... then asked AI to make it sizzle with sexuality
Like Elliot Gould and Grover.
My grandfather used to wear a cowboy hat. He didn't have that many cattle, but he worked as a cattle buyer before the Depression pushed him back to the farm.
More amusing would be a picture of Regan and palling around in cowboy hats
Regan and --> Regan and Goneril
I was composing something about the stylings of his fiancee, Melania comparisons etc., but I kept having trouble making it substantive, and ultimately I decided there was some misogyny in there. Best of luck to her, in finding happiness and/or in milking him for all he's worth.
Something they call it filthy lucre for a reason something
But yeah, there is something going on with the photography itself. I don't have the vocabulary to describe it.
"Drip" ? "Rizz"? Are they the same thing? You all know how I am always wanting to be up on the latest trendy slang, but I need help with the nuances.
Drip (n) = fashionable clothes. Have drip = dressing fashionably or well. (Drip is not a verb in this sense that I'm aware of.) Rizz (n) = charisma. Rizz up (vt) = flirt with.
I think rizz is closer to game than to charisma, but they're all related, I'm told.
I really don't understand these people. Just go enjoy your money!
"Rizz" is etymologically derived from "charisma" but the meaning is closer to "game."
12 is where I am. If I had Greg Gianforte's money, would I have run for Congress or for governor? Absolutely not.
His fiancee's mouth freaks me out a little. More than a little.
Like maybe she's gonna unhinge her jaw.
The photo captioned Lone Star makes me double-take thinking AI-based extra limbs, but it's just the empty jacket arms hanging down.
Bezos and Sanchez are the answer to the question of what would happen if unattractive people with infinite resources devoted those resources to seeming attractive.
19: She just needs to kill Harry Potter.
I think they had better surgeons, but a worse starting point.
I'm 53 and balding. Maybe 52. I can't keep track of everything.
Bezos probably does need a hat of some kind in most outdoor situations.
I could tell without looking at the credits that the photographer was Annie Leibowitz. Everything she's done for decades has a very distinctive look. It's a shitty look, but it's a very clear brand.
21/24: Come now. Sanchez, at least, was noted for her beauty from the start. She was a news anchor and then got into acting. Some older pictures. She's probably had work done, but that's to attempt to freeze the flow of time, with the usual results.
Yeah, it's true. She looked good and tried to fight time, which doesn't go well.
I forget how it turned out, but didn't Loki try?
Is there a picture of Dorian Gray in a cowboy hat?
Steven Tyler looks kind of similar.
I'll write Mickey Rourke's name also. Having a telegenic face and photographable flair for work purposes that turn into self-image looks to be hard on everybody. Kenny Rogers was also supposedly unhappy with how his surgery went.
So many people were teasing him that he started a restaurant chain so that googling "Kenny Rogers Roasters" wouldn't get you people making fun of him.
Ha: Trump is 77 and Bezos is 59, but both Melania Trump and Lauren Sanchez are 53.
l sanchez, based on the vogue photos, is sporting a recklessly natural look per the standards of a generic beverly hills/west hollywood see-&-be-seen setting. yes, the lip situation is not v successful but generally she's exercised restraint.
the SpaceX and Tesla CEO took to X to affirm that his outfit wasn't something he picked up on the way to Eagle Pass, noting, "Just for the record, my boots are 20 years old and my hat is ten years old." In other words,
...in other words, as we all know, men's fashion has not changed since at least 2003.
It's really been the same since the Great Male Renunciation.

The Killer is good. I hope they release it in theater here. But OTOH it is not the film we need but the film we deserve, and we deserve streaming.

I clicked on the name of the author of the Guardian piece and I think if that heap of nonsense was my portfolio of work I would probably shoot myself or change my name and join the Foreign Legion.
44: like so many things, it seems Unfogged's war on the NYT Styles page was fought in vain.

So, first US Supreme Court decision of the term: the ADA tester standing case. Justices went 8-1 saying the case is moot so they wouldn't reach standing, and a slightly different 8-1 vote that the underlying First Circuit opinion should be vacated under Munsingwear. On the latter point, I found Justice Jackson pretty compelling, and I expect this'll come back again some day. God help me I also found Justice Thomas compelling on tester standing. He did a good job distinguishing Havens Realty I thought, but then again, I'm not usually that high on 'armchair attorneys general' cases.
I would support a regulatory set-up where people could file ADA complaints about hotels, hotels could respond without lawyers, and if they're non-compliant, they'd then be given a short grace period to fix their websites. 600 federal court lawsuits by one person in 5 years though burns up a lot of resources, public and private.

46: Yeah, if one person is filing a nice round number like 10 federal suits per month over the course of five years, that sounds like it's something routine enough that there ought to be a routine way to fix it without having to go to federal court. Unless this is something that corporations are failing to do because they think they can get away with laws not applying to them, in which case some exemplary punishments might go a long way toward reducing the future burden on the courts.
My guess is that neither web designers nor small hotels/bnbs have the issue on their radar. This specific issue is fixable.
Broader access to websites? Inaccessibility is epidemic.
The thing about federal court cases is you can demand $10K + correction to drop your case, and so 10 filings a month builds up a decent pot of money to share. Someone with an actual violation would likely have to spend that much or more on a court case. The hotel in this case spent a ton of money, including hiring S Ct litigators, only to have the case just tossed out, because the tester plaintiff gave up. And, of course, get a big enough pot of money going and people you don't necessarily want to have around find their way to you.*
* Her Maryland lawyer -- who wasn't involved in this case which originated in Maine -- is in trouble over cases he handled with her, and the plaintiff dropped to get herself extricated from it. Justice Thomas wasn't buying it, but everyone else was willing to let her get out.
