Trump Told Us He Doesn't Consider 'Fake News to be Free Press.' Uh-Oh.
 
For decades, The New York Times journalists were imbued with a sense of the Times's way of doing things. This view of impartiality suffered with the entry of Donald Trump into presidential politics, and the eventual decision to describe his inaccurate statements as "lies." It was a significant first step toward becoming openly oppositional. Where the Times led, others followed. It's almost as if the effort to undo Trump has had an unexpected effect—that Trump has somehow broken the news media. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Why the Black Turtleneck Was So Important to Elizabeth Holmes's Image
 
Elizabeth Holmes was meticulous about her image. As she promoted the seemingly revolutionary technology behind the finger-prick blood testing of her company Theranos, she had a specific uniform: sleek black turtlenecks, black blazers, and black trousers. It portrayed an effortlessness, a seriousness, and just the right amount of techie quirkiness. But, like her company, Holmes's narrative about her sartorial statement isn't exactly what it seems.

James Bond Is a Straight White Man Now, But Should He Be in the Future?
 
The next James Bond movie, slated to come out in 2020, is expected to be Daniel Craig's last as 007. That has anyone even vaguely interested in Bond speculating about who should replace him, and a number of people have suggested the character should be played by an actor of color or a woman.

Devin Nunes Is Suing His Imaginary Mom, His Imaginary Cow, and Twitter
 
All those people who want tort reform can pound sand. Give us tort reform and we might never get the monumental self-own that Congressman—and White House lawn ornament—Devin Nunes brought to the Henrico County Circuit Court late Monday afternoon. In merciful brief, Nunes is suing Twitter (and several Twitterers) for $250 million because he thinks the platform conspired to shut out conservative voices while allowing other accounts to be very mean to him, Devin Nunes.

This J.Crew x Barbour Jacket Looks Great Now. It'll Look Even Better in 20 Years.
 
J. Crew and Barbour have a lot in common, but perhaps the biggest thing is that both brands know how to make clothes that last. These brands are heritage players for a reason. And when they come together—like they did this week for the J.Crew x Barbour barn jacket—all the better. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Margot Robbie Looks Remarkably Like Sharon Tate in Her Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Poster
 
We're just months away from the film's July release date, and pretty much all involved have kept relatively mum about Quentin Tarantino's star-studded ninth picture, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But yesterday, the film dropped its first poster, featuring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, and followed up today by offering a glimpse at Margot Robbie, who stars as the late Sharon Tate.
