I tried a nutter butter, for research, now I'm addicted.
I'm tired of people saying 'trends are dead', referencing moments in social media like 'demure' and such... they don't know what they're talking about.
But it does speak to the state of the platforms where mainstream online culture lives: deep fried. Plagued by derivative, frankestinean media.
This is why I love that Nutter Butter deep fried their own brand, creating new meanings via new, derivative characters and ARG-like lore.
If representations replace the real, can they eventually evolve to convey something entirely different from the original image?
My Uber driver told me he makes swords for people who fight in Central Park. I made my way uptown the very next day—for research.
Armored combat has competitors battling in both category duels and group fights. There’s a strategy behind choosing the right weapons, as there are no clear guidelines for some duels, and weapons “can make or break you in the field,” according to Jesse, a knight I had the chance to interview.
His sword was beautiful, but heavy asf.
Tiffany was squiring for her boyfriend, who spent $700 on his helmet—a bargain, she said. Some helmets can go up to $2,000.
I’d give anything for the Balenciaga Chevalier boots. They’re going for $100,000 now.

Once essential markers of identity, hats signaled social status, profession, and cultural affiliation. In the early 20th century, they were non-negotiable elements of dress, upheld by spoken and unspoken codes.
However, as cultural shifts toward individuality and a break from rigid social structures occurred, these codes loosened, and hats fell out of daily use. The post-war embrace of casualwear and evolving gender norms further pushed hats toward function and comfort over formality.
Today, traditional hats feel like relics of another era. But in a world where current symbols and identity markers are endlessly commodified and stripped of their original meaning, what happens to old hat styles ?
Could we reclaim them?
As fashion returns to heritage, craftsmanship, and intentional style, could top hats challenge the ethos of overconsumption and acquire new social meanings along the way?

What opportunities arise in a post-image world?

Joe Hendry was my favorite part—so over the top, so unserious.
But meme wrestlers like Hendry stray from what makes pro wrestling great: kayfabe.
In its nuance lies its magic.
"I believe" was the mantra of the night: "I believe in Joe Hendry" or "I believe in the House of Glory."
Belief is at the center of wrestling.
This woman screamed at the referee,
"Just check the slow-motion replay—
It was a three-count!"
Is she in on the joke, or is she for real?
I believe!
LET'S GO GRINGO LOCO!
