Much prefer that one to the fake metal. Can't do it. Saw the A130WEG at the GShock boutique in Soho this weekend (didn't get anything!) and it was disappointing. LF20 and LF30 more my speed. But OG Royales? God tier.

This is a great episode! If you want to understand American politics, you gotta understand Laura Loomer…it’s that bad, folks.

Dear Parents,
If students wish to take part in this National Day of Remembrance, they may wear red to honor the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. Red shirt on top, uniform on bottom.
Thank you!

She's like a worse iteration of the RadTrads from Michigan with changing principles.

Before my time here, but the boat festivals were more common than in recent years. Natchez (and its forebears) have a lot of ties to the city, some were even built here. Neat to see / hear it steam out of town. Luckily the trip back is quicker!

I had a great time doing a river cruise on the Natchez in New Orleans. Highly recommend. Excellent local food for lunch onboard. Lovely city. Great experience.
