[Everlane's Japanese Cotton Oxford Is the All-Seasons Shirt That Doubles as a Security Blanket]( Everlane’s Japanese cotton oxford is a bona fide classic made for all seasons, so trust this is an investment (can we call it an investment at the just-right price of sixty two bucks, even?) you'll be dining on the gains from for years. This summer, it makes for the perfect post-pool shirt. Throw it on in the aforementioned manner, maybe button one button if you have to go into a store, and know that it looks just as good with swim trunks as it does with chinos. Come fall, it's the perfect layering piece to pair with all your cashmere and cable-knit sweaters. Ditto for the winter months. And if you—gasp—find yourself suiting up again, it'll work underneath that lost garment, too. You simply cannot fail with this shirt.

In the film, Gaga will portray Patrizia Reggiani, who was tried and convicted of planning the murder of her ex-husband and former head of Gucci, Maurizio Gucci, who will be played by Driver. Enough about the plot, though. We'll deal with that when the movie comes out. The sweater is what's happening right now.

That includes 59 percent of Republicans. And yet Senate Republicans unanimously opposed it. Some House Republicans, led by the extremely normal Marjorie Taylor Greene, tried to adjourn the lower chamber at 9:24 a.m. Wednesday to avoid a vote on it. A sweeping majority of her Republican colleagues—people collecting a salary from taxpayers—joined her in trying to take the day off. At first glance, this seems like incredibly self-destructive behavior for members of a political party that seek to get more votes than their opponents in future elections. But that takeaway rests on a flawed assumption: that Republicans are interested in getting a majority of eligible voters' support. They are not, really. Rather than adopt a policy platform that might appeal to the majority, they are more interested in trying to limit who can vote in the hope they can reshape the electorate into something they can win. Republican state legislatures are on the warpath right now, waging an all-out assault on voting rights in Iowa, Georgia, Arizona, Montana, Missouri, Florida, Texas, and beyond. But in the age of Trump, this has been ratcheted up to 16, as the ex-president's Big Lie about the 2020 election has been seamlessly adapted to justify what Democratic lawyer Marc Elias is calling an "avalanche of voter suppression" unseen "since Jim Crow." Republicans now believe themselves so dependent on voter suppression in order to compete in elections that you get this kind of thing from Senator Mike Lee of Utah.[Read More]( [The 6 Best Massage Guns to Dig Deep into Muscles Anytime You Need]( You ever watch a video of Phil Collins playing one of those rad drum fills and think, ugh, what I wouldn't give to be that drum kit right now.

At time of writing, the current bid for the piece stands at $3.5 million. In the sports world, game highlights can be bought and sold as NFTs, though anyone can watch these for free.
