They Just...Filmed Themselves Doing It

We should be wary of political prosecutions, but this isn't exactly COINTELPRO. If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       They Just...Filmed Themselves Doing It   We've been wondering this ever since the tear gas and bear spray cleared on January 6: What did these clowns expect was going to happen with all the evidence they were creating on their telephones before, during, and after allegedly committing crimes? Did any of the putative leaders think to tell them to stop creating videos of themselves? The investigators seem to be drowning in proof at this point and, because of that, people are getting busted all over the map. These two guys were from Pennsylvania and West Virginia. And it looks like the Feds may be trying to pin the organized part of the alleged crimes of that day on the Oath Keepers. The dragnet is extensive. Here's Charles P. Pierce on the latest.

The constant back-and-forth of slipping and readjusting. The fogging of glasses. The uncomfortable tugging at the ears. It's frustrating—and unnecessary. Just ditch the Bad Masks and stock up on some good ones. We've got a whole list of options for you there, but if you don't feel like scrolling through it, just click on over to Uniqlo and get some of their newly—and colorfully!—redesigned AIRism masks. An update on an already-popular style, these new masks use a triple-layer construction with a built-in non-woven filter and a swath of that all-important AIRism fabric—soft, silky, and breathable as it is—that sits against the skin.

Throw on some brand spanking new kicks, and then call it a day. And when I say "kicks," I'm not talking about your standard brown boots or even those pristine white sneakers you scooped a while back (though, sure, those are pretty sweet, too). I'm talking sneakers. Colorful sneakers! The boldest, brashest sneakers money can buy—the type of shoes that stop bystanders in their tracks and give drivers on the other side of the crosswalk serious whiplash. Curious, but still not entirely sure how to build an actual outfit around the most colorful shoes in your closet? Here's a solid rule of thumb: The more colorful the shoe, the more reserved the overall look. Basically, if you're really trying to freak it, you're going to want to make sure everything else involved is fairly pared down—the rest of your outfit included. Life may be too short to live entirely in black and white, but let's not get carried away here, okay? Start with any of these first.

Snow nor dew nor torrential downpour should make its wires futz out. It has to be powerful, too, to fill the open air with the sound of a carefully curated summer playlist (alt hits from the '90s mingled with country bangers from the '00s mixed with a few uptempo viral top 40 numbers). And it must do that playlist justice with audio quality that doesn't sound muddied no matter how loud it's playing or how far it's projecting. But the design of an outdoor speaker is up to you, the person whose money will fund the speaker and whose playlists will populate the airwaves. And you have some options.

Foreign governments and multinational corporations with business before his government spent lavish sums of money at the then-president's hotels, perhaps hoping for favorable policy decisions down the road. His responses to natural disasters varied depending on whether the states they struck had been colored red or blue on his magic 2016 election map—and that included whether he would distribute resources allocated by Congress via its power of the purse. Withholding government services to those in need for personal political reasons constitutes a grave breach of the public trust. And according to a new story from The New York Times, it may be the next frontier for a still-current Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo, who seems to have a lot in common with the former president. Here's Politics Editor Jack Holmes on Cuomo's latest mistake. Read More         Read More on Esquire.com       Follow Us     Unsubscribe  Privacy Notice   esquire.com ©2021 Hearst Communications Inc.
