This past weekend, the president's lackeys spent Sunday on the television defending his racist tweets. In fairness, they were different tweets each time: a week ago, it was Donald Trump's call for four congresswomen of color to go back to the countries they came from. This time, it was an attack on Congressman Elijah Cummings, who represents parts of Baltimore, a majority-black city the President of the United States called a " disgusting, rat- and rodent-infested mess" where " no human being would want to live." The implication, of course, is that it's a place for vermin, not for people, which has the obvious effect of dehumanizing the people who very much do live there. It's racism.

The movie, set in 1969, is full of great outfits that run the gamut from denim-and-leather getups to some particularly sharp tailored offerings. It was a transitional moment for menswear, with the conservatism of the earlier years of the decade giving way to the more out-there fashion we all tend to think of when we think of '60s style. In other words: there was a whole lot going on, both in real life and in Tarantino's movie.

Elijah Cummings a "brutal bully" and his Baltimore district a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess" where "no human being would want to live." But Baltimoreans rose to Charm City's defense, from The Baltimore Sun's incredible op-ed to remarks from Mayor Jack Young.

Quentin Tarantino took a lot of liberties with the story of the so-called Manson Family, some of whom ultimately carried out the murders of actress Sharon Tate and four others the night of August 8, 1969. But many of the characters in the movie are based on real people. Read More           The Theragun G3Pro Will Obliterate Your Muscle Knots and Lower Back Pain   Getting old sucks. Working out sucks. Working out while you're getting old sucks. And yet! And yet, it's so good for you that we (try to) do it anyway. But tight muscles, rows of knots, and overall discomfort all the time don't exactly make for a relaxing life. Aging, working out, and simply living—bad posture, uncomfortable sleep positions, desk work—all perpetuate the problem.
