Here Are 18 We Love.   Wrapping yourself in the warm embrace of a shawl collar cardigan is like spending a meaningful weekend with your grandpa, sans any of the meandering (and often embellished) anecdotes about Vietnam. Try wearing a hefty cable knit version with the pleated cords you bought recently and some thick-soled loafers. Or layer a ribbed take over a fine gauge turtleneck for a look that leans into the style's retro charm. Still not convinced? Call up your grandpa and ask him yourself. If the man has taste that good in knitwear he's bound to be a fount of information on all sorts of things, harrowing asides about his time in the war and all.

While the inauguration was underway, this historic room (and the rest of the White House) was treated to a makeover, with many furnishings being removed and replaced to suit the president's vision for his new backdrop. After all, if there's one thing many of us have learned from spending more time at home during the pandemic, it's the importance of truly making a room your own. Here's your first look at what he changed after what we hope was a deep, deep clean of...everything. Read More           Joe Biden's Celebrating America Concert May Have Been Empty Uplift—But Damn Does It Beat Nihilism   It must be said that four years ago, the highlights of the inaugural concert were Jon Voight, four YouTube trick-piano dads, and some janky fireworks that spelled out "USR." The speeches that evening spoke to fear and division. "God bless America, the greatest country in the history of the world," the whole night said, "and don't forget we'll be Venezuela in ten seconds if we let poor people have health insurance." Four years ago, the shit was grim. Last night, at Joe Biden's inauguration celebration, it was Bruce Springsteen in a peacoat, and while there are very few moral absolutes in this world, surely one of them is "Be on Bruce's team." Last night it was Foo Fighters, wringing another gallon of emotion out of "Times Like These" and solidifying my opinion that Pat Smear should hold high office. Last night it was Daphne Rubin-Vega and Beth Malone and Betty Goddamn Buckley singing "Seasons of Love," with an ASL interpreter joyfully keeping along. Is it empty uplift to see Justin Timberlake and Ant Clemons debuting a kicky new tune in the Stax studios? Is it pandering to bring out Brayden Harrington, the teen from last summer's DNC who bonded with Biden over their stutters, and make him read a JFK speech? Maybe, writes Esquire's Dave Holmes. But here's the thing: if you find that uplift to be empty, you can fill it. You can fuel it right up with your own energy and drive, and you can take it somewhere. As we have learned together since that ghastly escalator descent in 2015, we miss that empty uplift when it's gone. We can't do anything with nihilism. It's nothing, and you put nothing in it, and therefore it stays nothing, if you are lucky, which we weren't. We got empty grievance four years ago, and we ended up with a live-streamed siege for reasons nobody's even bothering to try to defend anymore.
