NEVER TRUST THE AMERICANS.

Over the next couple of years, as the UK and EU inch closer to each other, there’s going to be a lot of “UK officials are talking about thing X” stories. So, for everyone’s sake, it would be helpful if people on this website could just be cool about it and not lose their minds every time.

I like this season's Document collection. Document is a Korean menswear brand that used to do minimalist-styled clothing that leaned heavily into distinctive silhouettes, although this season feels more heritage-y. In the US, they are carried at No Man Walks Alone and Namu Shop.

I don’t know if this is still the norm, but years ago, if you joined law enforcement, any tool/weapon you carried (pepper spray, bear spray, taser…other non-lethals) was first used on you. The point being, you knew what happened when you chose to deploy it. I don’t think that’s the case now.

Same old fart who asked about the daughter talking to friend behind me. He wants to retire. Can't find anyone to take over business. Can't find apprentices. Canadian experience.

Meanwhile in table beside me, 2 30 year old skater dudes with fancy skateboards.
