10 Pairs of Shoes You Can Get For Less Than $150 Right Now
 
Shopping for shoes on Amazon can be, well...let's say overwhelming. From the thousands (upon thousands) of options on the site to the multiple iterations of extremely similar-looking styles being sold at once—usually thanks to folks offloading older models after new ones have been introduced—it's just not the easiest thing to do. But don't despair. Because I've been poring over the footwear options in the Internet's Everything Store to not only ID the ones that deserve a spot in your rotation, but ensure you're getting stuff that's up to snuff (i.e., it hasn't been gathering dust on the shelf for ages, and comes from reputable sellers). These shoes run the gamut from dressy(ish) desert boots to white sneakers perfectly suited to summer, but what pulls 'em all together is the approachable price—nothing is more than $150. So shop with confidence, add to cart, and take advantage of that sweet, sweet Prime shipping. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The 16 Essential T-Shirt Brands Every Man Should Know
 
We're living through historic times for the T-shirt. The basic tee, once imbued so indelibly with ties to the counter-culture courtesy of associations with on-screen badasses like Brando and Dean, is now so innocuous it's downright mainstream. Luckily for you, we sifted through the nearly endless supply of T-shirts available now to track down the 16 brands responsible for our favorites, with the recommendation that if you happen to find a style you dig, you stock up on it—and fast. From tees that are cut cropped and boxy, to tees that are longer and trim throughout the body, to tees that cling to your torso in exactly the way you want them to, we cover 'em all.

The Man Who Wound Up Dead on the Burt Reynolds Movie
 
On January 28, 1973, an MGM production company shooting The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing, a high-budget, middlebrow western starring Sarah Miles, Burt Reynolds and Lee J. Cobb, arrived at Gila Bend. Forty members of the cast and crew checked into the Travelodge Motel on the eastern edge of town. One turned up dead. There was no pulse. The skin had cooled. Pale blotches on the hands, the neck and the forehead suggested to Sergeant Hinderliter that death had come to the body several hours before he had. Rigor mortis, in its early stages, had stiffened the arms which were wrapped in an embrace around an empty polyethylene wastebasket. It was twelve-thirty p.m. Read More

We Need a Break From Pandemic Parenting
 
My wife and I have an elaborate fantasy. A weekend away from the kids. An expensive hotel. We lie on the high-thread-count sheets on the king bed, put soft music on the speaker, and then we don't talk, we don't move, we certainly don't do that. We do nothing. It is glorious. We are never alone. Our suburban Chicago house was already too small before it became two schools and an office. The conversation starts at 6:00 a.m., when the five-year-old wants to discuss Mario Kart, and goes until midnight, when we close our bedroom door on our teenager, midsentence, still going strong about some meme. There's not a single moment of quiet, not a single moment for nothing. In one year, we aged a decade. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Yes, Rudy Giuliani Was Raided by the Feds, But What About HUNTER BIDEN?
 
Tucker Carlson hosted Giuliani on his show and played his part as co-spinner. Somehow, a discussion of the federal action against Giuliani became a discussion about the various misadventures of Hunter Biden, who certainly has suffered with substance-abuse issues and should not have held a seat on the board of a Ukrainian energy company while his father was Vice President of the United States. This is exactly the kind of government-adjacent family grift the Trump clan came to specialize in, which made it all the more galling to hear about it from Junior and Co., but the basic point stands.
