemocrat… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@LiviaBellona @travisakers Everyone saying this is ChatGPT because it’s clear, concise and uses em dashes, but to me it just reads like someone who can write properly and has an academic background.

A message from a Kindergarten teacher: After forty years in the classroom, my career ended with one small sentence from a six-year-old: “My dad says people like you don’t matter anymore.” No sneer. No malice. Just quiet honesty — the kind that cuts deeper because it’s innocent. He blinked, then added, “You don’t even have a TikTok.” My name is Mrs. Clara Holt, and for four decades, I taught kindergarten in a small Denver suburb. Today, I stacked the last box on my desk and locked the door behind me. When I started teaching in the early 1980s, it felt like a promise — a shared belief that what we did mattered. We weren’t rich, but we were valued. Parents brought warm cookies to parent nights. Kids gave you handmade cards with hearts that didn’t quite line up. Watching a child sound out their first sentence felt like magic. But that world slowly slipped away. The job I once knew has been replaced by exhaustion, red tape, and a kind of loneliness I can’t quite describe. My evenings used to be filled with construction paper, glitter, and glue sticks. Now they’re spent filling out digital reports to protect myself from angry emails or lawsuits. I’ve been yelled at by parents in front of twenty-five children — one filming me with his phone while I tried to calm another child mid-meltdown. And the kids… they’ve changed too. Not by choice. They arrive tired, anxious, overstimulated. Their tiny fingers know how to swipe a screen before they can hold a crayon. Some can’t make eye contact or wait in line. We’re expected to fix all of it — to patch the gaps, heal the trauma, teach the curriculum, and document every move — in six hours a day, with resources that barely fill a drawer. The little reading corner I once built, full of soft beanbags and paper stars, was replaced by data charts and “learning metrics.” A young principal once told me, “Clara, maybe you’re too nurturing. The district wants measurable results.” As if kindness were a weakness. Still, I stayed. Because of the small, holy moments that no spreadsheet could measure — a whisper of, “You remind me of my grandma.” a shaky note that read, “I feel safe here.” a quiet boy finally meeting my eyes and saying, “I read the whole page.” Those tiny sparks were my reason to keep showing up. But this last year broke something in me. The aggression grew sharper. The laughter in the staff room turned to silence. The light went out of so many eyes. I watched brilliant teachers — my friends — vanish under the weight of burnout, their joy replaced by survival. I felt myself fading too, like chalk on a board that’s been wiped one too many times. So today, I began my goodbye. I pulled faded art off the walls and tucked thirty years of handmade cards into a single box. In the back of a drawer, I found a letter from a student from 1998: “Thank you for loving me when I was hard to love.” I sat on the floor and cried. No party. No applause. Just a handshake from a young principal who called me “Ma’am” while checking his notifications. I left my rocking chair behind, and my sticker box too. What I carried with me were the memories — the faces of hundreds of children who once trusted me enough to reach out their hands and learn. That can’t be uploaded. It can’t be measured. It can’t be replaced. I miss when teachers were partners, not targets. When parents and educators worked side by side, not in opposition. When schools cared more about wonder than numbers. So if you know a teacher — any teacher — thank them. Not with a mug or a gift card, but with your words. With your respect. With your understanding that behind every test score is a heart that cared enough to try. Because in a world that often overlooks them, teachers are the ones who never forget our children.

@PhoenixHeart815 It would be cool for you to get the funds and keep that art. I hope others see this and you can get the boost you need.

Money has been kind of tight lately, and I’m sort of in a desperate pinch to pay some bills. I unfortunately came to the decision in need to sell my Signed #CriticalRole #BellsHells Art Print. Please dm if interested.

@rogie @maxvoltar Excellent use of free will.

Love that I get to forever have my influence on Figma now as a product designer. @maxvoltar and I made the scissors close when you use the cut tool 🥺

@Thewsauce @dieworkwear Your tie looks like a bat from this angle and it makes me love it so much more. Good look!

@dieworkwear Divij did my wedding tux.

If you're interested in bespoke tailoring and are based in the United States, I have some trunk show announcements to share with you. This time, one of the tailors has an extensive travel schedule, so there's a good chance he's coming to a city near you. In the world of custom tailoring, there are three principal figures. The cutter is the person who drafts and cuts your pattern; the coat maker, sometimes called the tailor, is the person who transforms loose pieces of fabric into a garment; and then there's the fitter, who is the person who fits you in the garment and asks how you feel. I'm skeptical of operations where a cutter never sees you. First, this usually indicates that it's a made-to-measure operation, which, while not inherently bad, does come with some limitations and potential pitfalls. Second, while cutters can sometimes double as fitters, not all fitters are versed in pattern drafting or even sewing. Thus, if something goes wrong, you may not have a technical person available to help you resolve the issue. Divij Bespoke is one of the few fitter-run operations that I've seen consistently deliver good work. Divij is the son of Joe Hemrajani, a well-respected veteran in this trade. For decades, friends of mine who used the best bespoke tailors have supplemented their wardrobes with items from Joe because his work is excellent. Before Joe retired some years ago, his son Divij trailed him, learning how to fit people in garments, solve complex tailoring issues, and work with the company's workshop in Hong Kong. Today, Divij runs the family firm. Like WW Chan, Divij makes moderately proportioned clothes if you say nothing, which ensures the style never veers too far from a classic silhouette. However, if you prefer, he can also create a slightly stiffer, stronger shoulder line (in the British style) or a more softly deconstructed garment (in the style of Southern Italian tailoring). Divij Bespoke also has an extensive travel schedule, as shown above. There are so many custom tailoring operations nowadays — many run by individuals with questionable backgrounds and motivations. From what I've seen on friends, I think Divij is one of the more trustworthy operations if you go with a firm where you're mainly interacting with your fitter, not cutter. Plus, his prices are unusually competitive. The term "drape" has two meanings in tailoring. The first, and more commonly known, refers to how a fabric falls (e.g., "that fabric drapes well."). The second, and less widely known, refers to an English style of tailoring invented by Dutch-English tailor Frederick Scholte in the early 20th century. The "drape cut," also known as the London Blade cut, is distinguished by its relatively soft shoulders and full chest, which results in excess fabric "draping" near the armhole. Today, Anderson & Sheppard is the most famous tailoring house for the drape cut, as Scholte trained one of their founders, Per Anderson. However, among tailoring enthusiasts, many will opt for one of the smaller firms — Steed, Redmayne, and Steven Hitchcock. Steven is the son of John Hitchcock, who served as Anderson & Sheppard's head cutter since the mid-1990s (shortly after Edwin DeBoise left to start his own firm, Steed). Of all three independent tailors trained in this tradition, Steven probably makes the modernized version — the drape is a little more reigned in — which is good for people who want just a touch of that old school English sensibility, but prefer a cleaner looking chest. In the photos above, you can see both Divij and Hitchcock's work on my friend Andy (IG styleafter50), which gives you a sense of how these two house styles work on the same body. Both great tailors, but you can see how Hitchcock's jacket has just a touch more fullness through the chest. Consider him if you like that traditional English style. Finally, my usual disclosure: this is not a paid tweet, as I don't do paid tweets. I don't get anything from making these announcements — no money, kickbacks, freebies, discounts, or whatever else. I make these announcements simply because I love tailoring and it's my pleasure to connect tailors with customers. If you have questions, please contact these firms directly, as I am not their representative.

The trashiest administration.

@w_mccallister @byjoelanderson She did not make it worse than what he said. He didn’t list all of those high profile Black women just because of their titles. He was taking about Black women.

@byjoelanderson Kirk was a racist, among many other things. You don’t need to gild the lilly. If she had just put up the quote as it actually was and gotten fired, I would be on your side.

No offense but I think people who are being pedants about that quote want us to pretend we’re stupid.

When you attack one party member, we all roll initiative. ⚔️ This sticker design is up for pre-order and half of the proceeds will go to the ACLU to help immigrant families.

@JameelHassan_ @tiffani Trump getting elected was my first oh no I think we’re in trouble. Covid was the chaser of oh yeah we’re fucked.

Nothing has surprised me since Covid. That was really my “wow this country is full of idiots” moment.

@samurai_rusk @WillingBlam Yes please

With @WillingBlam playing a big lion paladin in the new Critical Role campaign you can expect to see lots of big lion paladin art from me. It’s probably going to be a problem.
