Iso post about a costume designer who found her dress for sale
I'm looking for a post about a woman who designed historical costumes. She designed and made a beautiful dress to her own measures and blogged about it. Then she found the dress for sale WITH A PICTURE OF HER WEARING THE DRESS. She ordered the dress and they sent her a piece of crap. I believe there youtube videos.
Metatalktail Hour: the clouds and the stars to read
Happy weekend, friends. This week I'm dreaming and remembering about ... sleeping. Dreaming of this berth and this pull down blind, rocking away in a sleeping car, or in a cabin on the sea, rolled by the swell of waves and the water's lullaby. So for today's metatalktails, we have this bottle of German wine to drink and I have to ask you: Better sleeping on a train, or sleeping on a ship / boat? [more inside]

Dance like no one is watching... it's NCAA Tournament Time
As we do around these parts, it's time to make some brackets based on dubious distinctions and talk about a little basketball. [more inside]

Metatalktail Hour: Fine Print
Happy weekend everyone, I hope you are well! For this metalktail hour topic, I'd like to ask what you are reading, or what you last read, or what you are looking forward to reading ... and also, actually, um, are you reading? Or has the combination of the always-on instant news cycle, ballooning world crises, and overbearing social media interrupted, slowed, or stymied your flow? Or intensified it? [more inside]

Will Musk's defense of Scott Adams make you leave?
As surely most MeFites know by now, Dilbert guy Scott Adams self-immolated via racist screed, and Elon Musk leapt to his defense tweeting, among other things, that "the media is racist against whites." My question for the Twitter users among us: has this made you leave Twitter, or at least consider doing so for good? [more inside]

Metatalktail Hour: 🍪
Hello, everyone, and happy weekend! Today I'm going to need you to tell me about the cookies. Not the tracking ones, the girl scouts / girl guides ones. It's that season, and in the US, a new flavor will be released this week. It's called Raspberry Rally, it will only be available online (why?), and apparently it was inspired by Thin Mints. I'm so curious! Early tasters must report back! [more inside]

MetaFilter, SCOTUS, and Section 230
So, there are a couple of big cases coming up before the Supreme Court in the next week or so that might lead to the overturning of Section 230 of whatever law it's part of, I think the 1996 Digital Millennium Copyright Act. I'm wondering if the powers that be at MetaFilter have been looking at this and what the implications might be for our little community if this does end up getting overturned. Members of the community might have further insights.
