@generic_void company merch is not clothing
it is a cocoon
inside it a man is slowly becoming someone
with the confidence
and the funds
to wear an ill fitting brunello cucinelli vest over a white t shirt that cost 8844 dollars
the merch is just placeholder for a far uglier trasngression
@jun_song@elonmusk a cybertruck turning into a mobile data center is like watching a primate become a human
from the forehead
to the vestigial bed
and the opposable trunk
the phenotype was obvious
putting vram in there is not customization
it is puberty

Private members clubs are back. But not your grandfather's kind. No golf. No wood panelling. No old money.
Think ... Cold plunges. Saunas. Hyperbaric oxygen. Rooftop pools. Podcast studios. Art galleries. Coworking. All in one building. $500/month. Invite only.
The Portal just raised $5M for exactly this in Austin. Bathhouse has $41M from Imaginary Ventures and two 35,000 sq ft thermal wellness palaces in NYC. Remedy Place. The Well. NeueHouse. SIRO. A dozen more opening or fundraising right now.
The Portal sold out its Marin membership before the building was even finished.
The old third place was the coffee shop or the bar. The new third place is somewhere you can cold plunge, have a real conversation, work for three hours, eat well, and catch a live set, without leaving the building.
I think the private wellness club is the most interesting category in consumer experiential right now.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's suit is very distinctive. Hard, padded shoulders, dropped buttoning point, and a nicely placed gorge on a wide lapel. Pick stitching appears to be done by hand, not machine. Almost certainly benchmade bespoke. Curious who is the tailor.
