I would rather run my fingers over that tie knot than a six pack of abs any day.

HOW DOES ONE DO THIS CLASSY MOFO WITCHCRAFT?!
The purple and white ties are tied with a Trinity knot, and here is a video tutorial.
The gold and pink ties are tied with an Eldredge knot, and here is a video tutorial.
If I can find that elusive holy grail, a well-fitting women’s shirt with a buttoned collar (STOP WITH ALL THESE SHIRTS THAT ONLY BUTTON UP TO THE CLEAVAGE - I WILL DECIDE THE RATIO OF SKIN:BUTTONING) and full length sleeves (STOP WITH ALL THESE SHIRTS WITH 3/4 LENGTH SLEEVES - I WILL DECIDE IF I WANT TO ROLL UP MY SLEEVES) that isn’t made of fucking chiffon (OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU CREATE AN EXCELLENT SHIRT DESIGN AND THEN MAKE IT FUCKING TRANSPARENT FUCK YOU) I am so rocking the trinity knot to my next job interview.
I get quite angry about shirts.
OHHHHH MY GOD.
Also, fucking agreed in re: shirts.
Reblogged for hubby’s attention. … Also, for those seeking beautifully made women’s shirts: try Tyrwhitt’s. I’ve got a couple and love them very much, especially the Sea Island cotton ones… so light and silky: it’s amazing stuff. …They also do lovely cashmere.
My son needs to see this
The Cable Company Dickbag Problem →
Susan Crawford for Bloomberg:
The Internet has taken the place of the telephone as the world’s basic, general-purpose, two-way communication medium. All Americans need high-speed access, just as they need clean water, clean air and electricity. But they have allowed a naive belief in the power and beneficence of the free market to cloud their vision. As things stand, the U.S. has the worst of both worlds: no competition and no regulation.
Such an important and easy-to-understand post. Essentially, the U.S. has fallen behind (and continues to fall farther behind) in high speed internet access because of deregulation gone-bad. It allowed greedy dickbags (the cable companies) to do what they do best (perfect being greedy dickbags).
Just read about how many millions of dollars each of them spend in lobbying to ensure that communities continue to have to pay them (many more) millions for sub-par service. Total. Fucking. Dickbags.
I hope Google (or someone) succeeds in their (insanely expensive) end-around approach. Because it’s pretty clear the government isn’t going to do shit at this point. I wrote this post almost three years ago — what has changed in the meantime? Absolutely nothing. It’s gotten worse. And it will keep getting worse.
ugh
Oh yeah. Here kitty kitty!
