After finishing skimming through this thread I’m convinced that fashion people are all crazy. They can literally label the same thing ugly on Tuesday and high fashion on Thursday.

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

If you simply follow trends and think that everything has to be slim fit, while also wearing business casual, you will wind up with sauceless and possibly even unflattering outfits. Feel more confident about playing around with clothes to find what works for you.

@_amitbehere Breakfast is unnecessary. Move the eggs to lunch. Intermittent fast from dinner until lunch. Once you get used to it, breakfast feels heavy.

[stargazer @mnali]

You cannot meaningfully explain patriarchy, religious conservatism or gender inequality by treating men as the sole ideological actors and women as their permanent ideological victims. Women are individuals with their own convictions, ambitions, prejudices and political agency. Some are feminists, others are conservatives, and some actively defend the very hierarchies that feminism seeks to dismantle.

Chicago is not walkable

[Chicago 2100 Urbanism @Chicago2100]

The US really only has 4 walkable cities
1) NYC
2) Chicago
3) Boston
4) San Fran

Makes sense when you realize they were all built before the advent of the car

Shhhh.. not just Islamophobic but also makes you a xio genocide supporter. And a shill for American imperialism.

[christoph @Halalcoholism]

Just learning it’s islamophobic to be horrified by a regime that forced women into headscarves, segregated them from public spaces and reduced the age of marriage of girls to 9. I’m sorry I will try to do better and correct these bigoted opinions

Alhamdulillah!

@Psychic_Rina @missmaher1900 The point stands minus the facetiousness - I’ve been seeing this trend among the left.

People keep pointing to Apple like it needs to raise its game. It doesn’t. Apple has made a conscious decision to be the paper newspaper of 1997. They will survive with AI hesitant older millennials, Gen Xers and boomers who do not trust AI agents with their email and finances, and they’d rather do it the old-fashioned way. Obviously it is not sustainable and Apple will be steamrolled, but they’ll ride that wave for as long as they can.

That criticism - if there’s anything to it - belongs to her not him. It’s incredibly patriarchal and misogynistic to attribute a wife’s clothing choices to the husband. Unless we’re talking some Muslim countries where men do enforce it.

[Dhaaruni ✨👑📊🗡️🐉 @dhaaruni]

I doubt Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed is making his wife cover her hair but at the end of the day, the hijab is inextricable from the religious oppression of women and girls and is fundamentally antithetical to women' liberation, even if some privileged women "choose" it

[stargazer @mnali]

The biggest political scam the Islamist right wing ever pulled off was convincing the global left that opposition to Islamism is Islamophobia.

[stargazer @mnali]

In a perfect world, wearing the hijab is entirely a woman’s choice. What I find deeply unbalanced, however, is that while the mullahs openly champion compulsory hijab, progressives have spent enormous energy defending the right to wear it, but barely a fraction of that energy defending women who are forced to wear it. A woman’s right to wear the hijab deserves defending. So does her right not to.

[stargazer @mnali]

Was thinking the same

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

Anyhow, in a little over a week we will see the release of The Last Human Game.

There will never be another AAA game at the scale of GTA 6 with no AI assistance. People will look back at an all-human game with a billion dollar budget and wonder how they did it, like the Pyramids

That’s not dandruff. Watch the video with his skin routine, he uses products you won’t even know the name of. He won’t be caught dead near slop like H&S.

[Shawn @TheWontonShawn]

Can I interest you in a bottle of H&S?

[stargazer @mnali]

@Iblys_ki_bachi @iblees_ki_aulad That was for the other guy who deserved it, not you. Because he sank below the belt.

[stargazer @mnali]

There is no blanket hijab ban anywhere in the world, except in just one - yes one 98% Muslim country. There simply isn’t. Stop inventing problems for your islamophilic virtue signaling.

[🔻| ☭ nofi (بریظ era) | 🇵🇸 @iblees_ki_aulad]

Hijab discourse so dumb 😭
Hijab bans are dumb and literally solve no problems exept for discouraging muslim women from participating in society so yall are like not even achivinf the grilboss feminism moment that you think u are 😭 like idk bro get your head out of ur ass

[stargazer @mnali]

@iblees_ki_aulad Say stupid shit on your TL and you will get a reaction. Nowhere did I call you an annoying pice of shit. You lost civility and that’s a choice you made. Everyone has a right to manage their access and what they will allow.

[stargazer @mnali]

Great message from Maryam Nawaz. She’s putting institutional power behind a message women have been expressing for years. Nobody gets to tone-police women for punching back at their oppressors. Women aren’t obligated to make their resistance palatable to those who benefit from their submission. The demand for civility is remarkably convenient when it’s directed at the people who have historically been expected to endure indignity in silence.

[Maryam Nawaz Sharif @MaryamNSharif]

Dare to raise your hand against a helpless woman who leaves her home every day to earn an honest living, and be prepared to face the same humiliation. She will have the right and the opportunity to slap you back. No one, no matter how wealthy, influential, or powerful, can now intimidate, exploit, or harm an ordinary citizen with impunity. The State will stand firmly with the vulnerable and respond decisively to those who misuse their power. The days of the powerful getting away with abusing the powerless are over. The State will hit back!

[stargazer @mnali]

And you chose to extrapolate that and believed that person’s narrative. And subtweeted, and yet you question other people’s comprehension skills and play the TL/context game when you are called out. Have the integrity to either engage with the argument or get dirty and personal. You can’t do both pretending to take a moral high ground. And that other asshole was triggered by my tweets and chose to be nasty and you joined in. My TL is my business- mute me or block me. Why are you being a nasty POS and if you join in the pile on, be ready for the consequences and don’t act all innocent ooh you don’t know the context.

[stargazer @mnali]

That did not stop you from pontificating “some people’s full time job is to be the Dallal of imperialism” where you have no idea what context and what is being discussed on my TL. I was expressing my annoyance at specific discourse that goes on my TL that you don’t know or follow either. It goes both ways.
