In Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard at @DonmarWarehouse, German star Nina Hoss gives a sympathetic central performance that would succeed under competent direction. Her misfortune is to appear in Australian Benedict Andrews’ production, a marvel of crass misjudgment in so many ways.

"We’re on the new road to serfdom: our property is no longer our own" My views on the ineffectual tinkering currently presented as a solution to the housing crisis - and the drift to collectivism that it signals. Special mention for CS Lewis too. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/02/1…
The UK population in 1997 was 58m. It's now 69m and the vast majority of the increase is down to immigration. That's your housing crisis right there.

@afneil Entirely avoidable if they would listen to the electorate and not the bribes err I meant ‘lobbying’ of rich donors. The carnage will continue until they change policy. Here comes a Labour government with a large Green vote. Well done ‘Conservatives’, you have destroyed it all.
@jacobin The way Jacobin writers so consistently fail to persuade despite their *relentless* earnestness is something I find truly charming. Opening a pro-socialism article by associating *capitalism* with dictatorships is so staggeringly free of self-awareness that it's almost graceful.

@dieworkwear I think you're quite the best account on X. I know nothing about men's tailoring but I've always loathed the tight, short jacket and slim, ill fitting trousers. I now know why. Please, please find someone who can do the same for womenswear.
@dieworkwear Spreading civilization one 🧵 at a time.
@dieworkwear Man, these threads are great Twitter palate cleansers. Such a small detail but makes such a big difference, visually, even if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. Anyone can see it. Cool.
@KARIMAXXING disagree that longer or shorter arms/ torso makes a difference. here are two men with slightly shorter arms for their build. one is wearing a high buttoning point; the other is wearing a lower buttoning point. which silhouette looks better?
But it's worth paying attention to how clothes create shapes. This is more useful than thinking, "Short jackets and slim pants are trending now, so I have to wear that."
