You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

Trump is remodeling the White House & environs like no other president, gilding the Oval, planting trees, creating the Rose Garden patio & a ballroom, hanging portraits, even directing how & where new marble-tiled floors are laid

Unless Mamdani literally comes out in Hamas gear and screams “Death to the Infidels”, no, it’s not going to change anything. In my completely non-expert opinion, he is on track to likely win by 5-7 points (I think Cuomo closes a bit by getting some Silwa people in the final days).

I presume that orchestra people have vicious stereotypes about clarinetists that could be deployed here. I once heard three performers riff on violists for ten minutes and it was frightening.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.
