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.

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."

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

i've been kicked out of Sweden (temporarily) so my catsitting friends are sending me silly photos of Coco to soothe me

A cat's head peeks over the top of a barricade made of chairs and blankets, blocking a corridor. The cat is looking down on a large, white dog on the floor at the base of the barricade. The lighting adds to the dramatic effect.

Coco the cat looks very smug while she dozes on a blue blanket with a stars-and-moon pattern, tucked into a square shelf.

A dramatic silhouette of a cat looking out of a set of large windows, to a well-lit and verdant forested area outside.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.

this exists it is called thinking

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

If you fancy adding more scatological barbs to your Bard's repertoire, here are some of the ones that didn't make the cut for Baldur's Gate 3

Rejected Bard Insults from Baldur's Gate 3 (no offence!)

A comic-style interpretation of some scatological barbs!

There. Is. No. Such. Thing.
Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries.
"Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · Sep 16

McDonald’s said Monday it plans to invest $200 million over the next seven years to promote regenerative agriculture practices on cattle ranches.

🌍 Iron-rich red soils and parallel sand dune ridges stand out in this Φsat-2 image of the Gibson Desert.

Spanning over 150 000 sq km, the desert’s landscape is shaped by wind and a dry climate.

In the lower part of the image, the dry lakebed of the Fortescue River is visible.

I'm often told on here that clothes are meaningless, and to some degree, I agree. However, in this instance, the GOP's aesthetic transformation shows how they use populist style to position themselves as populist outsiders, even as they serve elite interests.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace
