There Are Great Herds of Scapegoats Shielding Donald Trump From Consequences
 
"I am not throwing a parade over the latest legal news out of New York City," writes Charlie P. Pierce. "Well, not a very long parade, anyway. Granted, the fact that the investigation into El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago's business practices seems to be accelerating into the upper prosecutorial atmosphere is undeniably satisfying, and infinitely better than the alternative. However, the people who should be the most nervous right now are accountants, and tax advisors, and some gray-faced lawyers of whom none of us ever have heard. Oh, and Alan Weisselberg, who is about to learn the truth of the old adage that, if you look around the barrel, and you can't tell who the big fish is, it's probably you." Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The 50 Best Father's Day Gifts for the Coolest Dad Around
 
So you've got what the kids call a "cool dad." Congratulations—that's a rare breed of father. Not that he doesn't let the occasional dad joke slip through, or wear the occasional cringe-inducing T-shirt, or occasionally mutter aloud to himself about the state of the world while he scrolls through Apple News. But the man's got good taste, and he's more likely to turn you onto a good whiskey, a great gadget, or life-changing music than vice versa. Here's how you can switch things up: Get him an equally cool, completely thoughtful gift for Father's Day. Wouldn't you know it, we've got 50 of those right here, and you've got plenty of time left to shop. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Your New Summer Shoe Is Neither Sneaker Nor Sandal
 
"I just haven't had much need lately for a shiny pair of commando boots or a raffish pair of black suede penny loafers," writes Michael B. Dougherty. "Instead, I tend to put on whatever can be just as quickly kicked off after I've fetched the latest package delivery or completed my daily bed-couch-bed orbit. Enter the new men's driving loafer from Rothy's, the sustainable lifestyle brand known for its alchemic approach, which involves turning discarded water bottles into thread, which is then knitted into uppers of every pattern and hue. Flexible enough to keep the slip-on vibes going but with enough dressy details to class-up your sweats or even pair with 'hard' pants (the horror!), Rothy's driving loafer is just the right shoe for this liminal style moment."

The Coolest Damn Polo You Can Wear This Spring
 
The polo shirt is an undisputed style staple. Declaring it's ever going to fall out of favor entirely is a little like claiming the suit is dead—reductive and perennially premature. That said, if you've been wearing one since way back, you could be forgiven for feeling like the standard-issue stuff is getting a little stale. There's only so much piqué a person can take before beginning to yearn for some variety. Thankfully, the folks at J.Crew feel your pain, and created a reasonably priced polo so good even the most dedicated T-shirt guy will want to wear it everywhere this spring.

What Amazon's Purchase of MGM Means for James Bond
 
Say goodbye to the studio era and hello to the streaming conglomerate era. In a blockbuster business deal, Amazon has purchased Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the storied Hollywood studio that gave us iconic tentpoles of cinematic history like Gone With the Wind, Doctor Zhivago, and The Wizard of Oz, among many others. MGM owns countless desirable franchises, like Rocky and Legally Blonde, but the jewel in the studio's crown is undoubtedly the marquee James Bond franchise, a massively profitable and fiercely guarded piece of intellectual property. But just what does this $8.45 billion deal mean for the future of Bond? It's too early to say, but one thing's for sure: don't expect a sudden glut of Bond movies. Read More
