| | | Todd Snyder's Massive Sale Is Testing Our Self Control | | The hardest thing about clicking over to Todd Snyder's ongoing sale section might just be making sure you have enough time—and self control. There's so much good stuff to get through, and so much that could easily take up residence in your closet, that picking just one thing (or, hell, five things) poses a very real challenge. Is it just me? It might be! But I doubt it. Todd's stuff has been a perennial favorite of not only Esquire's editors, but its readers, too. So, what are we to do with this information? Grin and bear it? Hold out and try to ignore those sweet, sweet deals? Hell no! Instead, I've scoured the entire sale section to find 21 things that you should consider buying right this instant and wearing all through the remaining days of winter and then well into spring (and summer, and fall). Happy shopping.

This seems like wishful thinking, both because history tells us the "if" there is doing so much work, and also because the Republican Party, despite its manifestly unpopular policy agenda, has remained competitive in state and federal politics for years now thanks at least in part to its ingrained structural advantages—some longstanding, as with the Senate, and others cranked up to 11 in the modern era, like extreme partisan gerrymandering. But the other element fueling Republican viability is Democratic fecklessness whenever the party is handed the reins. They need to use the power the public gave them in the 2020 elections to address the issues most of the public thinks are important. Here's Politics Editor Jack Holmes on why Democrats should can the filibuster and pass their popular solutions to issues most people actually care about.

Money, creativity, support. And then space, that physical area you set aside for yourself to live, to work, to create. Because doing all that stuff on your bed ain't it. But for some of us, specifically the tiny house and cramped apartment dwellers of the world, a standard desk just isn't going to work. If it fits at all, it's taking up the scant free space in the floor plan. But working from home is that much harder without one. So here are 15 small desks that get creative with space usage—hanging from walls, gripping to windows, disappearing when the day is done. Get a feel for the square footage you do have, and then choose one that'll not only work, but make your work feel a little less taxing. And finally, a word for the wise: Measure, do not eyeball. Never eyeball. Your eyeball is, unless highly trained in the art of guess-measuring, wrong.

Hundreds? Thousands? The doorstop-thickness of his essential anthology, I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie offers a hint at the sheer massiveness of the number. It's 406 pages long—and according to Ebert, it merely represented the tip of the iceberg. Still, even the most masochistic movie reviewer can have his or her limit. And in February of 1979, Ebert met his. A film that was so inept and god-awful he had to get up and walk out of the theater. Now, come on. How are you not going to throw on Caligula after reading that? So that's what Chris Nashawaty did. It had been nearly 20 years since he'd first seen the infamous sword-and-sandal porno dumpster fire. And witnessing it again, he was actually kind of impressed that Ebert managed to stay in his seat as long as he did. Nashawaty thinks what he was hoping for this time around was some sort of so-bad-it's-good cult classic. Instead, what he got was quite possibly the worst—and most unerotic—film ever made. Afterwards, he was numb. he needed to how the hell this movie came to be. So he began digging. This is what he found.
