From Jordan, Adidas, Nike, and more. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       This Week's Biggest Sneaker Releases, and Where to Get Them   We love looking for a through line in each weekly batch of sneaker releases, in part because it makes it easier to make sense of them, and in part because it's just fun. But this week's kicks don't break down that easily. There are retro Jordans and techy Reebok runners and an updated riff on the New Balance 991—not to mention some tie-dye Adidas Ultra Boosts—and all of them feel distinct from one another. That's not a bad thing! In fact, it speaks to the quality of each individual sneaker in our lineup. So, what are you waiting for? Go check 'em out.

We ought to be thankful there were no Stone Cold Stunners involved. Granted, it is probably annoying as hell to have some guy following you around your place of work asking you the same question over and over. Also granted, you signed up to be an elected official, meaning a core component of your chosen profession—at least in theory—is to be constantly held accountable by the public, the press, and your peers. Of course, a big problem in our politics of the moment is that the president's Republican allies refuse to exercise their constitutional powers to hold him accountable for abusing his authority and violating his oath of office.

Absent the kind of national landslide that killed off the Whigs and Federalists, or a sudden discovery within the Republicans of a vestigial collective conscience, no Democrat's healthcare plan will get through to the president's desk out of a Senate led by Mitch McConnell. Therefore, any debate on the topic within the Democratic primary process is largely aspirational. (After all, only Joe Biden has publicly endorsed the actual existence of that mythical beast: The Republican Who Can Be Reasoned With.)

The series has a reported cost of $15 million per episode (the same price tag allegedly pegged to each installment of Game of Thrones' final season), much of which is headed towards the $2 million per episode paychecks of its A-list stars, Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. The show, which follows the shakeup at a fictional morning news program after an anchor (Steve Carrell) is fired for sexual misconduct, offers a ripped-from-the-headlines take on Matt Lauer's downfall. But the Today host's alleged misdeeds form only part of the inspiration for the series: It's also loosely based on Brian Stelter's 2013 book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.

But no matter what you call it—and I'm going to call it a shirt jacket, because I like that name best—the heavyweight layer that's beefier than your standard button-down but still looks very shirt-like is one that you should embrace when the weather takes a turn for the brisk. Read More           How to Make a Black Russian   You've heard of the White Russian. Heavy with Kahlúa, guzzled by Dudes, decadently sweet. The Black Russian is basically that, but less frivolous. And you can probably guess from name alone what the difference is. A White Russian is swirled with heavy cream, while a Black Russian...isn't. It is simply coffee liqueur and vodka, no white in sight, making it less like a dessert and more like an alcoholic wake-me-up. Traditionally, the Black Russian calls for Kahlúa as well, but get crazy and go for one of the craft coffee liqueurs (all with decidedly more stylish bottles) that have begun to pop up in liquor stores over the past couple of years.
