Yeesh, Look at Pete Hegseth's Suit

Last week was the NATO Ministers of Defense Meeting in Brussels. The United States was represented by newly minted secretary of defense Pete Hegseth, who seemed to revel in standing out from the crowd during a group photo on February 13. Hegseth even took to X (the increasingly virulent social-media platform formerly known as Twitter) to crow about it. "One of these things is not like the others..." he wrote, following that sentiment up with "America First, always." I suppose there's a real stretch of an argument to be made that Hegseth is referring to American exceptionalism in the grand, philosophical sense. I doubt it. A much better bet is that he's talking about his suit.

Read More The Monkey Is a Delirious Gross-Out Hoot That Totally Cracks the Stephen King Adaptation Code There have been some god-awful Stephen King movies over the years. Sometimes it seems like for every masterpiece like Carrie or The Shawshank Redemption, there's a half-dozen DOA stiffs like The Tommyknockers, The Lawnmower Man, and Maximum Overdrive. It's hard to lay the blame for any of this at King's feet (well, except for Maximum Overdrive—he directed that one himself during his blitzed-out coke days), but perhaps the author's famously liberal policy when it comes to giving his blessing to untested filmmakers itching to adapt his books could stand to be a little bit less liberal. That said, the latest big-screen chiller bearing the bold-faced name of Maine's Maestro of the Macabre feels like a corrective—a giddy, gruesome, Grand Guignol step in the right direction. Horror lovers should gobble it up.

Read More The $117 Headphones That Can't Be Beat I haven't stuck with anything for as long as I've stuck with my Marshall headphones—no piece of clothing, no lifestyle tool, not even my phone. In December 2021, I was gifted a pair of the brand's Major IV headphones for Christmas; I'd been wanting a pair of over-ear headphones for aesthetic purposes, but I was picky about things like looks, comfort, and, of course, having to keep the Bluetooth headphones charged. (I'm historically a wired-headphones loyalist because they'll never die on you.) The Major IVs became my new go-to, an infallible, practical accessory I wouldn't be caught dead leaving the house without.
