Hair transplants look good now. We're well past the era of vertically implanted clusters (plugs, as you know 'em), visible strip scars, and hairlines that looked artificial the moment someone moved their head. Hair transplantation is transformative, and it's unmissable when someone gets a great one. Hell, you definitely know a handful of guys who have had one or even two transplants, whether or not they've been public about sharing. I've had a hair transplant. My partner has had one too. Multiple friends have had them, and recently I've even helped a friend document his hair-transplant process and recovery. |

It's risky to do elective surgery on a happily-ever-after. When Scrubs ended after eight seasons in May 2009, Zach Braff's earnest and awkward doctor J.D. left the Sacred Heart hospital envisioning happy married life with Elliot (Sarah Chalke), a lifelong friendship with Turk and Carla (Donald Faison and Judy Reyes), and even a future wedding between the couple's children—plus an uncharacteristically heartfelt goodbye hug from his merciless mentor/nemesis Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley.) The new revival of Scrubs, debuting on ABC on February 25, picks up with the same characters 17 years later, but Braff and Faison say fans should note that what they saw onscreen before was kind of a Ghost of Christmas Future thing: a possibility, not a certainty. "I don't know if everyone remembers this, but the finale's happy ending is all in J.D.'s imagination," Braff tells Esquire for this exclusive first look at the new series. "It's what his hopes and dreams are for the future. But as we all know, as living on earth, our hopes and dreams don't necessarily all come true." |

All Swiss watch manufactures are not the same. But on the surface, yeah, they pretty much are. A lot of white coats, airlocks, dust suppression mechanisms, highly skilled watchmakers, and inspiring views of the snow-capped Alps beyond the plate glass windows. It takes experience to parse out the subtleties that make a particular manufacture stand out—one for its mind-bending métiers d'art decoration, another for the rigor with which it tests its calibers, another for its obsession with perfecting a particular type of movement.
Whistle-stop visits to Casio's Tokyo HQ and to its Yamagata Prefecture manufacture this past summer were a real eye-opener. |

Here come the Senate Republicans. Clear the roads. Get of the way. The bugle has sounded retreat, and Senator Josh Hawley (R-Scarpering) is out in the early lead. Last week, five Republicans joined with the Democrats to force a vote on a measure that would've required the president to seek congressional approval for any further use of the military in Venezuela. Then, on Tuesday, Hawley and Todd Young, Republican of Indiana, flipped on the measure, enabling vice president J Divan Vance to cast a tie-breaking vote that killed the measure.
Both Hawley and Young attempted to get the nation to believe that they had changed their votes due to the intervention of that titan of diplomacy, Marco Rubio. |

If your New Year's Resolution is to spend less time on screens and more time touching grass, I've got bad news: There's so many cool video games coming out in 2026. Last year was a prodigious year for gaming, with hits like Monster Hunter Wilds, Doom: The Dark Ages, Arc Raiders, Ghost of Yōtei, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 all taking up our free time. 2026 looks to be no different, with a number of games demanding our attention. Some of this year's hottest games are sequels to franchises, like Resident Evil Requiem and Control Resonant, while others are original titles—like Reanimal and Pragmata—that promise completely new experiences. And we'd be wanted by the cops if we didn't already mention Grand Theft Auto VI, which has made the entire industry clear out plans for November just to make room for one of the biggest games of all time. You should totally cut down on your screen time in 2026. Your eyes will thank you. But if your hands are itching to hold a controller again, consider any one of these 25 games to break your resolution. |

Everyone in this country pretty much believes that in order to heal, you have to talk. It's like bearing witness, this opening yourself up, this "forgiving" yourself for what happened to you. You have to tell. You are better for telling. You can help others tell. I managed this whole thing as a secret from the very start. From the third week of high school through college and graduate school, through years of bartending and tail chasing, of blow jobs in cars and fucking on office furniture, through my marriage and the last days of my divorce, through hundreds of drunken conversations and the deaths of relatives, through promotions at work and the fathering of my two boys, I never told anyone. Not my parents, not my brothers, not my wife, not girlfriends or best friends, not the four therapists I worked with, not the marriage counselor my wife and I saw, not aunts or uncles, not drinking buddies, not my children. That fact doesn't embarrass me so much as amaze me. I'm generally a talker. Silence took some strength on my part. |
