Cher’s outfit reveals on The Cher Show (1975) designed by BOB MACKIE — who passed away today at the age of 87.
Bob Mackie has died at 87. The Sultan of Sequins gave us Cher, Carol Burnett, Diana Ross, Tina Turner and generations of performers dressed in glamour, wit, feathers, rhinestones and glorious excess. His work wasn't just fashion. It was camp as high art. Thank you, Bob. #BobMackie #QueerHistory
This is a neat way of making a profound point.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 5d agoIt's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

For over a decade, Adobe put "(Legacy)" after "Save for Web..." in Photoshop because they were trying to make "Export As..." happen. Now they've finally caved, and even given Save for Web a nice update.
One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26
This stopped me in my tracks. An independent study by @qmul.bsky.social has found that after ULEZ was introduced, children’s lungs grew faster in Central London and have now caught up with children outside of the capital. Incredible.

People are weird about books. It’s a kind of quasi-intellectual fetish. Don’t get me wrong. I love them. But reading books is not an intrinsically smarter thing to do than social media. It’s just a class signifier.
ICYMI, the Dobby grave story was completely fake. Like, just, totally not true in any way.

What if someone told you there's MORE than one horse? Have you ever considered that?
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
Watching Avatar: Fire And Ash on Vision Pro, I noticed there is a 3D error in the final action scene. One of the boats in the background appears closer to camera than another boat in front of it! A rare technical flub for a James Cameron movie.
I feel like you could win a bet by asking "by distance, what is the nearest NHL team to Sri Lanka" and then drop the answer "the Edmonton Oilers" (via r/hockey post, "Closest NHL franchise to every point on earth")
I love that LGBTQ Nation felt the need to say "who is gay" when referring to legendary homosexual John Waters. And then went on to helpfully translate Las Culturistas as The Culturists. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/john...

In the public beta of Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah, the application icons were actually perfect squares. So a consistent, squarish shape for icons has a long history on the Mac @gruber.foo daringfireball.net/2026/07/elim...
Apple Should Eliminate the App Icon ‘Squircle Jail’
Shape was often the most iconic thing about an icon. Now it’s no part at all.

Sure. All software companies are commercial enterprises built on open source work. Open source work can use more funding and resources, but freely building on other people's work in software is healthy and GOOD. That's how we can build, and innovate, and fix bugs. I've worked with the best...
So how is that sleep deprivation and tearing out hearts going? 💅 🏴
