The 30 Best HBO Series of All Time, Ranked
 
The thing about any list ranking is that it's going to shift over time. That's because it takes a lot of finesse to have a lasting impact. If we were to throw any random show with a good season on a list, then you could put just about anything on here. HBO is great at cultivating short term successes, but for it to stick, there's got to be consistency, to some extent. That brings us to the king of prestige: HBO's best of the best. Sometimes, you can't help but recognize a show that redefined television with a little story about a coveted Iron Throne. How can you not tip a hat to the great Larry Sanders Show? And then there are newbies, like Euphoria, that has turned the often-melodramatic teen drama category into cutting edge storytelling about drug use and social pressures. (And before you balk at Euphoria's inclusion, we'll reconsider when the series takes a swing and misses for the first time.) So here's the rundown, best as we can imagine it: the top 30 HBO shows, from Tony Soprano to Carrie Bradshaw. We know there are always some capital-o Opinions when it comes to the offerings from this beloved premium network, so sound off in the comments. And don't even come at us with those Westworld takes because you know that show is off its rocker. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The Hands-Down Best Snowblowers to Save Your Aching Back
 
Waking to a fresh blanket of snow brings back memories of our childhood, with school called for the day and the only thing on your agenda: sledding with friends. But we're not kids anymore, and the realization that we have to dig out the car and head to work quickly clears the nostalgic fog from our minds. If you've finally gotten tired of shoveling, need to replace an aging snowblower, or just want something bigger and better, then we've got snow removal options for you. The snowblowers here run from petite to some of the largest available and include both battery- and gas-powered models. If you expect snow that needs clearing this season, you'll find a snowblower on this list that's ideal for you. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Best Beanies Money Can Buy Right Now
 
It's cold out there. Which means your noggin will be, too. And there still exists no better way to solve this problem than the humble beanie. Not only is it functionally the right fit, but the beanie's power extends well beyond the dead of winter. We're not talking about that guy in L.A. you know who wears it in...well, you know how warm it is there. We're talking about an accessory that can be justified in (almost) any setting—including but not limited to those early morning Zooms that take place before you've had a chance to shower. Here, we've compiled the best beanies out there right now, including tried and true classics and those tested in the worst of elements—all sharp enough to wear beyond their intended purpose.

Todd Snyder and Timex's Greatest Hits Are (Still) Up to 70% Off Right Now
 
Here's some good news that has lasted, courtesy of Todd Snyder and his ongoing collaboration with Timex. Right now, Snyder is hosting one hell of a winter sale, and alongside all the fantastic outerwear and equally exceptional shirt options, there's a small stash of watches well worth your attention. Three of them—the Mod, the Maritime Sport, and the Welton—are verified greatest hits from the duo of brands, showing up in a handful of different iterations over the years. A couple more—Todd and Timex's Pride watch from 2020, and the Q Timex Falcon Eye—are one-offs, at least for now. But all of them would look pretty damn good on your wrist, especially with an additional 40 percent off the already discounted price when you use code SALE40 at checkout.

Trump's Lackeys Are Scrambling for the Parachutes
 
In case you haven't noticed, the scramble for parachutes has begun in earnest. People who still want careers in politics, or who had established reputations before signing on to Camp Runamuck over the past four years, and who are now trying to stitch together the tattered remains of those reputations, have started talking to reporters about what a nuthouse the previous administration* was, especially once the duck was lamed. For example, The New York Times' epic "77 Days" project, released over the weekend, fairly obviously was sourced in part to people who are trying to rehabilitate William Barr, if not to Barr himself. Here's Charles P. Pierce on the latest revelations from the previous administration*'s final days. Read More
