Georgia senator Jon Ossoff gave a speech yesterday during which he mentioned someone named Natalie. He was referring to one of Trump’s aides, who has become oddly close to the president lately. Well, the MAGA hordes jumped on Ossoff, claiming his behavior was sexist and wrong. Esquire columnist Charles P. Pierce found the reaction a bit hypocritical. Read why below. —Chris Hatler, deputy editor

During a recent speech, the George senator made one tiny mention of Trump’s favorite White House aide, and it clearly hit close to home

They say it’s a hit dog that howls. It’s also a hit political party that whines. And, over the last few days, Republican whining has been loud enough to deafen dogs on Neptune.
On Sunday, Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia) addressed a campaign rally in Atlanta. He is campaigning against a MAGA finger-puppet named Mike Collins, last seen calling for the impeachment of President Biden for something, something, OMIGOD, LAPTOP! Anyway, in the course of his campaign, Ossoff has been relentless in his criticism of the administration for the purpose of hanging El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago around his opponent’s neck like a dead raccoon. (Stand down, Secretary Kennedy.) It is important to remember here that Ossoff did nothing but mention Natalie Harp's name because, whooooo, doggies, did the word go out swiftly to all the flying monkey escadrilles all over the country.

“I want more than anything to be scared so badly,” Cregger, 45, tells me over Zoom. “You have no idea.” He’s calling in from his office in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife, the actress Sara Paxton. Cregger describes that feeling of watching The Shining like an addict chasing the high of their first hit, knowing that it’s never going to be that good again. So when he wrote the award-winning Weapons, about a witch who terrorizes a suburban neighborhood—or his debut, Barbarian, about a monster who lives in the basement of an Airbnb—he claims it was just to make his own skin crawl.
“I’m trying to make what Zach would least want to see happen in this situation, and that’s what goes in the movie,” he says. “I’m not trying to terrify people. I’m trying to terrify me.”
Cregger is ascending in the industry just as once-lucrative superhero blockbusters are running dry at the box office. The one constant for audiences? Horror.

If you dread the thought of having the same thing on your wrist as someone else in the room, you’ve come to the right place. Not that there’s anything wrong with yearning for a Submariner or a Seamaster—we’re just as guilty as any watch fan—but sometimes it pays to do things a little differently. And though the juggernauts of the watch world tend to dominate the conversation, there are so, so many other players out there that are well deserving of your attention.
We’re talking about watchmakers with penchants for vintage good looks but price tags that don’t require a bank loan. Brands with unexpected sources of inspiration. (Coffee, anyone?) And companies that take the “Just have fun with it” ethos more seriously than you might expect. They tend to be grouped under the somewhat generic “microbrand” label. While that’s not exactly wrong when you compare them with the big guys, there’s a ton of variety and nuance to explore within that space.
