my goal as a menswear writer isn't to help you look cool or impress people, but to help you cultivate a kind of curiosity, knowledge, and appreciation that will allow you to get this excited about a pair of blue jeans.

Chinese words involving space and space travel seem far more poetic their English equivalents.
“Outer space” vs “太空” [The supreme/vastest void]
“Space flight” vs “航天” [Heaven sailing]
Our astronauts travel to space; theirs sail into the celestial void

Ahir, a la @santjordillibre de Barcelona, @Abel_Cutillas i @mporrasmarti no ens van anunciar pas la fundació d'un nou partit polític, sinó la creació d'una llibreria catalana (i anglesa) a la capital a fi de reindustrialitzar la cultura catalana per pensar i alliberar el país.
@WillManidis Honestly, what could be more American than inventing a digital god just to have it analyze balance sheets in a windowless cube? We don't unleash Prometheus, we file him under Enterprise Services.
🟡 Illa diu que hi ha un "risc real" que Madrid es plantegi "derogar" l'autogovern català després del 29N

I believe the opposite.
As your wealth increases, I think you should dress a certain way and buy certain things, as doing so employs tailors, artists, and craftspeople. These trades are dying from a lack of patronage.
In the past, these trades flourished under wealthy patrons who valued beauty and craftsmanship, sometimes producing things that benefited the broader public, such as creating beautiful libraries and museums. Today's elites seem more interested in optimizing their health and wealth, pursuits largely confined to themselves.
A tailor who makes clothes for wealthy clients has a steady stream of income. In doing so, they can also take on side projects, such as making clothes for films and theatre. Without the first, they risk going out of business, and the public consequently suffers.
