He would've told you that you're the best kid a dad could ask for, dropped a dad joke and then a grain of dad wisdom, and driven off into the sunset. But that brilliant idea for a gift just isn't coming to you, is it? As it'd happen, we know what to give the guy who's been giving you stuff—hand-me-down baseball gloves, Band-Aids, second opinions, backseat driving instructions—since the day you were born. These are 50 surefire gifts for dads ahead of Father's Day. Read More | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | The Rich and Famous Need to Log Off | | | | You are rich. You are famous. Why are you on the Internet? Because I want to make my voice heard, you say. Because I want to connect directly with my fans. How about you ask Chrissy Teigen how that's been going? Teigen is an extraordinarily famous person who used to spend a lot of time on social media. These days, she can usually be found posting lengthy apologies for things she did when she spent a lot of time on social media. It is almost singularly baffling to see rich and famous people on the Internet. What are you doing? Why are you choosing to be when you could just be rich and famous out there?

But like so many things that once seemed verboten and now feel kinda fine to wear wherever—lookin' at you, Crocs and sweatpants—flip-flops don't really deserve all the flack that's been thrown their way over the years. Does the idea of wearing a pair on a crowded subway car or out to dinner with the in-laws still conjure deep feelings of dread from the very core of one's being? Sure does! But long gone are the days when any of us, even the most ardent anti-flopper, should expend any serious energy railing against the humble flip-flop.

Well, yeah, because I grew up doing doo-wop under the street lamps in the drizzling rain with my brothers, went to house parties to learn the latest moves. I don't have formal training as a singer and dancer, but it's in my blood." Read More | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | ABC Tried to Bury This James Baldwin Interview. Four Decades Later, It's Blisteringly Relevant. | | | | In 1979, up-and-coming television producer Joseph Lovett scored the opportunity of a lifetime. Just a few months into his stint at 20/20, ABC's upstart television news magazine, Lovett was assigned a profile of James Baldwin, pegged to the publication of Baldwin's nineteenth novel, Just Above My Head. Lovett was "beyond thrilled" to tell the titanic American writer's story—but it's taken until 2021 for that interview to see the light of day.
