Can we talk about Pete Hegseth’s suits, @dieworkwear? I keep thinking they’re too bright (the blue ones) too patterned (okay for sports coat, not suit), too tight (even for a fit body). The collars are too spread. And OMG, the flag-motif jacket linings and pocket square! Why???

Very good conversation with @leehawkins and @marthasjones_ at the @latimesfob on Saturday. Each had done a deep dive into their families’ histories and convincingly drawn connections between the painful parts of our Black past and the pride to overcome it. https://t.co/CWmNh4eDS8

The Oval Office used to be a beautiful room. Now parts of it look like a 19th Century bordello. Countess Luann de Lesseps was right: “money can’t buy you class.”

I immediately thought of Ecclesiastes:”cast your bread upon the water…” when I read this.

This man asked me in the train station if I can pay for him and son to get on the train and spot him $40. He lost his phone and wallet and needed to get on the metro north to Connecticut. He asked for my number to send me back the money. This man sent me back $400. Wtf.

Watching Midcentury Modern on @Hulu. It’s like Golden Girls, only instead of Miami it’s set in Palm Springs. And instead of “girls” it’s guys. It’s actually very clever, but maybe not sustainable. Feels like a televised play. https://t.co/1ZlxDL2bct

“What they could do is act like men and own this mistake—since they ran on this platform of retro masculinity—and accept responsibility…” Tiffany Cross, holding it down, at a tableful of white dudes mansplaining the national security leak.

Acyn @Acyn

Cross: They ran on this whole idea of this pseudo patriotism. Yet everything they're doing runs against making America great. It was never great. So I'm not going to say that again part. I absolutely feel that way. And I think if you had the history that my people had in this https://t.co/bbAZVjmz92

The economy (the price of eggs), the firing and trauma being inflicted on the federal workforce, the civil rights act of 1964 and the Trump’s war on what he calls “DEI” are actually all connected. https://t.co/XDiKVsFCJU
