When you open the Coinbase app it shows you this call to action to participate in an astroturfing effort to make US Senators think the “general public” agrees with them about passing the crypto bill currently in the senate.
This bill is what coinbase wants— banks don’t like it.
It could have had language to prohibit politicians from profiting from crypto but does not— a big miss.
I also don’t like the “online fake banks” trend. But I need to know more— anyone know more?
now THATS advertising
help!
help someone please help!
the nutmen have attacked and they are running the city now!
whatever do we do 
same— my unease is not helped by the fact that a teaspoon of that stuff would literally kill me.
“dressed like”
I mean. Kind of rude to assume it wasn’t natural. How do you know?
why can’t it just be
“buy our product. we think we did a good job making it. it’s like milk but made of nuts. idk. we ground them up and put them a cute little box with a screw cap (fancy!) just for you! maybe you like that? anyway. if you do we have the nut juice and will be here all day”
Anyone want to hire me to do their ads?
I’ve been here for a minute or two (twenty five years) and I am baffled by this truck, the product, and as they say: who is this man? who is this?
This is exactly what happened I assume.
As someone with nut allergies I feel a little threatened.
Is it just me or does this ad for pistachio milk feel a little… pushy? over ambitious?
What? I don’t even get a say in this?
Just the whole city… captured by big nut.
(I think this would feel less alarming if they’d left off the word “now” — and it would feel less alarming if I didn’t feel so fragile at the moment about strange incomprehensible forces coming in and taking over out of nowhere)

I’m on the subway right now. If we did a photoshoot: made a fashion plate of everyone on this train you’d have styles: from traditional, to counterculture, to glam, to messy. It takes a LOT to stand out.
So, how can a maga woman make it clear she is part of her ideological movement?
It’s hard.
And there is a strong impulse to create those boundaries (in this political moment.)
But, how do you “dress anti-feminist” Show, as a woman, that you will not be a problem?

I find so many interesting things on aliexpress. Can't get enough of it.
And if it makes you happy? Sure. I'm so jealous. So mad. About those extensions and lip filler. You ... you really showed me. You win.
That makes sense. This looks like a fun listen, thanks.
But, I think, and really hope it's *not* sad for the women themselves. The point of the whole look is to have people wonder if you've "had work done" to have some dowdy women with no make up saying "she looks so FAKE" (because we are so jealous obviously) when the "maga face" makes us get quickened out it's a victory for them I think.
Kind of like how a punk enjoys people being scared of their leather and spikes.
I didn't really get that but I do now.
But wouldn't it be sad if nobody cared about fashion despite all of the effort and art and creativity people put into it? Someone needs to care.
(More seriously do not worry about people who Have Opinions if it stresses you out at all. It's literally none of our business and not important.)
Anyway. If you want my fashion advice I do have some:
Get your clothes tailored or learn to sew, or get a friend who can help you. Every day I see people in clothing that isn't correctly fitted and it makes me so sad. (Fit doesn't mean tight or loose it means it's *intentional* not just putting up with the size you stumbled into)
That's the only thing I really get heated about.
You are short and your blazer sleeves are too long.
But the thing I didn't understand was that that "MAGA woman" look that is a little baffling is aspirational. And part of the aspiration is to have people wonder "did she get work done?"
Do you see it now? No one will ever wonder if I've had "work done" I can't afford "work" ... but, the "fakeness" is part of the fantasy and appeal.
I also wonder if being confusing to liberals is part of the appeal. Because, it's the "opposite of a feminist" in their framework.
Few things are more confusing and potentially off-putting than something that's aspirational (class based) in a section of culture or society that you don't have much contact with at all or don't understand.
There has been a lot of muttering and shade about the "look" of the MAGA woman. I've tried to stay away from this conversation. I don't like to criticize anyone's looks. But especially women. Don't women have too many critics?
Too much make-up? Too fake? Who cares really?
Yeah this isn't a sad story of a kid who no one was feeding. It's the story of a stubborn kid whose parents thought "well... maybe if she just struggles a bit she'll figure it out."
My mom gave me $10 glorious late 1980s dollars each week to buy lunch which was $2 per day at the school. I was convinced I could find a better way to spend the money and create lunches.
