The holiday weekend is the unofficial start of summer and a good reason to refresh your closet for the warmer months ahead. Esquire curated the very best sales on menswear right now, which you can read here. Elsewhere, we have coverage of The Last of Us season 2 finale—no spoilers from me—and a culture critic's take on the latest Mission: Impossible movie. If you crave something deeper, you'll also find in today's newsletter the award-winning piece, "The Things That Carried Him," by Chris Jones, who tells the story of a soldier's final trip home. It's a powerful act of storytelling and a good reminder of why we take the time to mark Memorial Day. – Michael Sebastian, editor-in-chief Plus: |

Ariela Barer Opens Up About Mel's Devastating Scene in The Last of Us Finale |
"I was so nervous and panicked. I couldn't stop sobbing," says Barer. The actress, who also cowrote and produced the 2022 thriller How to Blow Up a Pipeline, says she has an involuntary habit of laughing while crying. "[Showrunner] Craig [Mazin] came to my room after my coverage to congratulate me, and I could not stop crying and laughing. He's like, 'Are you a crazy person?' That was a sweet bonding moment for Craig and I." |

Don Collins stood in the sun and mapped out in his mind a rectangle on the grass, eight feet by three feet. He is forty-nine, wears a handful of pomade in his hair, and no longer needs a tape to take the measure of things. Indiana state law dictates that the lid of the burial vault be two feet below the surface. That meant Collins had to dig down five feet, ultimately lifting out about a hundred cubic feet of earth. He wouldn't need a tape to measure that, either. Since 1969, his father, Don Sr., has owned the Collins Funeral Home, just up Elm Street, just past the little yellow house with the two yellow ribbons tied to the tree out front. As a boy, Don Jr. had lived upstairs with the spirits and the rest of his family, over the chapel. He and his younger brother, Kevin, would later work with their dad in the back room, embalming the bodies of their neighbors at three o'clock in the morning, and he still assists his father in his capacity as coroner. But Don Jr. has had enough of bodies in back rooms. He likes it better outside, in the sticky air, working with the earth. |
