Good thread.
I left Ireland and moved to New York in 1997. Decades on, what the US has become has broken my immigrant heart.
It also baffled me, until I began to piece together Gen X memories of apartheid South Africa.

Good thread.
I got very into Hartley's films during the 90's and enjoyed them for how he showed how weird the experience of everyday life could be through his choices in direction.
Good article looking over his work. Reminds me I should catch up on his more recent films.

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

I started reading this Derek Guy thread looking (successfully, as always) to learn things about tailoring and menswear, but unexpectedly found myself looking at a photo of F. Scott Fitzgerald and realizing somehow I made it this far (and read him a lot) without knowing what he looked like.
