☆ Rich Young Men Want This Famous $7,000 Herman Miller Eames Chair
  + stars: | 2024-04-28 | by ( Emily Stewart | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +12 min
"The Eames chair is basically meme status," said Joel Vanderveen, a 35-year-old from Minnesota who created a subreddit about a decade ago dedicated to all things Eames. "Until the last 10 years, when people would say to me they had an Eames chair, I never knew which one they meant," Kirkham said. The Eames chair is one of those rare luxury goods that checks all those boxes for novices and experts alike, in his view. Not everyone with the Eames chair has a new one, an expensive one, or even a real one. The Eames chair seems eco-friendly, too — they're not going to be tossing it out in two years.

☆ The viral 'Twitter menswear guy' just wants an affordable home in a walkable neighborhood
  + stars: | 2024-03-16 | by ( Eliza Relman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
It belongs to San Francisco-based fashion writer Derek Guy, also known as the "Twitter menswear guy" behind the @dieworkwear account. But, increasingly, he's been sounding off on his other passion: affordable housing. "I'm probably never going to be able to afford a home in San Francisco, that's my guess, or anywhere in the Bay Area, unless I move really, really, really far out," he said. But Guy has written about how diversity in cities — made possible by affordable housing — is essential for creative inspiration. How about you put me in the middle of a ton of affordable housing."

☆ True or not, DeSantis can't escape the raised boot rumors as his campaign falters
  + stars: | 2023-11-01 | by ( Madison Hall | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Menswear experts and others have alleged DeSantis wears lifts in his boots to make him look taller. Videos on TikTok of users giving their own thoughts on DeSantis' boots have garnered millions of views. If it was the beginning of the campaign or if DeSantis held a commanding lead, the attention to DeSantis' footwear would likely be another speed bump in a long campaign. October has come and gone, and with two months to go until the Republican presidential caucuses in Iowa, DeSantis is still miles behind Trump in national polling.

☆ Do Dress Sneakers Belong in the Oval Office?
  + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Guy Trebay | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Think of it as a rare instance of cross-aisle consensus or else a sartorial trend gone badly wrong. But it did not go unnoticed when, in a photograph from the Oval Office posted to President Joe Biden’s account this week, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, Senator Mitch McConnell and Representative Hakeem Jeffries were all captured wearing some variant of the dreaded footwear hybrid: the sneaker shoe. Weighing in on Twitter, cult men’s wear commentator Derek Guy (@dieworkwear) called out the footgear as a clear lapse in dignity, if not actual protocol. Why pay a visit to a sitting president dressed in shoes designed for power-walking at the mall? “Awful,” Yang-Yi Goh, style director of GQ, pronounced the shoe that has become a style default among Capitol Hill staffers.
☆ This chronically online writer believes he gamed Twitter's For You algorithm. Here's how he made his tweets go viral.
  + stars: | 2023-03-05 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
Ryan Broderick noticed engagement on his tweets sharply dropped in recent months. There were a few things Broderick noticed about tweets on the For You page. Broderick also saw that Twitter's algorithm was prioritizing "already-viral" content, which he suspects might be the reason why everyone was seeing the same tweets. This Insider reporter saw Broderick's tweets about Marvel and his theory about Twitter's algorithm on the For You tab before following or interviewing Broderick. Broderick encourages the idea of other people using his method to try to game Twitter's algorithm and further highlight the problem.
