Christianists, Extremists “Black people certainly can be proud of the fact that they’re Black people. Asians, Hispanics, gay people — every demographic group you can name can and should be proud of their membership in that group except white men. “The only feelings that white men are permitted to feel about their group identity are remorse, shame, and disgust.

Bill Cassidy — amazing the less pompous and self-regarding of Louisiana’s two senators — has a particular role within the Republican caucus. He claims to the party’s conscience of healthcare policy, expressing abstract support for access to healthcare and opposition for measures that would protect public health. And then he inevitably folds like a sandcastle in a hurricane and supports Republican policies to take away access to healthcare and injure public health.

I see Charlie Warzel and Chris Hays on Bluesky asking for help in understanding why some of us have our hair on fire about the Musk boys messing with the computers. And even some indications here at LGM that people don’t understand. So let me give it a try. I don’t consider myself a computer person – I gave up coding a very long time ago and used it only to solve mathematical problems connected with chemistry, not the inner workings of the computers themselves.

It’s rare to have any good news at all. But if we are wanting some, plus if we are wanting to have a sense of how we are doing as left of center folks going forward, special elections are the way to go. And this one in the Iowa senate is a very good one. Iowa Democrats have flipped a state Senate seat vacated earlier this year by Chris Cournoyer, who resigned to become the state’s new lieutenant governor.

Decades ago, a cheap form of extraction called mountaintop removal coal mining blew up summits and shoved the detritus — sugar maples, salamanders, song birds — down hill. While federal law required these moonscapes to be leveled and replanted, reclaimed strip mines no longer resemble mountains. Instead of lush eastern woodlands, they look more like dry western plains.

I was wondering when we would just see the Trump administration outright say that this was a government by white men, for white men. Look who Marco Rubio’s Undersecretary of State is going to be: A conservative author who has spread conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and written on social media that “competent white men must be in charge” has been named to a top post at the State Department.

Two categories of people have the least wealth in the US, according to an analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis: Black and Hispanic women who have never married.
The research focused on the 23% of adults who have never been married, which strips out any outside sources of wealth that could come from being divorced or widowed, for instance. That population has significantly less wealth than married couples, according to St. Louis Fed research.

Fashion's endless game of creative director musical chairs ebbs and flows like an unsmiling ocean, engulfing promising young talents before tossing them out to shore, waterlogged and breathless. Only the rare few designers survive the riptide — a fair number are hurled back nearly as quickly as they're pulled under.

In February, Alexander McQueen teased its new era with newly-appointed creative director Seán McGirr. The preview featured skull masks, tartan prints, and McQueen muses Debra Shaw and Frankie Rayder, all house icons used to lay the groundwork for the "new McQueen."McGirr's Alexander McQueen launched on a rainy Saturday in Paris during women's fashion week.

Meet the new Moschino, absolutely nothing like the old Moschino. For an entire decade, American designer Jeremy Scott riffed on the 40-year-old Italian house's inherent campiness but the party's over: new creative director Adrian Appiolaza has brought Moschino into its quiet luxury era. That's not a good or bad thing, mind you, just an obvious takeaway from even briefly glimpsing at Moschino Fall/Winter 2024, Appiolaza's first collection at the house.
