These Slippers Were Made for This Moment

Ugg's Tasman slip-on is super cozy and extremely necessary. If you have trouble reading this message, [view it in a browser](. [The Slippers You Need Now, Because Everyone Needs Slippers Now]( Slippers are one of life's great joys. Kicking off your real shoes and sliding into something soft and inviting to pad around in? It's like a shot of serotonin straight to your brain. That feeling used to hit after a long day for a lot of us, but now that "staying at home" is the new "going anywhere at all," it can happen all the time. Call it a silver lining? Or don't call it anything, but at least recognize that slippers are more necessary than ever. I've long been an advocate. Now I'm an evangelist.[Read More]( [Boeing Wants a Bailout After Years of Bad Corporate Governance—and Without Giving Taxpayers Anything in Return]( Boeing is among the world's largest aerospace companies and defense contractors. It secures more in government contracts every year than almost any other firm. In 2017, for instance, Boeing pulled down $23.4 billion in taxpayer cash, second only to Lockheed Martin's $50 billion. That looks like a steal when you look at what we get for that Lockheed money—namely, the F-35 Flying Dunce Cap—but it's just one segment of Boeing's business. It also has contracts with airlines foreign and domestic, which helped it bring in $100 billion in total revenue that year. That's also part of why Boeing is in a whole lot of trouble now: air travel is down as much as 95 percent in the United States, which is killing airlines that, in turn, may pull the plug on some deals they may have had with Boeing.[Read More]( [The Vice President Says He Didn't Wear a Mask So That He Could Look People in the Eye]( Mock toughness is this administration*’s greatest bluff, because it happens to be this president*’s greatest bluff. The president* who got famous "firing" celebrities on a television show generally leaves the actual task to underlings, because face-to-face confrontations make him nervous. Anything that scares him—like, say, a worldwide pandemic that now can fairly be said to center in the United States—is wished away or denied, the way a child pretends he’s invisible when he’s only hiding under the covers. If the administration* can’t bully its way through a situation, it usually folds like a five-dollar accordion. When the going gets tough, the president* finds someone to blame. A pair of stories this week illustrate this better than ever.[Read More]( [35 Cheap Mother's Day Gift Ideas for the Son on a Budget]( You're on a tight budget right now. That's understandable, given the way things have been going this year.

That being said, you absolutely should fuss, at least a little, and get her something, because it'll make her feel special, and she deserves as much. You just don't have to drop an arm and a leg (and her grandkid's future college fund) to do it. Here are 35 useful, thoughtful Mother's Day gifts you can buy mom for less than $30.

Extremely limited exposure to the outside world and its harsh "set of standards" represents nothing if not a great opportunity to experiment with a look (or a few!) you'd be hesitant to embrace otherwise, and letting your facial hair freak flag fly is the perfect way to feel like you're bucking a few conventions on the sly. The Hallowed Halls of the Hirsute are a wonderful place to wander, so sit down and stay a while. (It's not like you have any other plans.
