They've Chosen Sandler. | | | | Everyone knows that trends are cyclical. Styles come in—we buy them, get sick of them, and they live in our closets, untouched and mildew-y, until we finally work up the courage to get rid of them. Then they come back in style, ever so slightly different looking, and only once we've finally gotten rid of them, of course. That's capitalism, baby. And that's why it's important to develop your own personal style, one that doesn't change with the trends. Your own unique way of dressing that speaks to who you are, that makes you feel good. So much so that others might even start to look to you for inspiration. This is a story about that kind of fashion god—so singular and timeless in his style that he has the power to start a movement all on his own. The star in question? Adam Sandler.

The AirPods Max still cost over $500. There will be no End of Summer Blowout sale on iPads. However, Amazon does have a few Apple devices in its digital store that aren't as expensive as they were when they were first released. Call it a small blessing. Right now, the most enticing of those discounts includes around 20 percent off AirPods and AirPods Pro, as well as a few discounts on Apple Watches—though stock seems to be pretty damn low on these—iPads, and Macbooks. Here are the Apple deals on Amazon you can shop early.

Show me one person you know without at least one T-shirt in their rotation, and we will show you someone who is lying to you, my guy. And when it comes to tees, there is no version more elemental, more perfectly distilled, than the plain white T-shirt. Now, there's so much going on in the white-T-shirt world right now that the biggest hurdle might not be deciding that you want one but deciding which one you want. Whatever you're looking to buy, though, start here.

He didn't have this many tools when he was 44, did he? He doesn't need this many tools to get through retirement, does he? Who can say. All we know is that this man, and a lot of other men, including quite a few dads, find themselves really liking tools. Call it one of life's greatest mysteries. Sometimes they even fix things with them! Though inexplicable, the issue can be alleviated. Just get your dad (or you; you can buy gadgety stuff for yourself, too) a tool for Father's Day. Easier said than done, we know. You don't have a clue what he's already got hidden away in the bucket behind the Honda. Approach tool-gifting differently, then, with a multitool like StatGear's, which he certainly won't see coming.

Will Joe Manchin? | | | | Joe Manchin left a meeting with American civil-rights leaders Tuesday saying their discussion on the ongoing assault on voting rights—and thus, American democracy itself—at the state level, and the obligation of Congress to respond, was "constructive" and "informative." But he was still against S. 1, the For the People Act, the bill those activists had come to lobby him on. In an op-ed last weekend, the senator said he opposes it on the basis that it's 800 pages(?) and lacks support from Senate Republicans. "I don't think anybody changed positions on that. We're just learning where everybody's coming from," he told reporters, and it can't have come as much of a surprise. Manchin going back to West Virginia to tell folks there he flipped on a major elections bill because of a conversation with Al Sharpton just does not seem, whatever the moral merits, like the kind of politics the senator practices.

For years, many claimed the brutal, bloody, triumphant sport that introduced Muhammad Ali to the world was dying a slow death, with declining pay-per-view (PPV) numbers and an uptick in competition from the likes of the dynamic, upstart UFC and MMA to blame. But over the past few years, boxing has seen a baby-faced challenger to its old guard, as a rapidly growing number of influencers have leveraged their millions of followers into Super Bowl-esque spectacles that rank amongst the most successful PPV events of all time. This past Sunday's exhibition between Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather, which was the first time an influencer collided with a legend in the sport, was just the beginning. Now, as dudes better known for Fortnite bans get shredded and brawl in press conferences, those with skin in the boxing game are grappling with the possibility of a future where influencers have more opportunities than pros who've boxed their entire lives.
