Wait what guy who hadn't read Atlas Shrugged?

I was pretty sure I'd told this story here, but a cursory search suggests that I have not. Okay let's gooooo

Many moons ago, I worked in an emergency services call centre. I worked nights- I could get regular shifts, it paid well, and I am a huge freak, just like everyone else who works nights in a call centre. It is a lifestyle that attracts freaks. Some of my coworkers weren't full-time creatures of the night, but students or whoever who picked up occasional nights for the extra money, and one of them was Libertarian Shithead, who we'll call LS for short.

LS was a twentysomething white dude who wore a lot of name brand surfwear and designer sunglasses. I assume his parents were rich. LS loved nothing better than recreational arguing. Unfortunately, he wasn't very good at it; he had some of the most dogshit opinions I've ever encountered in the wild, and was terrible at defending them. He'd say some crap about how Gattaca-type eugenics is Fine, Actually, because if you let people make designer babies, the ~*Free Market will decide what traits are desirable! Racism and colourism and ableism and sexism and intersexism won't affect those choices at all! And I'd get mad, because I have principles to speak of, and we'd get into it, and WITHOUT FAIL, we'd get maybe halfway into an actual discussion about whatever horseshit garbage he was on tonight, and the second he thought he was losing, he'd say "oh, well. I'm an ~*Objectivist, so you can't really understand my perspective unless you've read Ayn Rand." Then he'd sigh, and change the subject.

At the time I had not read any Ayn Rand. Being fundamentally powered by spite, I withstood maybe three weeks of this shit before I pirated an epub of Atlas Shrugged, put it on my e-reader, and proceeded to slam through it at supersonic speed so I could finally get to finish an argument with this terrible boy.

Anon, I fucking hated Atlas Shrugged. The book is bad. It's way too long, every single character is an unbelievable douche, the prose sucks. Ayn Rand wants to fuck a train so so so badly, but the prose is so turgid I couldn't even get invested in how much she wants to fuck a train. And the core of the matter, the politics I was there to understand, are, y'know. Objectivist. Eye-bleedingly selfish and capitalistic, expressed in amazingly childish and blinkered terms. Even the bits where it seems like the shithead capitalist dudes want to fuck each other are too mired in the scunge of Rand's terrible views to be enjoyable.

But I read the fucking thing! I powered through it with only quite minimal complaining! I finished the book on the train to work, and when I saw that LS was on that night, I plonked myself in a seat by him, and metaphorically cracked my knuckles, ready to fuckin' party. In a perfect world, I would have been cool enough to have waited for the perfect mid-argument moment to drop, but I didn't. I think I lasted exactly until we were both off a call at the same time, and then leaned in as close as the desk dividers would let me, and said "So I finished Atlas Shrugged. I have some thoughts."

I cannot overstate how quickly it became obvious that LS had not read the book. For a hot second I thought maybe it had just been a while and the fine details had escaped him, but no; he didn't know who half the characters were, or key points of the plot, or even know any of the stuff in the John Galt speech, i.e. the big juggernaut of Here's How Objectivism Works near the end of the book about Objectivism that this fucking guy hypothetically based his Objectivist views on. It took me maybe five minutes, in between calls, to realise this, and another five for him to admit he hadn't actually read any Ayn Rand. He'd read her Wikipedia page.

ANYWAY I didn't speak to him for like a month after that, and I don't think either of us lost out there!

#at the time I was very angry #but in hindsight I think it was very funny #storytime #ask me ask me ask me #anonymice

Image sources (L to R): 1, 2, 3

this is some design nerd¹ shit, but, okay, i was on the stüssy website, which, yes, i'm probably too old for at this point, but like, i'm in the market for baggy pants, i go where the call of the baggy pants takes me—anyway, their new arrivals include the central vase above, which is already a little weird because fundamentally they're, like, a skatewear brand, right? but i took one look at it and went, huh, that looks awfully familiar; and like, look at the vases on the left and right, above: i think you'd be hard-pressed to argue it wasn't, shall we say, in dialogue with them!

which is mostly wild because like. those are vases designed by finnish architect alvar aalto almost ninety years ago, how in the world did we get from there to here! i guess it's like, stüssy started out selling orange county surfwear, and aalto is finnish for wave??? anyway. hashtag web weaving or something—

Image sources: L, R

⸻ ¹ design nerd is an exaggeration, those aalto vases are, like, the opposite of obscure and i don't want you thinking i'm claiming otherwise. however.

Bolsonarista business executives defend a coup d'état if Lula is elected in Brazil

Business executives who support Jair Bolsonaro openly defend a coup d'état if Lula is elected in the country’s elections in October, defeating the current president. The possibility of a democratic rupture was the maximum point of an escalation of radicalism that sets the tone of the WhatsApp group ‘Entrepreneurs & Politics’, created last year and whose exchanges of messages have been followed for months by the column. The explicit defense of a coup, made by some members, adds to a posture common to almost all: systematic attacks on the Federal Supreme Court (STF), the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), and any people or institutions that oppose the authoritarian impetus of the Bolsonaro administration.

The group brings together big business executives from different parts of the country, such as Luciano Hang, owner of Havan; Afrânio Barreira, from the Coco Bambu Group; José Isaac Peres, owner of shopping mall giant Multiplan; José Koury, owner of Barra World Shopping, in Rio de Janeiro; Ivan Wrobel, from construction company W3 Engenharia; and Marco Aurélio Raymundo, known as Morongo, owner of the surfwear brand Mormaii.

Support for a coup d'état to prevent Lula's eventual inauguration was made explicit on July 31. José Koury, owner of the Barra World mall and with extensive experience in the real estate market in Rio de Janeiro, was the one who addressed the issue, saying that he preferred a break with the Workers’ Party (also known as PT, of which Lula is member). Koury also defended that Brazil's return to being a dictatorship would not prevent the country from receiving foreign investment. “I prefer a coup than the return of the PT. A million times. And certainly no one will stop doing business with Brazil. As they do with several dictatorships around the world”, he published.

The discussion on the topic had started at 5:23 pm that day, after a post by Ivan Wrobel, owner of W3 Engenharia, a construction company specializing in high-end real estate, mainly in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro. When introducing himself to the group, Wrobel said he had been a Bolsonaro voter since the former captain’s second term in the Chamber of Deputies: “I want to see if the STF has the courage to rig the elections after a military parade on the Atlântica Avenue with the troops applauded by the public”, he published. The act on Avenida Atlântica, in Copacabana, was actually scheduled for September 7th, the country’s Independence Day, and there would be a military parade, with the presence of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Mayor Eduardo Paes informed this Wednesday that there will be no acts on land, only presentations by the Navy and Air Force.

The same view of the symbolic aspect of the military parade on Copacabana was shared by the gaucho doctor Marco Aurélio Raymundo, known as Morongo and owner of the Mormaii store chain, one of the main surfwear brands in the country. “September 7 is being timed to unite the people and the Army and at the same time make it clear which side the Army is on. Top strategy and the stage will be Rio. The Brazilian icon city abroad. It will make it very clear,” he wrote.

Morongo is one of the businessmen with the most extreme views in the group and argues that Brazil is at war with Bolsonaro's opponents. When responding to the defense of the coup made by Koury, the owner of the Barra World mall, Morongo wrote three consecutive messages. “The coup was releasing the prisoner [Lula]!!! Coup is the 'supreme' acting outside the constitution! Coup is the old media just talking shit!”

Businessman Afrânio Barreira, owner of the Coco Bambu Group and Bolsonaro’s public voter, also responded to Koury’s message, with a picture of a young man applauding. The restaurant chain, founded in 2001 by Barreira, has annual sales of over R$ 1 billion (~US$ 190 million) and 64 stores are operating in the country. He recently became involved in a public discussion with candidate Ciro Gomes, who had accused him of evading taxes. Barreira denied having committed any illicit act.

Later that night, on the same day as Koury's pro-coup message, businessman André Tissot, from Grupo Sierra, a Rio Grande do Sul company specializing in the sale of luxury furniture, argued that an intervention should have taken place earlier. “The coup should have taken place in the first days of the government. [In] 2019 we would have gained another 10 more years”, he posted.

Previous messages already indicated the degree of radicalism among some of the group's businessmen. On May 17, Morongo, from Mormaii, proposed extreme actions to defend Bolsonaro, citing cases such as the French Revolution and the US Civil War.

“If the side we defend wins, the blood of victims become [sic] blood of heroes! The human species has ALWAYS been very violent. The 'good guys' have always been dominated... It's a utopia to think that things are always resolved 'in a good way'. We all want peace, harmony and hand in hand towards the same goal… buuuuuut [sic] when the minimum of the rules that were imposed on us are kicked to the side, then it takes effect without the mediation of a judge. A shame, but only time will tell if we go back to playing fair game or [if] it's going to be a kick in the sack and finger in the eye,” he wrote.

Morongo, however, showed deliberation after José Koury suggested, on May 31, that business executives could pay bonuses to employees who voted according to their interests. “Someone here in the group came up with a great idea, but we have to see if it's not banned. Give a cash bonus or a nice award to all the employees of our companies”, said Koury. “I think it would be vote buying… complicated”, Morongo replied.

Weeks later, on that July 31, when he said he preferred a coup, Koury said he had ordered “thousands of little flags to be distributed to Barra World Shopping shopkeepers and customers starting in September”.

Mistrust of the electronic voting ballot boxes is another constant in the group. Contractor Meyer Nigri, founder of Tecnisa and one of the most influential businessmen with the federal government, sent a text on the 8th with several attacks on the STF. “Mandatory reading!”, read the message, which he did not write. “The STF will be responsible for a civil war in Brazil.”

Nigri founded Tecnisa in 1977 to operate in an integrated manner in the real estate market, with development, construction and sales activities. Vice-president of the company's board of directors, he is considered one of Bolsonaro's closest businessmen and responsible for bringing the president closer to different characters.

On the same day, August 8, before the text sent by Nigri, businessman José Isaac Peres attacked election polls. He said polls of voting intentions are "rigged" to confirm results from "secret ballot boxes". Peres is the majority shareholder of Multiplan, one of the main mall managers in Brazil. “The TSE is a rib of the Supreme, which has 10 PT ministers. Bolsonaro wins in the votes, but may lose in the ballot boxes. Until now, millions of votes annulled in the last elections run in secrecy of Justice. There was no explanation.”, he wrote.

On July 21, Meyer Nigri passed on to the group a text that advocated parallel counting of votes in elections by an external commission. In another message sent by Nigri, on June 26, it is read that minister Luís Roberto Barroso “interferes” in the elections by “lying” about the printed vote. “All this disservice to democracy by the 3 ministers of the TSE/STF only increases the suspicion of fraud prepared on the occasion of the elections. Datafolha inflates Lula's numbers to support the TSE when the election results are announced.”, the post read.

Isaac Peres, from Multiplan, also distributed offenses to the STF on different occasions. On May 8, he sent a message saying that the STF “is the strongest left-wing political party that opposes the Executive Branch”. And, on May 26, he said that the reaction of the STF to the military operation that left 23 dead in a favela in Rio was “in breach of the Brazilian Constitution”. “How long are we going to watch the abuse of power prevail?”, he asked.

Vitor Odisio, coach, engineer, and CEO of Thavi Construction, who presents himself on the internet as a businessman active in central and south Florida, had said, on June 10, that “Bolsonaro does not take this election at all with this background. of TSE and these ballot boxes”. “You have to intervene first, forget about the TSE, set up an electoral commission (as almost all countries in the world do), vote on paper and go on with the game! Simple as that,” he wrote. "After the election, it's over, it's going to be kicking and screaming..."

Not only of attacks, however, lives the group chat. Here and there, there are also projections for the future of Brazil. Recently, for example, Luciano Hang revealed who he expects to be elected president in the next 12 years. For the owner of Havan, after re-electing Bolsonaro, the country should elect former minister Tarcísio de Freitas to the presidency, in 2026, and re-elect him in 2030. “Then there will be no more room for vagabonds”, he added.

During an event in São José dos Campos (São Paulo state), President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said this was all “fake news”. The messages were not denied by those involved. "Enough with the fake news," the re-election candidate said angrily. He even mistreated members of his team during the rally. At one point, a member approaches and he says: "Nobody lays a hand on me here".

The president then asks who the members of the 'Entrepreneurs and Politics' group are. Upon hearing the name of one of his biggest supporters, he asks: "Luciano Hang talking about coup?"

Bolsonaro also attacked journalist Guilherme Amado, author of the article that denounced the case: "This guy is the end of the world, this guy is a fake news factory".

Senator Randolfe Rodrigues (Network party) wants these executives to be arrested. The congressman called the Federal Supreme Court (STF) this Wednesday (17) for the Federal Police and the Public Ministry to act against the group “Entrepreneurs and Politics”. Among the measures requested are the breach of secrecy, freezing of accounts, and preventive detention.

Week 6

Communities of interest.

Surfwear

Working for a surfwear company would offer a unique and exciting opportunity as it would combine several of my interests, design, surfing and fashion. The industry allows for the fusion of creativity and functionality, as designs must not only be visually appealing but also cater to the specific needs of surfers in terms of comfort and performance. Brands pictured in the image above have been staples of my wardrobe and surfing attire my entire life. Being in an industry where I would see and use would add an extra personal incentive into my work. Jobs in this field are however usually scarce and I would routes into the bigger brands within the industry can be hard to come by. Working in the field is however one of my biggest aspirations

Surf Shop Fashion: Discovering the Hottest Trends in Surfing Apparel

Surfing has always been synonymous with a laid-back, carefree lifestyle. And when it comes to surfing shop fashion, the trends are just as cool and effortless. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or simply love the beachy vibes, discovering the latest in surfing apparel is like catching the perfect wave of style. From vibrant board shorts to stylish rash guards, there's something for everyone looking to ride that fashion-forward wave.

The Current State of Surf Shop Fashion

Surf store fashion has evolved. The surf and beachwear market has grown beyond boardshorts and graphic tees.

Surf shop fashion today caters to a variety of likes and inclinations. There's a style for everyone, from bohemian prints to slick athleisure.

Sustainable surfwear is a trend. Eco-friendly surfing apparel is becoming more fashionable as people grow more environmentally conscious. Surfers respect nature, so brands are employing recycled or organic cotton to make stylish, ecological clothes.

Surf shop fashion emphasizes utility. Performance-driven designs with quick-drying qualities, UPF sun protection, and robust stitching keep surfers comfortable on monster waves. Zip pockets and adjustable waistbands give functionality without sacrificing flair.

Surf shop apparel now emphasizes customization and uniqueness. Many businesses let you customize colors, and patterns, and even add your own artwork or logo to create unique pieces that reflect your taste.

Surfer style requires clothing and accessories. Sunglasses that block the sun's glare and waterproof watches that track wave time are functional and stylish.

These surf shop fashion trends show that this business is always pushing style and innovation. Surf shop attire is perfect for surfing or embracing the laid-back seaside lifestyle. We'll go deeper.

The Hottest Trends in Surfing Apparel

Surfing is more than just catching a wave—it's a chance to express yourself. That's why surfers who want to look good while riding the waves must follow the latest fashion trends.

Eco-friendly surfwear is becoming fashionable. Surf manufacturers are using sustainable materials as more consumers become environmentally conscious. These eco-friendly options, from recycled polyester surf shorts to organic cotton t-shirts, look fantastic and protect our oceans and earth.

Retro-inspired surfwear is another trend. Surf shops worldwide are bringing back retro prints, colors, and logos. Retro vibes offer nostalgia and flair to your surf gear, whether you wear a Hawaiian shirt or a 70s-style wetsuit.

Surfers love performance-driven gear. Serious wave riders need UV-protected, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying textiles. These high-performance items are comfortable and durable for long hours of surfing.

Surfing accessories have also grown. Hats, sunglasses, and waterproof watches are stylish and functional on the lake. Spending hours at sea requires protection from dangerous sun rays and the ability to check the time without water damage.

How to Find the Right Surf Shop for You

Are you a passionate surfer seeking the perfect surf shop? Stop looking! The correct surf store can improve your surfing experience. Find the right surf shop with these tips.

Surf shop location matters. Choose a shop near beaches or surf locations. Thus, you may conveniently access everything before and after surfing.

Check out their surfing gear. A decent surf shop should carry many high-quality brands. Check for wetsuits, board shorts, and surfboards.

Next, check customer service. The courteous and educated staff can advise on gear and surfing attire.

To get a feel for the store, check customer reviews. Positive feedback is often reassuring when choosing where to spend your hard-earned money.

Consider price. Finding a balance between price and quality is crucial.

By following these simple steps, you'll find the best surf shop for your surfing needs! Shop and surf!
