    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I love both The Wire and Deadwood. Deadwood is Shakespeare and incredibly rich writing. If you want more of that Shakespeare, go watch David Milch with NYPD Blue. It's all there (except the cussing). You'll even recognize many of the actors. The Wire got a little preachy and dragged a bit...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Terror. AMC. each season is a new story. This one is based around the Japanese-American, WWII, and internment camps. I'm curious about how the Japanese, and more specifically the Japanese acting world, are receiving this. It's good to have jobs. It's good to not be the token ethnic...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Handmaid's Tale. Hulu. season 3 finale. I'm all caught up. I got tired of going to check on something and running into spoilers. The further you go, the less dark it gets. In case anyone has it on their to-watch list, I don't want to spoil it. One of the better endings I've seen in a...

    If you don't like the first season of Preacher, I would think you're done with it. It's the best season. Each season is less.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Lodge 49. AMC. Another series I don't understand a bit, not the content nor why I would waste my time when there's so much TV out there. I like the vibe, the lodge, the acting, and most of the characters. Some of the story feels like filler, but when they're talking alchemy and mysticism, I...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    American Experience: Woodstock: Three Days that Defined a Generation. PBS. I tend to like the American Experience series quite a bit. Yet another documentary that could have been edited in half, or they could have shown more footage of people, the incredible number of booths and service...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Preacher. AMC. season 4 opening 2 episodes. I'm not sure what these two episodes were supposed to tell us. It's been losing its mojo for a while, but I felt these were a mess and didn't really do much for me or the story. City on a Hill. Showtime. I wouldn't say this series is great. One...

    'Top Gun: Maverick': Patches On Tom Cruise's Jacket Spark Controversy

    They kind of don't have other options if they want to play on the main stage. Nobody does. In economics, the strong force is to follow the leader. It's grade school rules, and the circumventing thereof, and all the unsavory behavior we experienced as children. We don't really change that...

    'Top Gun: Maverick': Patches On Tom Cruise's Jacket Spark Controversy

    Right on! What nationalism isn't a mess of oversensitivity, hypocrisy, exceptionalism, power drunkenness, blindness, and other ill conceptions? It's a handy big weapon, unfortunately.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Euphoria. HBO. I still don't know what this story is telling. I'm wondering how much the movie Less Than Zero influenced the original idea. For me, the biggest problem isn't necessarily the weak story, but that it feels like some executives and marketing people got in a room and made a list...

    'Top Gun: Maverick': Patches On Tom Cruise's Jacket Spark Controversy

    This isn't to argue on his behalf, because scientology...well...scientology...he has a ton of weight and responsibility on his shoulders. High energy, hyper-positivism, keep-it mainstream and boilerplate are his duties being the face of that whole thing. Milk toast. It's no coincidence he was...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Handmaid's Tale. Hulu. I've stuck with it. While dark and so very depressing, both the characters and story are not without reward, and while the story is uber-suffocating in design, the characters nuance their way, in tiny steps, through development. I suppose that should go without...

    what do you call ski sweaters without cuffs?

    As the title asks, is there a dedicated name for sweaters that don't have any cuffs? The knit stays exactly the same throughout the sleeves and body. No accents or stylizing at the wrists or waist. I do remember them having a different knit for the collar. I remember seeing sweaters at ski...

    Feet Up! The Work Boot Thread

    Does Carolina make Caterpillar? Or the other way around? Or does Carolina make for other brands or are made by another brand or brands? So many of their designs look familiar, and even the leather looks familiar, but I'm relatively certain I've never seen a Carolina boot in person.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Handmaid's Tale. Hulu. I'm four episodes into season two. I'm considering not watching any further. It's very tense. It's very good. It affects me in dark ways. Some of it feels all too possible in this moment. I can't imagine being a woman watching this.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sharp Objects. HBO. Watched the pilot when it was first released and didn't find a lot of enthusiasm for it at the time. Felt like a one-trick pony. Watched the second episode a couple nights ago, and it felt the same way. I don't know. Maybe one more episode and be done with it if I feel...

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    I really appreciate shoes-off-indoors cultures. Really do. And offering guest footwear at the door is plain ol' smart. In my experience, the only people who begrudge the custom, or request, are people who have never cleaned a house for themselves. The types who benefited from other people...

    Oilskin coats

    Fabric. Leather. A hair dryer is indeed an indispensable tool in maintenance thereof. I believe this was shared elsewhere on the board, and if so, thank you to the original poster and finder. I have not used it myself, but I have every intention of trying it. I believe it is a DIY hack for...

    The wrist watch.

    Hey fellas, what are the makes and models of those watches? For the newbie, it's handy information. Thanks.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley. HBO. I remember watching Charlie Rose interview Elizabeth Holmes and thinking she was just a talking head and very strange. There were no hard information in that interview. Rose's problems aside, his interviews were usually interesting and...
