Yes the menswear guy is a guy is a lib who makes fun of conservatives a lot, but it’s very funny how mad this makes online conservatives, like shouldn’t the expert on traditional tailoring be a conservative? Why can’t the online conservative ecosystem produce its own menswear guy

new from me in @amconmag , much has been made of Marc Andreessen's "The Techno-Optimist's Manifesto," but the philosophy which underpins the Manifesto is much more similar to what Andreessen's Enemies believe than it might seem at first glance

A common topic of conversation around here: why don't we make things that last, things that are beautiful, things that we can pass down to the next generation? Part of the equation is that craftsmen are dying out. But they're not dying out for the reason you might think.
