Get Noah's Just-Bold-Enough Hoodie Now, Before It Sells Out (Again)
 
Esquire Style Director Jonathan Evans is, if you care to be generous in your naming of it, a "hoodie enthusiast." If you care to be ungenerous, you could say that he clearly has a problem, and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong. So please, let his unhealthy fascination with this ostensibly simple but mystifyingly enticing item of clothing guide you on your quest to a great hoodie, sans the stumbling block of ostracizing the people who care about your wellbeing. Just get yourself Noah's tricolor hoodie—which is all but gone from Noah's digital shelves, but now available again, at least for the time being, thanks to the brand's latest drop with Nordstrom—and settle into its warm embrace while simultaneously basking in the love of kith and kin. They really do just want the best for you. Here's why it's our latest Esquire Endorsement. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The President Is Now Lauding QAnon Believers as Future Republican Stars
 
It's hard these days not to feel like the Internet was a mistake. At the very least, we need to force massive social media companies to retool their platforms to stem the tide of misinformation. (Or, you know, just break up these monopolies.) As it stands, we have more at our fingertips than ever before and it's killing us. The traditional gatekeepers have fallen away, and the firms who've monopolized their way into the job—like Facebook and Google—have refused to take up the mantle. They want the ad revenue, but not the responsibility. Which is why Facebook has done nothing up until recently to monitor the spread of dangerous and deranged conspiracies on the platform, and part of why we will soon have the first QAnon member of Congress. Marjorie Taylor Greene triumphed in the Republican primary for Georgia's 14th Congressional District, one of the reddest in the country, meaning she's odds-on to win the general election in November, too. So it's not a huge surprise that Donald Trump would voice his support for someone with these particular views. Politics Editor Jack Holmes explains while this isn't a shock, it's still very concerning. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Howie Mandel Is Afraid of Not Being Afraid
 
How has 2020 been for the man who turns on faucets with his foot, who wore a mask in the house when his children were little, who even lived in a separate house from his wife and children sometimes because of the germs? Not so different, as it turns out. In a profile from Ryan D'Agostino, Howie Mandel looks back upon the staying power of his career, and the fears that continue to drive him to this day. "There is nothing I'm not afraid of," he told D'Agostino. "How I'm being perceived, how I look, what's going to happen tomorrow, how yesterday went. Fear is my fuel, and also my poison. I like fear. I'm a product of fear." Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
There's Never Been a Better Time to Buy a USPS Tee
 
Since the late 1700s, the United States Postal Service has delivered mail—through rain, snow, sleet, or shine—to Americans across the country, wherever they may be. These days, though, the storied institution you love to hate is in a state of crisis. Its leadership is, to put it extremely mildly, in a state of disarray. It faces increasingly fierce competition from relative upstarts like FedEx. (Fuck you, FedEx!) And now the president of the whole damn country is casting aspersions on the veracity of mail-in voting in a shameless attempt to suppress voter turnout this upcoming election. The USPS needs your help. But don't do it for us. Don't even do it for them. Do it for yourself. Because, like any respectable government institution worth its weight in Forever Stamps, the USPS happens to stock some of the sweetest officially licensed merchandise around, including a selection of tees that telegraph your support via endearingly on-the-nose messaging.

The 6 Best Electric Grinders to Evenly Cut and Dispense Your Weed
 
Manual weed grinders are a dime a dozen. Some of them are pretty crappy, some of them are nearly perfect, and all of them require you to physically move your wrists and hands in a twisting fashion to activate the blades. Human error worms its way into the process. And for some, that dexterity just isn't possible. The electric weed grinder category is more niche, and it isn't exactly abounding with options (unless you want to sacrifice your coffee grinder or actual herb grinder to the cause, and get it sticky with resin in the process). But it leaves less room for mishap and can be easier to use. Besides, the weed itself will grind more uniformly. Here, you'll find six grinders that are all great, but that are also all tailored to a slightly different need. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Mitch McConnell Has Been Exposed as an Empty Suit
 
The long view of history is going to conclude that the political genius of Mitch McConnell was strictly limited to his ability to muster a majority to employ every chokepoint in an 18th-century Constitution to make sure that a Black man who was elected to be president was not able to act fully as president. But now, as the Majority Leader of the Senate at a time of multiple national crises, McConnell has been exposed as the emptiest suit since Claude Rains's pants ran down the street without him. As Charles P. Pierce explains, McConnell has been both unwilling and unable to wrangle his majority behind even the shabbiest facsimile of an economic relief package, and every day he fails to do so attaches him more firmly to a corrupt and impotent presidency*. Judges aren't going to count for everything ever. And now the Washington Post reports that even the powerful folks back in Kentucky have searched for their last nerve and found Mitch McConnell there, jumping on it. Read More
