This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Please tell me there some sort of group chat between governors who have been threatened to be arrested by this administration. Like are y’all making certificates?🍿

Kitten is happy to celebrate Banned Book Week, but may be disappointed with the subject matter (thanks to @airalos.bsky.social for the brilliant joke)

My silver Siberian kitten posing with a hardbound copy of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. He’s looking at the camera seated behind the book. The book features a section of a tree branches in black and light green on a brown background. The book also has leaf pattered sprayed edges.

Came across a child’s choir singing Rammstein’s Engel and was reminded of this AMV from my youth youtu.be/UpKmfhBoMSY?...

I awoke like some sort of sleeper agent the moment it started playing and still remembered every part

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

A screenshot from Zelda Williams' instagram stories. It reads:

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Its dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

The second Instagram stories screenshot from Zelda Williams. It reads:

"And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

I had my own business for awhile and the number one rule was have direct access to your customers. Email lists are so much more powerful than social media platforms. Especially, if you lose your access to that platform.

Some people REALLY need to play resource management games at some point in their life. I’m sure this will go super well.

Nothing say “warrior ethos” like not feeding your soldiers
