Just like he beat Hillary in an race about "is this person a crook?" and "do they follow good document retention practices?", he beat Biden in an election decided on the grounds of "do they have a plan for inflation?" and "are they incredibly old and losing it?". We are not a serious country.
looking great, mister president, sir, no president in history has looked better at 175 years old while putting a fake medal on themselves

I've seen it before but this is a wonderful thread.
Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

This thread largely (but not exclusively) focuses on Park's fashion photography, but the man's documentary photography is incredible. Quite possibly the best American photographer of the 20th century. Here's "Untitled, Alabama, 1956", from a series of photos for LIFE: high.org/exhibition/g...

Important request from my family, boosting for visibility.
Ok internet: my kid needs a new pair of nice-ish casual pants but really hates hard pants. He's very slim, & towers above me at 5'7". Adult sizes often fall off without a belt.
Any recs for extremely soft non sweatpants that won't feel like a waste of money bec he'll grow out of them in 2 months?

More emboldened than this?
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.
