I’m deeply disappointed by a court decision halting the Biden admin’s ending of Title 42—a Trump-era public health order allowing expulsion of migrants. It denies legitimate asylum seekers a fair legal process & no longer serves a public health rationale. It’s time to end it.

Part of me is somewhat happy that society rejected the idea that digitally drawn apes were worth millions of dollars.

@seahawks270 A fine opportunity to get Marines down the road into the stands for a shameless photo-op.

Another Jan. 6 defendant's travel request does not go over well with Chief Judge Beryl Howell: "...assuming this Court's approach to nonessential foreign travel by defendants facing federal felony charges would be, like defendant's adherence to veganism, 'not too crazy strict'"

so much fashion today feels ironic. like, it's supposed to be cool and wink-wink insider knowledge, but do ppl actually believe the above looks beautiful? i want to see sincere work (like below). can be Lemaire, EG, RO, or classic. whatever -- just sincere.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

i dont understand the appeal of demna's work at all. it's so bad and gimmicky. i often feel like we're all sitting around pretending to like this and i can't tell if ppl are sincere.
