Mariam Rahmani·Follow3 min read·--Dojang lessons for AI engineers? I’m a huge fan of Master P.’s classes. She’s an eighth-degree black belt and the true embodiment of martial arts.

I’m calling it. As far as rom-coms go, 2024’s the year of the cougar. Anne Hathaway falls in love with a pop star in The Idea of You.

I only sleep in silk. It’s a bit of a dirty secret. This isn’t the type of thing you want to admit to a friend, much less a stranger. It’s undemocratic. Polyester isn’t good enough for you? Rayon, viscose, all the leaps and bounds made in synthetics — don’t you believe in science? Fine silk runs through the fingers like soft water. It drapes without hiding your lines or curves — but can, if woven with enough heft, still deliver on structure. In the right color, it is impervious to sweat.
