Remains of the Day (06/26)




I would never be a Republican for all the reasons I never have been. They’re too religious, they’re fiscal hypocrites who absolutely hate it when American spends money it doesn’t have except when they’re in office and then it’s always completely OK, they’re in denial about racism (which, yes, is still a thing), they think climate change is a hoax and the weather girl’s tits are real and they’re always blaming the underprivileged when they should be blaming the overprivileged.

When J. Crew Catalogs Were the Biggest Deal in Fashion

If International Male was hardcore porn for the burgeoning gay back in the day, J. Crew was definitely the source of some softcore fantasies. Long before the Abercrombie & Fitch quarterly, we had to get our kicks where we could -- and not every thrill involved a mesh tank top. 

Now a new book looks back at the publication that apparently got straight people (and actual fashion seekers) pretty excited too.

 

Eric Spitznagel writes:

Thirty-five years ago, print media was having a renaissance.

And the uncontested leader of the medium, with more cultural relevance than most magazines or books, was a clothing catalog, delivered free of charge to every home in America, 14 times a year.

During the ’80s and early ’90s, J.Crew was more than just a clothing mail-order business.

Their catalogs embodied “the delicate brine of a clambake wafting in the air; the particular romance of a misty morning at a rustic lakehouse,” writes Maggie Bullock, author of “The Kingdom of Prep: The Inside Story of the Rise and (Near) Fall of J.Crew” (Dey Street Books).

In other words, they offered a fantasy, something that customers weren’t getting from conventional retail. 

Kelly Hill, a future catalog stylist for J. Crew, told Bullock that during her college years in the late ’80s, the “arrival of a new J.Crew catalogue was an event.” Hill’s roommates would “pour over each glossy page, beer in hand, shrieking over their favorite characters.”

It was a ritual that had little to do with shopping. This wasn’t something college students did “with Lands’ End or L.L.Bean,” Bullock writes. “You didn’t do it with Glamour or Vogue, either.”

The two were identified, according to the affidavit, after a co-worker of Hunter Seefried told the FBI that Hunter had “bragged about being in the Capitol with his father on January 6, 2021. 

Is there no middle ground between executing someone for pretending to honk a sleeping woman’s boobs and this?!!! 

Speaking of Gaetz: He is awful and deserves to be prosecuted for whichever laws he broke, but a few points: The Daily Beast embarrassingly referred to one of his alleged sex partners as someone "whose name we are withholding" because she had only turned 18 six months BEFORE the encounter. (Um, there's an age of consent for a reason -- you don't get to try to make it seem worse than it is with moralizing judgments like this.) Secondly, I'm not sure the intent of the sex-trafficking law was (or should have been) your own sex partners. Lastly, if the women whose Seeking Arrangement ads Gaetz and friend Joel Greenberg were responding to were of age, aren't we getting into "shaming sex workers and their johns" grounds here? If the men misused funds to pay for these encounters, that's a problem. But not if they paid with their own money. Just wish people would focus on the actual issues here -- there seem to be plenty of them without piling on.

Sen. Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) dismissed the commission as a pointless exercise. “President Biden knows that he doesn’t even have the votes in his own party to pack the court; he knows that court packing is a nonstarter with the American people; and he knows that this commission’s report is just going to be a taxpayer-funded door stopper,” he said. 

"breaking up another moralizing evangelical politician’s marriage by causing them have affairs somehow" 

Peace on Earth 

As always, guns are used to win arguments and settle scores -- not self-protection  

I guess we just have to be thankful he wasn't packing heat 

It's hard to put into words how far off Manchin's way of looking at things is  

The additional funding would ensure that workforce complaints -- “including those related to white supremacy or ideological and non-ideological beliefs” -- are investigated quickly, according to a summary of Biden’s budget proposal. 

These two make me proud to be an American (again) 


Wait, what is the "joke"? That thing's as serious as a heart attack.

Awww. Taken too soon. :-( 

My friends back home can't take much more 

Pure sex. (His son, too.) 

If what is alleged by an ex-girlfriend is true this guy sounds like a real piece of shit -- but do we really need to know about this at all? I guess Twitter is now the Yelp for all relationships 

Click through to see the ass shot the director worked into the script ... 

The late actress had a long career. But her comic precision and delivery as Lucille Bluth made her memorable in the internet’s shortest form. 

In “Lonesome Dove,” “The Last Picture Show” and dozens more novels and screenplays, he offered unromantic depictions of the long mythologized American West

I still don't understand my progressive brothers and sisters on this. These kids may very well be horrible people -- one of them went on to speak at the f**king GOP convention. But anyone who has examined the videos or has taken even a cursory look at the facts knows they really didn't do anything wrong -- the Black Hebrew Israelites verbally assaulted them, then the Native American "victim" lied about everything -- and running around smearing these kids because you are projecting what you think they must have been thinking probably wasn't the right thing to do. Both CNN and the Washington Post -- with all the protections American media enjoy -- settled with Nick "I smirked because I was in an incredibly uncomfortable situation so I must be a monster' Sandmann for a reason. I'm not saying Kathy owes them any money. But the media got it wrong and so did she, so I'm not sure gloating is the way to go here. (Now can we never think of them again?)

After Trump tried to intervene in the 2020 vote, state Republicans are moving to take more control of elections 

I'm guessing Darrell forgot when Trump, like so many Republicans have before him, said the GOP would ‘never’ win elections again if it was easier to vote

As scary and sad as this is, it needed to happen because it's the perfect visual representation of what GOP lawmakers have been inviting and condoning these past four years -- and just how un-American it is to go through with this entirely baseless objection to the certification.


Trump didn't get the most votes in 2016 and he didn't get the most votes in 2020. And now that he's cost the GOP the House, the White House and the Senate, it's time for Republicans to put demagoguery behind them and become a real political party again ... if not for the sake of democracy, so that we don't all have to fear for our safety just because the pendulum inevitably swings.

P.S. Trump needs to be impeached and removed by the end of the day so he can never run for federal office again.

  Also, something tells me if Trump wanted to do a photo-op at the Capitol right now, that crowd would be dispersed in seconds.

Protesting because of systemic racism in policing resulting in the execution of black people and protesting because "your guy" didn't win a free and fair election are the same thing, right?
