@TheWapplehouse Also weird bc what are people who buy lunch buying? I think a salad or sandwich whether bought or from home is pretty standard?

[Jill Draper @JillMakesStuff]

These people are so delusional & selling their delusions. I would love a breakdown on how a new manufacturer could start w $25k. Are you renting your factory space? Bc this is not even close to a year's rent.

[Zane Hengsperger @zanehengsperger]

most net new US manufacturing businesses can be started with $25,000

What I'm learning is there are a LOT of ugly navy sweaters with flags on them. All of which are RL knockoffs. Blech. Boring.

@CoraCHarrington Even early undergarments were split at the crotch so “pants” would be fundamentally confusing, right?

[Jill Draper @JillMakesStuff]

@CoraCHarrington Oh that's fascinating!

Why is no one mentioning this self selects for online quiz takers which may not reflect the rest of the reading population?

[Kevin Roose @kevinroose]

We made a blind taste test to see whether NYT readers prefer human writing or AI writing.

86,000 people have taken it so far, and the results are fascinating. Overall, 54% of quiz-takers prefer AI. A real moment!

@CoraCHarrington @dieworkwear I saw someone saying the other day they are planning on starting some sort of cottage industry of home sewers in the US, creating dresses for sale bc they can’t find a nice dress for $30 anymore & …

@j_bot @svershbow Don't worry a sweater pattern paid equal to like 3 paragraphs worth of writing...

@thetolerantweft I found your last newsletter really interesting & something I had been thinking about but not really seen expressed.
