Why Your Gucci Doesn’t Fit →
Ever wondered why your Dolce & Gabbana jacket fits you so well but the Gucci just isn’t right? Well, it’s Antonio Bracciani’s fault. Bracciani is not a designer, a marketer or a manager. He is a fit model. And most of the clothes in the retail collections of Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Z Zegna and Calvin Klein Collection have been made to fit his body. Not yours, not mine, but his. So if you...

WatchProduction Notes for Know Your Meme: Creepy-chan
Allison Harvard (aka Creepy Chan) was the recent runner-up on America’s Next Top Model, but for 3 years prior she was a non-self-posting 4chan camgirl

I think this is a really...

Early bedtime? I’m afraid not! CLE-ORL is still going in O/T. And when that’s done, tonight’s Yankees/Rangers game is only in the 3rd inning after a long delay. Have a cup of coffee, stick around for a while.

Daimler agreed this week to invest $50 million, according to a filing yesterday from closely held Tesla. That values the San Carlos, California-based company at $550 million, or 47 percent as much as GM based on today’s stock price as the automaker faces a probable June 1 bankruptcy.
“It’s sort of amusing to see the valuation being half of General Motors,” Eberhard said in an interview today....

What is up, media? (Ari Moore) →
I think the more I read the news the more irritated I get with the media. I wish they were more critical. I wish they didn’t just repeat each other endlessly. I wish they spent their time more wisely.
But then I remember that capitalism is probably the cause of these ills. If you’re so focused on clicks or issues sold or your stock value, you’ll do anything to get people to...
