My fave was Freddy Krueger. Wisdom Kaye has such talent for transforming popculture (and country's flags!) into wearable art

Maison Margiela Couture FW25, Glenn Martens

Not sure the inspiration, but I get strong Zdzisław Beksiński vibes from the collection. Desolate eerie beauty and a surreal horror of decay

Maryhill Stonehenge Memorial:
"When Hill visited England during the 1914-18 conflict, he saw Stonehenge. He was told it was used for human sacrifices to pagan gods. He remarked “After all our civilization, the flower of humanity still is being sacrificed to the god of war”."

Haven't been happy with Duolingo for a while now. Since they're going "AI first" & using it for performance evals & hiring, I've deleted it.

BUT!! Lingonaut is on the way! The subreddit users are building a better, human driven platform. Take my money!

This is the tactic that Democrats should be using and publicizing in red district town halls. If you don't think American children with cancer should be deported raise your hand. Then name each silent politician. Same for tariffs, for vets, for medicare and free speech

I wholeheartedly agree but maybe first convict Trump et al of violating the STOCK Act, Section 18.

Like right fking NOW??

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STOCK_Act
Section 18 of STOCK Act of 2012 reads: Amends the federal criminal code to subject to a fine or imprisonment of up to 15 years, or both, as well as possible disqualification from holding federal office, certain covered government persons, in addition to Member of Congress and congressional employees, who with the intent to influence, on the basis of partisan political affiliation, an employment decision or employment practice of any private entity: (1) takes or withholds, or offers or threatens to take or withhold, an official act; or (2) influences, or offers or threatens to influence, the official act of another. Extends the meaning of "covered government person" (currently restricted to Members of Congress and congressional employees) to include the President, Vice President, an employee of the U.S. Postal Service or the Postal Regulatory Commission, or any other executive branch employee.
