@graceyldn I saw him waiting to cross the road at waterloo. He was immaculately dressed, tall and had incredible posture.

@SonOfaGunsmith @mcandidate Thank you. I think that's cleared it up a bit for me.

For me, craft is fundamental to how I view or appreciate something. In my line of work, I think a handmade suit is beautiful because it represents the culmination of someone's years of dedicated practice, even if a machine-made suit can look indistinguishable.

I will give you another example. Filmmaker Julian Curi recently posted this clip of something they're releasing this fall (IG righteousrobot). I find the slow, intentional craft process to be beautiful. The many years this person must have put into learning this craft is part of how I appreciate their work.

I worry that, as AI technologies spread and the cost of living continues to skyrocket (especially with urban housing, as I often talk about), it will become increasingly hard for real craftspeople to make enough money to live.

As the machine-made versions become increasingly indistinguishable from handmade versions, fewer people will learn these crafts. As fewer people learn these crafts, the talent pool will shrink, making handmade work lower in quality. Additionally, craftspeople will have fewer opportunities to learn from each other, especially through apprenticeships.

I see this constantly in my own line of work writing about menswear: fewer tailors, lower quality work, fewer apprenticeships. More and more people are asking what's the big deal about benchmade tailoring when you can get a $50 machine-made suit online. Why get a handmade mechanical watch when a digital watch can tell the time. Etc.

I expected a less corporate response from Ed Sheeran considering his music is so raw and soulful

I spent £3,000 on a new boiler last year.

Nobody has ever walked into my house and said “lovely boiler, mate.”

It sits in a cupboard and does its job.

Adult money is incredibly boring.

There’s something absurd but also very funny about reviewers giving the Bayeux Tapestry marks out of 5.

Not sure how I feel about Michael Owen, but " Weird little robot of a bloke" has me pissing myself.

@thirdmetax Weird little robot of a bloke. Feel sorry for him. His parents must’ve been as cold as he is.

You can almost see Foster Wallace's suicidality here. The end where he sort of resigns to circumstance.

Infinite Jest was a difficult read because of all of what he mentions. Masterbatorial, heathenistic, lustful, gluttonous themes but a tone/cadence that forces you to slowdown

How it feels to genuinely try to do smalltalk with a friend you wanna get closer with but its just super awkward

a lot of dubbing happened in the bond films, which went on much longer than you'd think - you decide whose voice is better lol

@CeilNoyle I saw Ratko on the 197 to cricketers walk. He looked fat and depressed and fat.
