I for one am sick and tired of groypers appropriating prep. WASP culture is not your costume. If you’re not feeling vague anxiety about the *lack* of black people at the country club and what that says about you, take the boat shoes OFF
The 62 year old in the house tweet is Scott Bessent (he is openly gay and lives in Charleston). He and Elon supposedly got in a physical altercation about DOGE’s lack of savings.
Ngl I’ve been amused that those online rightwingers seem genuinely torn between mommy and daddy - I thought they have no hesitation to take the side of Daddy Trump lol
Trump is Daddy, but Elon doesn't really exude "Son energy." Okay he is often childish, but when you're the richest man in the world, and the "Father of" modern EVs, Reusable rockets, Starlink, and have 14 children . . . you don't seem like a "Son."
The owner of my favorite coffee shop (a true unicorn in the industry) is anti-seed oil. I'm just glad he is otherwise entirely apolitical and would rather burn his phone than engage with any social media discourse.
The coffee and food are RIDICULOUSLY good. It's not the ideal place for vegans, but I appreciate that he puts thought into what he sells even if I don't always agree with the science. Sometimes it's hard to predict who might benefit. (This is a defense of a free marketplace, not a loon like RFK.)
I actually cut out soybean oil and ricebran oil in my family's diet and our health just dramatically improved. Every time i go to trader joe's and get some of those great snacks that are full of ricebran oil, my skin, hair, mind and energy levels just turn into trash. I think there's something real there. Some folks take it too far that they say they avoid having any seeds at all including almonds, which is what makes all of these a meme. But there's definitely something not right about refined oils.
Im vegetarian so I stick to butter and ghee. The seed oil gang doesnt like duck fat for some reason. They dont like anything that's not beef tallow. I dont get it.
A proper matzo ball soup FAR outperforms its simplicity for me. But I do get that if you're not into German or Eastern-European cuisine, Jewish cooking also wouldn't be a hit. It's cold-climate food. It's probably one reason it's hard to find in California, even in places with higher concentrations of Jews. It does not seem appealing when you're shvitzing in 105-degree heat.
I can count on one hand the dresses that I think seem suitable for most summer weddings. A few are cute but would only work at more casual weddings. Most are, in my eyes, downright hideous.
Do you remember when the Target prairie dress* was all the rage? I thought to myself “on the bright side, we can only go up from here.” How wrong I was.
Summer wedding dress! What could they possibly have been thinking? Got a great deal on some brown fabric? (Isn't that the Moscow Mule origin story? Are there still Moscow Mules?)
Newport RI is famously the home of the oldest extant synagogue building. A colonial-era structure. Built a good century before any of DJT's antecedents set foot on this continent.
Living in Montana, one can get pretty used to seeing only white people for days on end. Don't tell anyone though, as this gets the wrong sort of people thinking about moving here.
I will admit that I am sufficiently old and not-social-media-fluent to even understand over half of this post, though I was amused and enjoyed many parts of it and feel I did my duty to attempt to understand how the younger people are communicating online this week! :)
That dress truly must be seen to be believed. And what the heck is with the shoes? Who thought that pink shoes and socks (!) go well with that dress?!? (The obvious rejoinder is "nothing goes well with that dress," which, legit, but could they at least have shown some hand-whittled wooden clogs instead)
Being subscribed to Everlane is kind of an L tbh. It’s clothing for bitchy Asian women who haven’t had a non-vibrator-induced orgasm within the last 18 months.
I’ll fully accept it’s a stupid question, but as a non-native English speaker, I just don’t get what “CHH coded” means — in this particular case, how is a southern kind-of-über-plantation-mansion-like big house in any way supposed to be associated with (?) or approved by(?) CHH, and why would that even be relevant?

100%. There is nothing preppy WASPs love more than an equally preppy, sharply dressed black couple attending their events.
Channeling my ancestors and morphing into Bradley Whitford in get out
I also highly doubt they actually buy them…
Like they don’t go out in the first place…
100% it’s just aesthetic
"I wish Biden were alive to see this" 😂
Gianmarco Soresi always delivers
Two kinds of posters in 2025:
This is fascism (angry face emoji)
This is fascism (Yay!!! Emoji)

At first I thought it was a reference to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
yes and that's why musk had a black eye.
I thought Elon got his black eye from Stephen Miller for Elon doing Miller's wife?
Separate event (although I am skeptical that one is true)
Anytime I see Aella referenced in any context I know its about to get weird.
And I can never predict the direction the weird will take!

It's so weird that the anti-seed oil thing has so quickly become a right wing trope.

Well they taste like garbage for one. I’m a big olive oils supremacist.
Yeah and infused olive oils kick everything a notch higher. I use olive oil when food doesnt demand frying/saute but I use dairy fat for cooking.
Duck fat is amazing for potatoes, would recommend
Im vegetarian so I stick to butter and ghee. The seed oil gang doesnt like duck fat for some reason. They dont like anything that's not beef tallow. I dont get it.
More for me 😈
I feel clued in. Thanks!
I will give the jewish delis two thumbs up. Phenomenal sandwiches. The rest of the food is a hard pass.
The words of someone who never had my bubbe’s brisket and noodle kugel.
I almost added brisket! Ill pass on the noodles

(Israeli cuisine is a whole different thing.)
Latkes are awesome tho, no matter what your local climate is. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
No one can hate a fried potato!
What about the cream soda? Or potato knish? Or borscht with sour cream? (Actually, I've only had the latter from a Bubbe.)
Some friends and I did a Slavic themed dinner recently featuring homemade borscht and pierogi - was incredible.
Literally none of that sounds good. Pastrami on rye sounds good
I had to take a look at the full list of dresses (here’s the link, if anyone’s interested: https://www.theguardian.com/thefilter/2025/jun/06/best-wedding-guest-dresses-uk)
I can count on one hand the dresses that I think seem suitable for most summer weddings. A few are cute but would only work at more casual weddings. Most are, in my eyes, downright hideous.

*No shade to the prairie dress enjoyer. Mostly.
I continue to be mystified by GenZ’s affection for fashions that scream “Chariman Mao’s reeducation camp inmate.”

It's apparently a specious origin story for the Moscow Mule. One truly learns something new every day!

It’s ostentatious and light pink, which is often a way CHH dresses
