This summer, it makes for the perfect post-pool shirt. Throw it on in the aforementioned manner, maybe button one button if you have to go into a store, and know that it looks just as good with swim trunks as it does with chinos. Come fall, it's the perfect layering piece to pair with all your cashmere and cable-knit sweaters. Ditto for the winter months. And if you—gasp—find yourself suiting up again, it'll work underneath that lost garment, too. You simply cannot fail with this shirt. That is, unless, you fail to purchase it.

In the film, Gaga will portray Patrizia Reggiani, who was tried and convicted of planning the murder of her ex-husband and former head of Gucci, Maurizio Gucci, who will be played by Driver. Enough about the plot, though. We'll deal with that when the movie comes out. The sweater is what's happening right now. And just like that other sweater we'll no longer think about from this day forward, you can easily obtain one just like it on the world wide web. And because it's such a universally loved style, it's way too easy to find one in your price range and style. (At the moment, we've not confirmed Gucci itself sells this exact sweater, but see below for an adjacent vibe.)

That includes 59 percent of Republicans. And yet Senate Republicans unanimously opposed it. Some House Republicans, led by the extremely normal Marjorie Taylor Greene, tried to adjourn the lower chamber at 9:24 a.m. Wednesday to avoid a vote on it. A sweeping majority of her Republican colleagues—people collecting a salary from taxpayers—joined her in trying to take the day off. At first glance, this seems like incredibly self-destructive behavior for members of a political party that seek to get more votes than their opponents in future elections. But that takeaway rests on a flawed assumption: that Republicans are interested in getting a majority of eligible voters' support. They are not, really. Rather than adopt a policy platform that might appeal to the majority, they are more interested in trying to limit who can vote in the hope they can reshape the electorate into something they can win. Republican state legislatures are on the warpath right now, waging an all-out assault on voting rights in Iowa, Georgia, Arizona, Montana, Missouri, Florida, Texas, and beyond. But in the age of Trump, this has been ratcheted up to 16, as the ex-president's Big Lie about the 2020 election has been seamlessly adapted to justify what Democratic lawyer Marc Elias is calling an "avalanche of voter suppression" unseen "since Jim Crow." Republicans now believe themselves so dependent on voter suppression in order to compete in elections that you get this kind of thing from Senator Mike Lee of Utah.

Answer: the digital artist Beeple's NFT piece, "CROSSROAD," which recently sold for $6.6 million, making history as the most expensive digital art sale ever made. If this information leaves your brain in total shambles, you're not alone. The burgeoning market for NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, is turning the art, music, and finance worlds upside down. This week, Grimes sold almost $6 million of her digital art—renderings of tattooed, spear-wielding cherubs floating in purple-hued post-apocalyptic ruins—as NFTs on Nifty Gateway, the "premier marketplace" for NFTs. Today, Kings of Leon became the first band to offer an album as both a streamable collection of songs and an NFT. Christie's is currently auctioning their first digital-only work of art, a mosaic of 5,000 pieces called "EVERYDAYS" by Beeple (Mike Winkelmann). At time of writing, the current bid for the piece stands at $3.5 million. In the sports world, game highlights can be bought and sold as NFTs, though anyone can watch these for free. Got a spare $213,000? You can buy an NFT of this specific LeBron dunk (from a game they lost, no less). NFTs have rapidly become the next big thing in cryptocurrency's crossover out of elusive anonymous e-wallet dealings and into the more public cultural web sphere. If you've seen any of this news and wondered, okay so what even is an NFT?, here is a brief guide to the emerging form of digital collectibles.

We still need to name the what—loved ones, but also jobs, relationships, big breaks, last chances—and the what is vast. For Esquire's March issue, Jeff Sharlet set out to tell the stories of nine Americans who've experienced loss. "Loss," Sharlet writes, "is an absence, but it is never nothing."
