This TikTok-favorite rapper is an inheritor of Drakeo the Ruler but also brings to mind Aceyalone and maybe even MC Paul Barman and what can I say, life is wild.

Sometimes I think Iāve reached, like, the end of TV. I donāt really care about prestige drama. Reality franchises on their 7th or 12th iteration bore me. I gave up on cable news because it made me more jittery than coffee.I can watch HGTV for hours though. Inject all that mid-period Chip & Joanna straight into my veins. Show me all the secret brick-cuttters working on the fringes of Laurel, Mississippi. Interested in couples therapy? Sit with a few episodes of āLove It or List It.ā Want to know exactly why that first wave of commercials for āChristina on the Coastā got reedited? Iāll tell you if you ask nice.Most of these shows revolve around how to make something more beautiful. Beauty fades, though. Is your dream built to last?When it crumbles, Mike Holmes can fix it. A no-nonsense Canadian who tears down drywall with bare hands, he has a persistent mien of disappointment. Electricians, roofers, landscapers, plumbers - theyāre all colossal idiot cost-cutters who prey on unsuspecting homeowners. In Mike Holmesās world, all is chaos, and he is the only hope for order.On his old shows - āHolmes on Homes,ā āHolmes Inspection,ā and so on, you get the point - - he glumly but firmly tears apart homes to find the evils that lurk within. Heās almost impossibly astute, an āIyanla, Fix My Lifeā-level reader of the needs of a house - and its owners. (Reruns air mostly on the DIY Network, part of the extended Discovery/HGTV ecosystem.)Ā I love how simple the homes are, and how catastrophic the hidden scars are. And yet time and again, he makes it right - an everyman healer and an avatar of the lost art of competence. In a time when every day feels like free fall, these shows are a somber acknowledgment of the ubiquity of disrepair, and a paean to the belief - the certainty - that it can be overcome.

Count on Fantasy Explosion to unearth the New York City vernacular vintage of your faded memories. Count on An Honest Living ā¢ to invent it as it should have been. These high-quality limited-run garments celebrate the cityās familiar but niche institutions - OTB, Con Edison, Fung Wah, etc. I bought the cap celebrating the essential 1990s hip-hop club the Tunnel, and if anyone would like to sell me the Peter Luger coachās jacket in XL, hit my DMs.

You ever search for something on eBay for so long it goes from unknown to unfindable to quasi-accepted to potentially washed - and thatās when it finally pops up in your size? Anyhow, I'm 95% sure my man Brendan Timmins (beautiful furniture ā Iāve got two pieces!) put me back on to Jordanās Two3 luxury line from the early 2000s, which looks pretty much exactly like the bizarro silhouette-experiment off-court fits so memorably documented on the defunctĀ What the F*** Is Michael Jordan Wearing? blog.Anyhow, the Cavvy - a square-toe slip-on Vibram-soled loafer in which the elastic runs vertically right down the middle of the shoe. It is maybe the platonic ideal of viable square-toe loafers, with apologies to Martine Rose and the vendors of Orchard St. It is bizarre and tough, and screams for a flowy wide leg pant. The colorway with black leather and beige elastic really is something, but a few months ago, I finally found an all-black pair in my size, sort of, for a reasonable price. They look absurd and hurt my feet. Iām so happy.
