At the Sunrise Café...

... you can talk about whatever you want.

Somehow the most depressingly dressed mannequin is the one somebody thought needed a sign telling you not to try on its clothes.

Posted: 16 Apr 2022 08:58 AM PDT

I wished I'd included more of the hat, but I don't think stores like you taking pictures, so I was sneaking this. The sign says "Display only/Please do not try on/Please see a team member for more details/We apologize for any inconvenience."

IMG_9957 

Well, fine. But will you apologize for being so depressing? This is the saddest outfit I have ever seen, especially if you include the sign and the overall setting, replete with brown carpet and brown pillar. [And the mask!]

What sorry looking retail establishment was Althouse patronizing? Whole Foods.

"Many people wish there wouldn’t be this huge pressure on 'What’s the next big "It" plant?' It has this peak where it’s $400..."

Posted: 16 Apr 2022 08:32 AM PDT

"... and then Costa gets it, it goes out to all Walmarts and Ikeas and whatever across the country, and so now it's $19.99 and nobody wants it anymore."

Said Katie Dubow, president of Garden Media Group, quoted in "The Fiddle Leaf Fig Is Dead/Meet the man working to put the next big 'It' plant on every windowsill in North America" (NYT).

This gets my "interior decoration" tag, because we're talking about decorating with plants, and as I explained a few years ago...  

The topic How to Decorate with Plants plagued me back in the 1970s when I had the job (in marketing research) of writing code numbers on all the articles in an endless stream of magazines. There was a number for interior decoration and a number for plants, and we had to pick one, and then — having picked one — stick to the same code number when the topic came up again. Decorating with plants kept coming up. It turned out to be a big women's magazine topic circa 1975, but we kept forgetting which code number we'd assigned to that first decorating-with-plants article, and it wasn't easy digging up what we only vaguely remembered. Was it in House & Garden or House Beautiful or Better Homes and Gardens? Or was it in one of the women's magazines? Ladies Home Journal or Woman's Day or Family Circle or Good Housekeeping.... We had stacks of those magazines, real paper magazines, on actual shelves....

It's funny to me that houseplants are so important to young people today because I remember the 70s houseplants craze. Here's Wikipedia's list of 1970s fads and trends. Pick a few that you think might liven up our insufficiently fun America. I'm picking sideburns, opera windows, tetherball, and blacklight posters.

A fascinating slip by Tucker Carlson (at 1:43):

"The book 'Bad and Boujee: Toward a Trap Feminist Theology" by Jennifer M. Buck, a white academic at a Christian university, was... widely condemned on social media as poorly executed and... cultural appropriation...."

Posted: 16 Apr 2022 06:46 AM PDT

"The theologian Candice Marie Benbow, author of 'Red Lip Theology,' was 'livid' to learn that a white academic had published a book about the theology of trap feminism — an emerging philosophy that examines the intersection of feminist ideals, trap music and the Black southern hip-hop culture that gave rise to it. 'It matters that you have an academic text that would situate Black women's lived experiences and Black women's spirituality, and it's not written by a Black woman,' she said.... In a statement, Wipf and Stock Publishers said... 'We humbly acknowledge that we failed Black women in particular, and we take full responsibility for the numerous failures of judgment that led to this moment.... Our critics are right.' Among the objections raised, the publisher said, were the book's cover, which features a young Black woman with natural hair, and which Benbow called intentionally misleading and 'profoundly racist,' and the lack of endorsement by Black experts.... [Sesali Bowen, a pioneer of the concept of trap feminism] found Buck's use of Black vernacular 'weird and cringey'.... '[Trap queen'] is not what Black women from the hood call themselves,' Bowen said. 'The fact that she has latched onto that specific terminology is weird, and it speaks to a surface-level relationship that she has with this particular community.'"

From "A White Author's Book About Black Feminism Was Pulled After a Social Media Outcry/The book 'Bad and Boujee' centers on Black women's experience, but critics said it was written by a white professor and was flawed in its execution" (NYT).

Would you look at this cover and mistakenly believe that's a photo of the author?

Maybe not, because the title is putting down this person. That is in-your-face mean, but I doubt the author designed the book cover. It's no wonder the publisher has responded vigorously. 

I'm interested in the small-print part of the title, "Toward a Trap Feminist Theology." That implies that the author is not merely writing about something other people are doing but is proposing and promoting her own way of thinking. Combined with the photograph, it does strongly suggest that the author is black. That is the publisher's fault.

"Poison pills have been around for decades... Netflix adopted a poison pill in 2012 to stop [Carl] Icahn from buying up its shares. Papa John’s used one against..."

Posted: 16 Apr 2022 05:50 AM PDT

"... the pizza chain's founder and chairman, John Schnatter, in 2018. Investors rarely try to get around a poison pill by buying shares beyond the threshold set by the company, according to securities experts. One said it would be 'financially ruinous,' even for Mr. Musk. But Mr. Musk, who is worth more than $250 billion... rarely abides by precedent.... Twitter is the 'de facto town square,' Mr. Musk said, adding that 'it's really important that people have the reality and the perception that they are able to speak freely within the bounds of the law.... My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization'...."

From "Twitter Counters a Musk Takeover With a Time-Tested Barrier/The company is intent on fending off the billionaire's bid to buy it in a deal that could be worth more than $40 billion" (NYT).

The poison pill is that "if Mr. Musk bought more than 15 percent of the company, Twitter would flood the market with new stock that all shareholders except Mr. Musk could buy at a discounted price."
