It’s October 19th and I’m already seeing people in the East Village wearing Halloween costumes.

The corollary to the disappearance of childhood is the disappearance of adulthood.

Remembering the Somme: a moment in time at the Sunken Lane opposite Beaumont-Hamel, men waiting to go into action at Zero Hour #OTD in 1916. A timeless, incredibly moving, sequence of film.

@BrahEcon @functi0nZer0 I'm only a novice economic historian - but the economy was already deflationary before Smoot Hawley, correct? Smoot Hawley only exacerbated the deflation by destroying US exports and since it was a more export dependent economy more people were put out of work deflating further

@SalvadorDafti @historyinmemes rough period for John - tried to kill his ego with acid. Proved to be impossible to kill.

The Harris Tweed Act of 1993 doesn't stop other people from producing tweed. It only regulates who gets to use the Harris Tweed Orb logo, which is a trademarked symbol. Let me give you some examples. 🧵

Humiliating for NYC to have our mayor indicted like we’re fucking Providence or something.

@MichelleLKahn This is absurd. And there's no way the search committee is reading all of that material. A waste of everyone's time.

@wbrianjolly @dieworkwear Any online retailer worth its salt will have a size guide that includes at least the front rise measurement. Compare it to a pair of pants in your closet

@toys_retro The Avengers. The one from 1998 with Uma Thurman and Sean Connery not the one with Iron Man
