    Drake Maye Just Doesn’t Want to Look Like a “Goofball” on the NFL Draft Red Carpet

    The NFL Draft is about much more than finding out which rookie will be joining your favorite team. It is also about learning which soon-to-be NFL players can really get dressed up. Drake Maye, one of the top quarterbacks in this year’s class, is looking to keep things simple as he makes his first real foray into the big-league fashion space. While he’s much more comfortable slinging touchdown passes than he is at the tailor, Maye says he enjoyed the pre-draft ritual of getting fitted for the...

  • Pushing Buttons: The Fallout series doesn’t just look right – it feels like it was made by gamers, too

    In this week’s newsletter: Great game adaptations are increasingly high-budget fan-fiction, thanks to a generation of writers who actually understand games• Don’t get Pushing Buttons delivered to your inbox? Sign up hereI am a few episodes from the end of the series Fallout on Prime Video. It’s funny and gory, at times sentimental and at other times ridiculous. In other words, it’s just like the games, which veer between quiet, tragic moments exploring the vestiges of America, and being chased...

  • Google Doesn’t Want You to Read This

    Over the last year, we've alerted our readers to specific RedState articles that Google has demonetized, meaning that no ads can be shown on those articles and RedState doesn't receive any revenue on them, for allegedly violating its guidelines. Google claims the offending articles contain "dangerous or derogatory content" or "unreliable and harmful claims," but what they really contain is content Google and/or the government deem dangerous to groupthink and the accepted narratives – content...

    Why Venting When You’re Mad Just Makes It Worse

    When you’re mad as hell, it’s human nature to want to tell someone about it. Many work friendships have started over mutual venting about the boss. But while your gut reaction may be to send a “this guy” Slack to your commiserating buddy every time something (or more likely, someone) pisses you off at work, it’s probably not going to make you feel any less peeved. According to new research that took into account 154 different studies on anger, venting isn’t an effective way to get rid of anger....

  • Preschool? Transitional kindergarten? Is there a difference? Parents are stressing out

    Yelena Hagooli has done everything possible to give her 4-year-old son the best start in life. She took him to the library every week, fed him the healthiest foods, left her job to care for him, and even moved to Beverly Hills because she’d heard such good things about the schools. But the parenting decision she is grappling with now feels more momentous: Should she keep him in his beloved preschool for another year or send him to the newly expanded transitional kindergarten, called TK for...

  • Heard the one about the city that doesn’t own its bus station?

    You know the sort of thing. Elon Musk has flown his own rocket into outer space, Elvis Presley is still alive and owns a fish-and-chip shop in Broxburn, or Liz Truss has written a book. Hang on, I’ve just done some research and discovered that two of those stories are actually true. Incredible. Who’d have believed that Liz Truss has actually written a book? Anyway, I read this week that Edinburgh Bus Station is not owned by the council. It is in fact owned by a pension fund who want to develop...
