The suit has been on the wane for a while, but is it due a comeback post-pandemic?
The celebrated American writer Gay Talese lives in a handsome brownstone on New York’s Upper East Side. Each morning, Talese, a fastidious dresser, climbs the stairs to his dressing room on the top floor of the house where he dresses for work: a three-piece suit, handmade in Paris by his Italian cousins (Talese comes from a family of tailors); a crisp, striped shirt with a contrasting white collar, handmade by Addison On Madison; a silk tie; pocket handkerchief, correspondent shoes.
Thus attired, he will make the journey down four flights of stairs, out of the front door, down the steps to the pavement, and down a further flight of steps… to his basement office, where he will spend the day writing. At weekends, Talese might kick back and relax, forsaking the suit for a sports jacket and slacks - always, of course, with a shirt and tie.
Who am I, just a humble internet idiot, to decide what are the 10 funniest things that I’ve seen on the internet? How can one possibly make that determination? I am professionally a journalist, well known to be among the most humourless and insufferable of all trades, which makes preparing this an even bigger ask.
Nevertheless, I have slaved over this list and come up with something that I think captures the full majesty of the internet’s wonders and horrors.
Bon voyage!

it s a heartbreak to know that he s gone at 75. talk to me a little bit about, you know, the barriers he broke, the doors he opened. do you think had it not been for soul train, had it not been for don cornelius, stevie wonder, do you think you would be where you are today? well, obviously, he was a major contribute toor to allowi that to happen. i think definitely the visual presence of a lot of the different artists he made happen because the doors to get in like that were kind of crazy. but it opened up such a whole other kind of era of music and dance. he found the latest dances on soul train. again, like i said before, my understanding is that the dancers were incredibly great, and at some point a lot of oertel visiothe other television shows began to emulate what he was doing. so that s a good thing. when americans saw soul train and saw a new don cornelius. we knew him for his baritone, his style, the dancing kind of setting the trend. but who was the perso
