@dieworkwear These are fantastic. I love it when you highlight women's fashion.

these phoebe philo silhouettes are so tough 😮‍💨

@Bruns0nsBurner @dieworkwear Also Lemaire and Margiela are quiet, understated brands.

@dieworkwear Does the guy in the tweet you’re replying to not satisfy these factors though? Just bc it’s not a pink shirt and pants tucked into boots doesn’t mean it doesn’t say anything about his inner life

I think interesting outfits are about two things. First, what does the outfit suggest? Second, what does the outfit look like? Outfits will naturally suggest something, whether you want them to or not. Some of the most stylish people I see in real life are not even into fashion. This includes the owner of an Italian restaurant near me, who wears big navy sport coats that don't quite fit, along with a gold Mariner-link bracelet. Or a barista who I thought wore Lemaire and Margiela, but actually alters thrifted clothes at home with her sewing machine. Some years ago, I wrote a blog post about the charming ways I see people dress at my local bookstore. Specifically, the people who attend author talks — the old anthropology guy with a beaten Jansport and dusty cords. The exquisite ladies with fancy scarves. The tweedy bookstore owner. Sometimes these clothes hint at something interesting about the person's inner life. The old anthropology guy may know a lot about linguistics. One can imagine the Italian restaurateur charming people every night in his sports coat and gold bracelet. Second, what does the outfit look like? If we are talking about the stylishness of an outfit, then there has to be an outfit. A porn star may have an interesting life, but one can't say someone has a stylish outfit if they're not wearing an outfit. Thus, for an outfit to be visually interesting, it helps to have certain characteristics. First is shape and drape (Does the outfit have a distinctive silhouette? How does the fabric hang and move?). Second, the use of accessories or layers (good outfits often have a "finishing layer"). Some will have texture, although not all outfits need them. A lot of fashion content is about how to achieve a trendy look. Or how to dress in a way to project certain desirable attributes — wealth, fitness, success, respectability, etc. This sort of content can be fine, but doesn't always resonate with me. At worst, sometimes this advice lands you with something like slide one. Some years ago, a stylist dressed Stephen Colbert for the cover of WSJ Magazine. I felt the clothes made him look less like himself — the minimalist, trendy look said nothing about his inner life except "I want to look trendy." I think this can make you look like an ambulant mannequin. The clothes suggest nothing except that you're a consumer. IMO, a good outfit suggests something culturally and personally. It also looks natural. And it often employs things such as shape, drape, layers, and texture. The outfit doesn't have to look eccentric — although it can. The best summation of good style comes from my friend and fellow menswear writer Bruce Boyer, who said, "Style is simply about being yourself on purpose." Sometimes this cultivation is a lifelong process, which is why it can take some experimentation. Some years ago, a friend of mine in Vermont attended a workshop about growing flax, the plant used to produce linen. One of the attendees wore a gray tweed sport coat with a pink chambray shirt, jeans, and Wellies. I found his outfit to be very charming/ interesting.

@Bruns0nsBurner @dieworkwear I don't think you follow DG if you think he's suggesting in any way that outfits have to be "loud" or that there is something wrong with simplicity. In fact in his tweet above he mentions dusty cords and a Jansport. The linen pants on those men just look bad. 🤷🏽‍♀️

@WolvesforKamala @dieworkwear I mean I just disagree. I actually really like the drape of the linen pants. And not every single outfit has to be loud and mak a statement, sometimes simplicity says just as much

@sofia3894050354 @AQuartermain Sofia bunch of numbers with no pfp calling everyone who disagrees with them a "bot" really reveals the level of intellectual capacity you're operating on. It's giving MAGA.

@AQuartermain BS! We don't listen to bots. Bye.

Biden didn't have a bad debate. Read the transcript. His answers were thoughtful & substantive. What he had was a cold that turned out to be #COVID which made his stutter worse. Over 80 million ppl globally suffer with a stutter & the media worked hard to equate a stutter with

@sofia3894050354 @Philos_Sofia Look, I don't think Biden was unfit for office or anything but if you can't acknowledge he had a terrible debate then you're a very unserious person. The tx alone is pretty bad, but debates are also about people seeing and hearing you. He never should have done it.

I am shattered.

Robert Mueller died last night. He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had grandchildren. He had a faith he practiced quietly, without performance. He had, in the way of men who have seen real things and survived them, a quality that is increasingly rare and increasingly mocked in the country he spent his life serving. He had integrity. And tonight the President of the United States said good! I have been sitting with that word for hours now. Good. One syllable. The thing you say when the coffee is hot or the traffic is moving. The thing a man who has never had to bury anyone, never had to sit in the specific silence of a room where someone is newly absent, reaches for when he wants the world to know he is satisfied. Good. The daughters are crying and the wife is alone in the house and good. I want to speak directly to the Americans reading this. Not the political Americans. Just the human ones. The ones who have lost a father. The ones who know what it is to be in that first hour, when you keep forgetting and then remembering again, when ordinary objects become unbearable, when the world outside the window seems obscene in its indifference. I want to ask you, simply, to hold that feeling for a moment, and then to understand that the man you elected looked at it and typed a single word. Good. This is not a country having a bad day. I need you to understand that. Countries have bad days. Elections go wrong. Leaders disappoint. Institutions bend. But there is a different thing, a rarer and more terrible thing, that happens when the moral center of a place simply gives way. Not dramatically. Not with a single catastrophic event. But quietly, in increments, until one evening a president celebrates the death of an old man whose family is still warm with grief, and enough people find it acceptable that it becomes the weather. Just the weather. That is what is happening. That is what has happened. The world knows. From Tokyo to Oslo, from London to Buenos Aires, people are not angry at America tonight. Anger would mean there was still something to fight for, some remaining faith to be betrayed. What I see, in the reactions from everywhere that is not here, is something older and sadder than anger. It is the look people get when they have waited a long time for someone they love to find their way back, and have finally understood that they are not coming. America is being grieved. Past tense, almost. The idea of it. The thing it represented to people who had nothing else to believe in, who came here with everything they owned in a single bag because they had heard, somehow, across an ocean, that this was the place where decency was written into the walls. That idea is not resting. It is not suspended. It is being buried, in real time, with 7,450 likes before dinner. And the church said nothing. Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled and the dead and the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God. The pastors who made that bargain did not just trade away their credibility. They traded away the thing that made them worth listening to in the first place. The cross they carry now is a costume. The faith they preach is a loyalty oath with scripture attached. When the history of American Christianity is written, this will be the chapter they skip at seminary. Now I want to talk about the men who stand next to him. Because this is the part that actually breaks my heart. JD Vance is not a bad man. I have to say that, because it is true, and because the truth matters even now, especially now. Marco Rubio is not a bad man. Lindsey Graham is not a bad man. They are idiots, but not bad, as in BAD! These are men with mothers who raised them and children who love them and friends who remember who they were before all of this. They are not monsters. Monsters are simple. Monsters do not cost you anything emotionally because there is nothing in them to mourn. These men are something more painful than monsters. They are men who knew better, and know better still, and will get up tomorrow and do it again. Every small compromise they made had a reason. Every moment they looked the other way had a justification that sounded, at the time, almost reasonable. And now they have arrived here, at a place where a president celebrates the death of an old man and they will find a way, on television, to say nothing that means anything, and they will go home to houses where children who carry their name are waiting, and they will say goodnight, and they will say nothing. Their oldest friends are watching. The ones who knew Rubio when he still believed in something. Who knew Graham when he said, out loud, on the record, that this exact man would destroy the Republican Party and deserve it. Who sat next to Vance and thought here is someone worth knowing. Those friends are not angry tonight. They moved through anger a long time ago. What they feel now is the quiet, irrecoverable sadness of watching someone disappear while still being present. Of watching a person they loved choose, again and again, to become less. That is what cowardice costs. Not the coward. The people who loved him. And in the comments tonight, the followers celebrate. People who ten years ago brought casseroles to grieving neighbours. Who stood in the rain at gravesides and meant the words they said. Who told their children that we do not speak ill of the dead because the dead were someone's beloved. Those people are tonight typing gleeful things about a man whose daughters are not yet done crying. And they feel clean doing it. Righteous. Because somewhere along the way the thing they were given in exchange for their decency was the feeling of belonging to something, and that feeling is very hard to give up even when you can no longer remember what you gave for it. When Trump is gone, they will still be here. Standing in the silence where the noise used to be. Without the permission the crowd gave them. Without the pastor who told them their cruelty was holy. They will be alone with what they said and what they cheered and what they chose to become, and there will be no one left to tell them it was righteous. That morning is coming. Robert Mueller flew across the Pacific on military leave to hold his newborn daughter for a few hours before returning to the war. He came home. He buried his dead with honour. He served presidents of both parties because he understood that the institution was larger than any one man. He told his grandchildren that a lie is the worst thing a person can do, that a reputation once lost cannot be recovered, and he lived that, every day, in the quiet and unglamorous way of people who actually believe what they say. He was the kind of American the world used to point to when it needed to believe the story was true. He died last night. His wife is alone in their house in Georgetown. His daughters are learning what the world is without him in it. And somewhere in the particular hush that falls over a family in the first hours of loss, the most powerful man and the biggest loser on earth sent a message to say he was glad. The world that loved what America was supposed to be is grieving tonight. Not for Robert Mueller only. For the country that produced him and then became this. For the distance between what was promised and what was delivered. For the suspicion, growing quieter and more certain with each passing month, that the America people believed in was always partly a story, and the story is over now, and there is nothing yet to replace it. That is all it needed to be. A man died. His family is broken open with grief. That is all it needed to be. Instead the President said good. And the country that once stood for something looked away 🇺🇸 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@tify330 @Sylviawimberly1 Saw somebody say the tweets on that glorious day are going to make this one look like hallmark card.

When his ass dies I will feel the exact same way just so we are clear.

@nelmagene2010 @AnnBugaj @atrupar Hey fucking dummy. The bills to fund TSA repeatedly introduced by Dems were clean and straightforward appropriations.senate.gov/news/minority/…

@AnnBugaj @atrupar They have a majority in the senate . They do not control it. It takes 60 votes. Your next point, stop adding poison pills. Just introduce a clean bill that funds them.

Trump: "If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

@ryanscottborman @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman You're very odd

@WolvesforKamala @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman Radicals are so tiring.

The alleged victim in this case, Kenneth Herring, blew through a red light and slammed into a semi-trailer, hard enough to make it tilt. An off-duty officer who approached him noticed that he seemed impaired. /1

@ryanscottborman @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman You wouldn't know the law if it bit you in the ass.

@WolvesforKamala @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman Assisting an officer when commanded to do so has been the law for a thousand years.

@ryanscottborman @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman This has nothing to do with the original claim I responded to that the D here should face a failure to comply charge nor your agreement with that claim and assertion that she could have been required to arrest someone. This statute involves immunity. Completely different topic.

@WolvesforKamala @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman In some states under some circumstances your actions when so ordered are covered by the immunities offered to official acts. All depends on the state. For instance: app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.as…

@ryanscottborman @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman I've done criminal defense for almost three decades. You cannot be compelled to act as an agent of law enforcement. If you're talking about posse comitatus laws, even those don't allow random officers or traffic cops to order bystanders to become law enforcement agents.

@WolvesforKamala @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman The common law posse has been codified into statute in many a state. Kn my state it specifically names the Sheriff, not all police. What do you do, wills trusts and disability claims?

@WolvesforKamala @SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman Actually, they can. They can make you arrest someone too.

@cort1210 His wife got arrested too 👀

@w_s_gosset @sam_rosenfeld This isn't true at all. Meryl Streep uses her eyebrows and lips to great effect.

@sam_rosenfeld The two actors consistently hailed as the greatest, most versatile, most convincing, etc, Meryl Streep & Orson Welles, both have utterly stationary faces -- frozen.

Don't sleep on the Chuck Norris story in Jessica Simpson's memoir. amazon.com/Open-Book-Jess…

@SauronDeciever @Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman That's ... not how anything works. She wasn't under arrest, detained, or under suspicion of anything. The officer's directive wasn't one that she was legally obligated to follow. A cop can't just come up to you, bystander, and demand you go follow someone and get their tag.

@Anthony_in_DC @ASFleischman She deserves a failure to comply type charge for failing to comply, as you stated.

@RealTootrill @provantage8 @Acyn The thread is about a CNN poll that found that 100% of those polled supported the Iran war. Turns out the poll was all self identified MAGAs. You claimed MAGA was 20% of Rs, I corrected you. You started rambling on about threats. Hope this helps.

@WolvesforKamala @provantage8 @Acyn By breaking down what 100% means in terms of people or by claiming those that still 100% support him are a threat? You’re the one that chimed in w/ another number expanding the conversation. Thanks for your attention to the matter.

Trump on troop deployments: I seem to have great support. CNN came out with a poll today that I'm at 100%. They said they have never seen a poll like that. The CNN poll said I'm at 100%.
