Josh Hawley Is Going All-In on Polite Sedition
 
Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, is apparently planning to object during the January 6 Electoral College certification. The whole purpose of this preposterous puppet show is to make Joe Biden's presidency as miserable as possible right from jump. And, truth be told, if Hawley didn't do this, rookie meathead Tommy Tuberville of Alabama likely would have stepped up. But, over the past several months, Hawley has jumped ahead of Senator Tom Cotton, the bobble-throated slapstick from Arkansas, as the politician who worries me the most as regards post-Trump conservatism. Cotton has proven to be more maladroit at politicking than I thought he would be, and he has all the obvious humanity of a jackhammer. Hawley is more identifiably human, and he's been much more clever on policy, flirting with economic populism while demanding an anti-choice litmus test on federal judges. Now, he's checking off an important box on the 2024 Pander Card. Here's Chales P. Pierce on how if you want a vivid illustration of the differences between how Democrats and Republicans do politics at this time in history, that's as good as any. Read More

The Best Sneakers of 2020
 
This past year presented more reasons than ever to stay enthused about the state of sneakers today. Vintage-inspired re-releases dripping in retro charm? Check. Newfangled riffs on tried-and-true classics? Hell yes. Forward-looking silhouettes that offered a brief glimpse into the not-so-distant future? You came to the right place. And if all that ain't reason enough to welcome 2021 with outstretched arms and open wallets, I'm not sure what is. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Everlane's End-of-Year Sale Is Not to Be Missed
 
Everlane has entered the fray—and when that happens, it's worth paying attention. Right now, the savvy DTC retailer is taking up to 50 percent off a wide-ranging selection of its perfectly pared-down essentials, and there are more than a few gems to be had. These are hardly the picked-over scraps. No, sir. Everlane is helping you bid adieu to 2020 in style. Like the elderly relative who plies you with food whenever and wherever you see them, the brand is pulling everything it has out of the fridge, and it doesn't care if you ate already. Its end-of-season sale represents one final push before the curtains close on what was, to put it mildly, an absolutely miserable year. And what better way to cap it off than by scooping an actual, ah, cap (perhaps made out of alpaca, and in a lovely shade of sky blue)? There's a reason we've spotlighted a whole bunch of these pieces time and time again, and it's because they looked as good then as they do now—especially with the added incentive of a very healthy discount.

Bridgerton's RegΓ©-Jean Page Is the Leading Man For the Next Decade
 
Bridgerton, the series everyone you know is watching on Netflix right now, debuts amid an ongoing crisis of masculinity, making RegΓ©-Jean Page's subversion of the institution's strictures all the more powerful. Much of his character, Simon Bassett's, psychological turmoil is rooted in his tormented relationship to his deplorable father, which culminates in a vengeful vow that provides much of the plot's scaffolding. For Page, the prospect of unraveling Simon's knotted psyche to craft a more modern leading man was integral to the role's appeal. Here, Page spoke to Esquire's Adrienne Westenfeld about charting a more representative future in period dramas—and the art of a good dance scene. Read More
