@LtColWeaver @DavidLaneDesign They're superb shoes, but they're also two thousand dollars
English
@DavidLaneDesign You should try John Lobb. They have plenty in stock. Go with the Lopez or James (unlined). Classic & timeless
English
The suede loafers from Anglo-Italian are excellent. They’re made by Crockett and Jones on their city sole which handles all types of surfaces well. Of course they are sold out at the moment, but they do restock often. Unley and Studridge shown below.

In the market for brown suede loafers Have my own inclinations, but curious to poll the room If money were no object, which pair would you buy?

@WaynesWhirled @zofer11 @DanFriedman81 Statistically it doesn’t. Even if you accept that people should just feel hungry every day for the rest of their lives, weigh everything they eat and exercise an hour a day no matter what, it doesn’t work statistically. You can fight science.

The problem with a lot of “millennial feminism” and 2010s progressivism is that these beliefs cannot survive contact with your 30s.
It’s easy to be “fat positive” when you’re 25 and you can still run an 8 minute mile and do a backflip with your big belly flopping around. When you are 35 and your knees hurt and you are breathing like Tony Soprano, you can’t believe in that stuff anymore.
Helen Lewis@helenlewis
I’ve written about the backlash to Adult Braces: “I do feel great sympathy for Lindy West. How was she to know that the great omertà of Millennial Feminism—that we had to take whatever people said about their life stories at face value—had broken?”
English
@MattBruenig @simonw You can deterministically check for "does this case exist" and "does the quotation exist in the case," but you can't deterministically check for "does this brief accurately represent the substance of the case"
English
Not so @simonw. If you have a database that contains all of the relevant law, you can deterministically check each citation and quote against that database.

@memristor @rfkenmore Bridlen has some wider Ivy-style loafers (e.g. the moccasin below) and also some more elegant European ones. TLB is mostly just euro
English
@memristor @rfkenmore I can't vouch for them personally, but I have heard really good things about Bridlen. TLB Mallorca is a slightly higher price point (maybe in your range depending on tariffs) and I can vouch for them personally

Definitive BIFL/Grail Loafer List
—Alden Leisure Handsewn (LHS)
-American Ivy OG since 19th century
-Strained production. Even stores asking to stock are being turned away
—Crockett & Jones Harvard¹
-English take on Ivy
-Slightly more refined than LHS
-Easier to find rubber soled than Alden
—JM Weston 180
-French icon, created mid 20th century
-Still Ivy-inspired but most contemporary look of the lot
-Distinctly high-walled with split toe
-Tannery bought from Hermes
Bonus: Seiji McCarthy
-Bespoke commission
-Hand made in Japan
-American-inspired
-Several thousand dollars
¹ London Suitmaker Anglo Italian offers a C&J variant called the Unley, which is also within the LHS x Harvard orbit. Refined further with a daintier vamp and more sloped, slipper-like
English
It is so bizarre seeing all the comments that "nice shoes" don't have rubber soles. I don't think I've ever seen a shoe without a rubber sole, and in California "nice shoes" means "close toed."
constans@constans
Apparently this is because redditors have one paid of “nice shoes” they keep in the back of their closet that they wear once every few years, and rubber soles degrade and fall apart if they’re not worn.

@dave_pasin @kyulls @JimMcMurtry01 @ravioligurl Obviously they weren't subject to city code, but that doesn't mean they're poorly built. What is your source of information?
English
@Unlearned_Hand @kyulls @JimMcMurtry01 @ravioligurl They’re extremely poorly built they weren’t subject to Civic building codes. They cheaped out on almost everything.
English
The wealthy 1500-member Musqueam tribe, which claims all of Vancouver, is building 11 towers (some 56 stories) on an 11.7-acre waterfront site.
This density breaks all the rules, but when you’re a court-supported racial oligarchy, you can do anything.
English
@Unlearned_Hand @kyulls @JimMcMurtry01 @ravioligurl They may not have asbestos but dollars do donuts in a few years they’ll need to be replumbed, they’ll have electrical issues and they’ll have issues related to water ingress and moisture issues. Future greenhouse mold factories
English
@kristelblackmed @MontefioreOBGYN Congrats! I have never seen "status post [previous affiliations]" before but it's very funny
English
English
@JimMcMurtry01 @freedomchoser Apparently, they don't have to have any schools, grocery stores, or any public services in that high density area either. Because it's indigenous built they get to override the normal city planning rules.
English
@dave_pasin @kyulls @JimMcMurtry01 @ravioligurl Would you like to make a wager on whether those buildings will have asbestos in them
English
@kyulls @JimMcMurtry01 @ravioligurl Obviously, you aren’t involved with the construction of these monstrosities. Poorly built, little parking, huge reliance on city infrastructure and no asbestos city building codes, rest assured they will be future slums.
English
I should clarify that none of my views are aimed at getting women, advancing your career, or appearing successful/ rich/ respectable. I am only interested in menswear as an aesthetic. Thus, all these outfits below look great to me. I have no opinion on the other stuff.
English
@Watchman_motto Worth noting that they are counting the garage square footage. So this floor plan actually fits three bedrooms, two social rooms, etc. into 1150 square feet
English
The thing about these old homes is that the floor plan is always genius. You may think that you can come up with a better floor plan, but even modern architects have a hard time doing it right. It’s also not intuitive why this is so nice, and many people have a hard time seeing it in their mind’s eye when looking at a print.

@GregHoytLET @equine__dentist @kuchisakeonnax I was about to say—everyone knows courtroom artists can't draw that well
English
@equine__dentist @kuchisakeonnax 🙃 that's not a sketch, it's a screenshot of the trial fed through AI to make it look like a sketch
English
this is the hardest court sketch i’ve ever seen

@Polit_eurOpines @stanfordNYC like, less than one? The all-in value of taxes paid by an immigrant (time value of money, etc.) we choose to admit should probably be less than the all-in value we anticipate spending on the immigrant. That seems... pretty obvious to me
English
@stanfordNYC Eh, I mean, what multiple are you thinking is “within reason” instead of “generous”—what would the monthly/annual payment look like? What outcome would we want to see?
English
the “remarkably generous” retirement system is giving someone $10,000/year to live on. 🧐
Bernard Stanford ✡︎@stanfordNYC
Retirement systems can often be remarkably generous at the low end. See here where an immigrant who worked in the US for exactly ten years will likely receive an SSI annual benefit higher than he ever earned in a year by working.

@DanFriedman81 @Texas__Bulldog You're a little weasel aren't you
The cop threw a full cooler at the guy's head and caused him to crash, try telling the whole truth next time asshole
English
Zohran Mamdani has ended an Eric Adams policy of criminally charging people who drive mopeds on sidewalks and ride them the wrong way on one way streets.
He is doing this to protect illegal immigrants, who come to this country from places where there are no traffic laws to work illegally as food delivery workers.
These people recreate the conditions of their third-world homelands and injure or kill pedestrians. Trump should send ICE to NYC to round them up.
