I got that image from the front page as it looks right now. It's sandwiched between "Tesla Sales Are Slumping, Even in the Most E.V.-Friendly Place" and "After a Slow Start, High-Speed Rail Might Finally Arrive in America."Those 3 things in a row... oh, New York Times... must you?

I'll wear white to work in the garden when the dirt is white.
Was there a fraught article about how Duchess has to pick her own crops because Tren de Araqua was sent to El Salvador?
Well, at least they got a good picture in that place away from the cameras.
She’s rebranding but the Times refers to her still as Duchess of Sussex. Isn’t that dead-titling her?
Yes. Yes, they must.
I don't know which is faker that picture of Meghan gardening or the emotions Corey Booker affected when he was giving his record-breaking speech.
C’mon Meghan, wear some dirt!
"She’s rebranding but the Times refers to her still as Duchess of Sussex.... "
I read somewhere that she has tried mangling the royal title conventions by demanding that she be known as 'Meghan Sussex', much to the puzzlement of everybody else. I'm suggesting a rap-friendly modernization of the ancient name from 'Sussex' to 'Sux'
"She’s rebranding but the Times refers to her still as Duchess of Sussex. Isn’t that dead-titling her?"
On the show, Meghan famously rebukes Mindy Kaling for referring to her as Meghan Markle. She's all "I'm Sussex now."

Is the maiden name for every woman who doesn't keep it to be considered a "deadname"?!
The rehabilitate Gavin is in full swing.
The left seek to harm - and are proud of it.
The left hate government accountability.
Reminds me of the 70s margarine ad. It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!

High-speed rail.
Eyeroll.
I did my archaeological field school (on San Juan Island, WA) with a bubbly blonde sorority girl who wore white into the excavation trench. Amazingly, she was one of the best excavators and still managed to come out at the end of the day nearly spotless.
At least wear long sleeves and a hat. (And gloves.) Sheesh.
It's funny that she would've looked more photogenic if she'd gone with real gardening gear.
[Sigh] There has been high-speed rail running from New York City to Washington, DC, and back since 1935 (90 years!). Outside of the Boston to DC corridor there not enough large cities close enough together to make high speed rail commercially viable. The United States is not Europe. This concept seems difficult for Democrats to grasp.
At about the same time as the Pennsylvania Railroad was electrifying its New York to Washington route to support high speed passenger service the Milwaukee Road was providing "high speed" (for the time) service from Chicago to the Twin Cities using steam locomotives and passenger cars constructed in their own shops. Their "Hiawatha" trains did the 410 mile route in 6 1/2 hours (average speed 63 mph). Today Amtrak does this route with an average speed of 57 mph.
In October my friends and I took the Eurostar from Brussels to Paris on a Saturday morning. It was a nice trip, but as Big Mike points out there are few places in the USA where high speed trains make economic sense.
And I have my doubts that Europe's systems could survive without massive subsidies.
I know whenever I'm going out for a stimulating day of working the garden, I always put on my makeup first, before I dress up in my whites. Nothing says 'get your hands dirty' like makeup and whites.
High speed rail still a thing Democrats pine for? In CA it's billions of dollars over planned budget (that's Billions) and still has yet to carry one person. It was initially funded ($9.95 billion) in 2008, but took until 2015 to even break ground. As of today- April of 2025, they've managed to make 0 miles of track. The first 171 mile phase has 22 miles of completed structure awaiting tracks. But it is in the middle of nowhere. As of today it has been actively under construction for over 10 years and has completed 0 miles of usable transportation at a cost of $15 Billion plus.
Let's hear it for government projects.
Their Graces are still the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and treated with obsequious bowing and forelock-tugging in the UK, but he is no longer a "working" royal duke. That means he can no longer draw a lavish stipend from the public treasury for cutting ribbons at new supermarkets and giving trophies to the winners of the annual lawn bowling contest in Nether Piddlington.
Duke and Dutchess of Sussex are job titles, not names. Her husband's surname is Windsor. Although she could go by her husband's family's original surname and be known as Megan Saxony Coburg and Gotha.
I always wear white tie and tails when I garden.
Eh, if it's dry, white or light coloured linen isn't terrible in the garden. Perhaps because the fabric fibers are so slick, dust and dry dirt brush off pretty easily. That said, if that's cotton lawn or some other cotton fabric (summer dresses are usually cotton lawn, right?), I think it would get dirty quite quickly. My experience is cotton tends to pick up dirt a lot more easily than linen.
I dunno how to tell you this, but Ms. Marckle is worth zillions, and has a maid to do her laundry. I doubt she thinks twice about "will this get dirty?"
Makes Martha Stewart look like a sodbuster.
- Baby diaper ads show white and blue but never pee or poo.
- Sanitary napkin ads show blue fluids but never red or yellow.
Only a woke half-black angel can work in mud and bugs but stay as white as a fresh tampon. She'a an angel!
Princesses don't get dirty. But it doesn't matter because they never wear anything twice.
She's just trying to create her authentic self.
"Those 3 things in a row... oh, New York Times... must you?' "
Now THAT'S funny. And yes, they must. They would stop if they could but they don't so...they can't.
Vita Sackville-West sees the outfit and nods in approval from her grave.
