  Tanya Gersh Was the Target of a Neo-Nazi 'Troll Storm.' Then She Fought Back—and Was Awarded $14 Million. Tanya Gersh twisted the doorknob of her front door and realized it was locked. Her family always kept their front door open, because they never considered doing otherwise in their sleepy town of Whitefish, Montana.
Standing on the doorstep in the dark, Gersh realized she didn't even have a key to her own house. So, she knocked on the door. She heard her husband come down their stairs and watched him crack open the door. The lights in the house were all off and the blinds were drawn. She remembers empty suitcases laying behind him.
"Tanya, I have to talk to you about something," he said, leading her up to their dark bedroom. Her laptop sat open, glowing on the bed.
"Jews Targeting Richard Spencer's Mother for Harassment and Extortion—Take Action," read the December 16, 2016, headline at the top of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer. Gersh scrolled down to find a photo from her Facebook page—a smiling image of herself which had been superimposed in front of a fire with a Star of David on her chest, as well as a photo of her then-12-year-old son. She kept scrolling to see the words in bold, "So Then—Let's Hit 'Em Up. Are y'all ready for an old fashioned Troll Storm? Because AYO—it's that time, fam."
Her cell phone began ringing. After midnight, the calls came more frequently. The ringing continued for months.   Brooklinen's Labor Day Sale Will Hook You Up with New Sheets, Duvets, and More If you want to lock in a good night's sleep, you should definitely invest in some quality sheets. The average person spends about one-third of their life in bed, which means 33 percent of your life can be spent tossing and turning amongst itchy blankets and pillow cases—or enveloped in comfortable ones designed with only the sweetest of dreams in mind. That's where Brooklinen comes in.
 The Ultra-Versatile Sneakers That Are Even Better Than They Look If you're a minimalist type, finding a pair of sneakers has never been easier. From all-leather low-tops to canvas-covered high-tops and everything in between, the level to which brands are producing no-frills kicks is at an all time high—and that's great! But it also presents a bittersweet dilemma: How the hell can you choose one?  The Esquire Guide to Smelling Good As Tom Ford once said, "Good manners and good cologne is what transforms the man into a gentleman." With all due respect to the most tasteful man in the world, that's only half the story. Cologne is one tool for smelling good, but being well-fragranced in all departments takes a bigger toolbox. To scent your life, you need to look at your home, laundry, medicine cabinet, even your car. Here's how to get it done easily, even if you're not a cologne guy.
 The Best Documentaries on Netflix to Stream Right Now It's a golden age for documentaries—new films have broken news and pushed stories forward. And it's easier than ever to dig into Netflix to find classic and award-winning docs. But sometimes the options can be overwhelming. From Oscar-winning-and-nominated works of journalism, to rock docs and pop-culture biographies, to emotional and thrilling examinations of society, Netflix's collection of documentaries are all-encompassing. If you're in the mood for a true story—one that is seemingly too intense, too outlandish, too exciting to be true—you've come to the right place. Here are the best documentaries to stream on Netflix right now.  I've Been Deeply Terrified of The Dark Crystal For 23 Years When I was a kid, my parents had very strange rules about what I could and couldn't watch on television. I was allowed to watch most R-rated films, but not Will & Grace—the world of parental supervision was a Wild West situation in my house. That strange criteria is how I was able to sneak by and watch Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal, a 1982 live action puppet film that will haunt the very essence of your being. Some parents feel the need to protect their children from the mature nature of violence or sexual content, but heed these words: The real threat is puppets.
