the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

Two photos. The first show JFK Jr. with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy walking their dog. The second shows JFK Jr. setting his bike against some pole.

Two photos. The first shows JFK Jr. wearing a navy suit and scarf as he exits a building while riding a bike. The second shows him walking in purple gym shorts, a black t-shirt, and some sneakers.

Two photos. Both show JFK Jr. walking with Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. In the first photo Carolyn Bessette Kennedy is wearing a black coat with blue jeans, while JFK Jr. is wearing a black vest, dark colored shirt, and taupe trousers. In the second photo, JFK Jr. is wearing a brown jacket with tan pants, while Carolyn Bessette Kennedy has a long charcoal coat and black boots.

Two photos. Both show JFK Jr. in sweats while rolleerblading. In one photo, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and a dog are with him.

Wrote something for @thetimes.com about why JFK Jr. is popular again. IMO, what you're admiring isn't just his handsome looks and style, but the fact that he lived in walkable urban neighborhoods and had enough time for exercise, hobbies, and a lover.

honestly can't hate bc that's the type of thing i'd tweet in february so they don't deport my immigrant ass and then delete in march so they don't conscript my immigrant ass

On February 22, 2026, Naval Ravikant tweeted: "If you're unwilling to defend your country in time of war, then you're a tourist, not a citizen." As of March 3, 2026, the tweet has been deleted.

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

interesting that it's taken as a given that the US should have a hand in shaping who the iranian people choose as their leader

what if it's the CEO of the Center for Neurodiverse Human Rights?

lots of ppl said they support neurodivergence until it's a mcdonald's CEO

every time i look at instagram, i feel like im the only adult who doesn't know how to make money

just trained AI to remember all of my friends' birthdays, send an automated AI-generated email saying "happy birthday," call them using an AI-generated video of me, scan all of their online info so i buy the perfect birthday gift, which i'll deliver using an AGI robot that looks like me

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

manufacturing consent through lowly paid influencers

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

the year is 2030. a doctor gravely informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people who felt bad for a monkey bought polyester plushies that shed millions of microplastics in the laundry that were were eventually consumed by the fish that you ate

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP 🫡 IT WOULD BE MY HONOR FOR MY SMALL BUSINESS TO DIE IN YOUR TRADE WAR 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

first time i "toured" a home on zillow, i thought it was the most beautiful home i'd seen in my life. i dreamt of one day living in such a home. after four years of browsing zillow, that home looks normal and boring. comparison is really the thief of joy.

A man sitting on a leather couch while wearing a brown cabled turtleneck and a pair of charcoal whipcord trousers

Two photos. The first shows a man reading a book while wearing a ochre, brushed Shetland sweater with a white button-up shirt and grey flannel trousers. The second shows a man wearing a buffalo checked sport coat with a brown cabled turtleneck, grey pleated whipcord trousers, and a belt with a Native American buckle.

Two photos. The first shows a man wearing a gun club sport coat with tan brushed Shetland crewneck sweater and dark colored, double-needle sewn pants. He's on a couch sitting next to a man with a dark colored Shetland layered over a collared shirt. The second photo shows a man wearing a patch-pocket sport coat with flannel trousers and a turtleneck. The turtleneck can barely be seen because the jacket's lapels have been turned up.

A photo of two men standing next to a stone wall. The first shows a man wearing a grey flannel suit with a charcoal turtleneck. A blue denim chore coat has been layered on top of the suit. The second man is wearing a golden brown corduroy jacket, cream sweater with a crossover collar, and grey whipcord trousers. He has a solid brown-colored scarf knotted around his neck.

To be clear, I don't think you should treat this thread as a shopping list. Building a wardrobe requires careful thought and consideration. But for what the average household spent on tariffs last year alone, you could build a significant wardrobe — even items made in the USA.

A pack of Buck Mason's Toughknit t-shirts.

A man wearing one of Buck Mason's t-shirts.

So far we have:

Navy sport coat: $358
Oxford cloth shirt: $125
Casual pants: $133
Dress pants: $283
Shetland sweater: $157
Sweatshirt: $99
Pair of shoes: $205
Casual jacket: $250

That's $1610, leaving us with $90. Personally, I'd spend that on a pack of Buck Mason's MiUSA Toughknit tees.

A faded Lee 101 trucker jacket.

Bruce Boyer wearing an olive Alpha Industries field jacket with an olive sport coat, grey trousers, brown split toe shoes, light blue shirt, and pale colored tie.

Simon Crompton wearing a navy Gloverall duffle coat with a grey sport coat, grey trousers, navy scarf, and red beanie.

A man wearing an olive waxed cotton Barbour with a blue denim trucker jacket underneath. He's also wearing tan chinos and a blue ball cap.

CASUAL JACKET

Again, there are limitless options. A Lee 101 trucker can cost anywhere from $50 for vintage to $325 for something brand new. A field jacket can be $50 vintage to $225 for Alpha Industries. A used Gloverall Monty duffle or Barbour can be had for about $250 on eBay.

A man wearing a red Freeman's Sporting Club jacket with a grey hoodie, black pants, and black Blundstones.

A pair of faded light blue Van's Authentic sneakers.

Suede chukkas offer a similar level of formality and thus versatility (Meermin again has some for $235). Blundstones are better if you want something more casual ($210). And there's no shortage of classic sneakers: AF1s, Vans Authentics, GATs, etc (~$150)

Avg cost: $205

Two pairs of Meermin's loafers — one pair if black, the other is brown.

SHOES

Unfortunately, there are too many footwear options to cover and much depends on your climate and lifestyle. If you want something you can wear with tailoring and casualwear in a warmer climate, Meermin has Goodyear welted loafers for $230.

A man sitting on a car while wearing a blue Bosie Shetland with big blue pants.

A man on a basketball court wearing a grey sweatshirt and blue shorts, both from J. Crew.

KNITWEAR

Let's now get you some knitwear. Bosie's Shetlands are more textured than the basic smooth Merinos you find everywhere, so they'll add visual interest ($157). J. Crew's Heritage 14oz sweatshirt is stout, easily washable, and adds something for casualwear ($99)
