ATLANTA—Touting the product as the easiest way for DIY-ers to seriously injure themselves, Home Depot introduced a new 100-pound bag of mulch Thursday for fucking up your back in the garden section. “Made from all-natural organic materials, our new too-heavy bag of mulch is perfect for absolutely destroying your spine…
Political reporter Tom LoBianco has covered Pence in both Indiana and Washington, D.C. He describes the vice president as a man of faith who is willing to put political ambition ahead of his beliefs.
The Nike Air Force 1 (AF1) is the latest iconic kick to get equipped with weatherproof Gore-Tex, just in time for the holidays.
Converse, another brand owned by the sportswear giant, has released multiple Chuck Taylor All-Stars that incorporate the rugged, trademarked fabric. But for now, just two AF1s baring the Swoosh with Gore-Tex linings are being released.
The first is a white-and-blue high-top with a twist: the upper boasts a zippered bootie that’s both fashionable and functional in bad weather.
The second is a classic, Army green-and-tan low-top with layered ballistic nylon and full-grain leather. Either would serve as a stylishly prudent choice for those who live in an area that gets whacked with snow and slush in the winter.
Gore-Tex clothing collabs are all the rage these days, but it was Danner that first used it way back in 1978. The Oregon-based footwear company recently unveiled the Danner Light 40th Anniversary Edition boot to celebrate four decades partnership.
As for the Nike Air Force 1 Gore-Tex models, a specific release date or price hasn’t been announced. Keep your eyes peeled for a drop in between October and December.
We know that Mark Wahlberg follows a ridiculously strict “regular” daily workout and meal schedule. When he’s preparing for a staring role in a blockbuster, the perennially jacked 48-year-old actor has been known to ramp up the intensity. Such is the case with his latest project: Infinite.
The Antoine Fuqua-directed movie is based a novel titled The Reincarnationist Papers by D. Eric Maikranz and follows “a group of near-immortal men and women who are reincarnated over the centuries and known as the Infinite. To defeat an evil mastermind, the group must rely on a man who suffers from schizophrenia [Wahlberg] who will have to learn that all his vivid dreams are actually memories from past lives, in order to defeat the villain,” according to Slashfilm.
Men’s Journal gathered a bunch of videos posted on Wahlberg’s Instagram page that show a few of the heart-pounding workouts he used to get lean and mean for the silver screen.
In one, Wahlberg knocks out 21 consecutive reps of what look like a variation of the CrossFit-approved “Kipping pull-up.”
Another clip shows Wahlberg chest pressing two 80-pound dumbbells like with relative ease while wearing blood flow-restricting bands, which cause blood to pool up in working muscles and promotes growth, according to Men’s Health.
In another video, Walhberg promotes something called F45, a new training program that he invested in earlier this year.
Men’s Health reports that F45 combines “High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Circuit Training, and Functional Training. This combination of interval, cardiovascular and strength training has been proven to be the most effective workout method for burning fat and building lean muscle.”
Here’s what it looks like:
And here’s a montage of Walhberg on his “day off” from F45, which still consists of stretching, dumbbell chest presses, push-ups and more.
The end result of all this hard work? A seriously shredded physique that defies Wahlberg’s middle age.
“Get it,” indeed.
If you were even close enough to drinking age to fool someone in the 1980s, there’s an outside chance you tried a Bartles & Jaymes wine cooler. And even if you didn’t, their commercials featuring a pair of cheerful old men playing the brand’s namesakes were inescapable.
Between 1984 to 1991 they churned out dozens of spots pimping their sweet, fruity, relatively low ABV drinks, all of them ending with Frank Bartles—the one who did all the talking—saying, “… And thank you for your support.”
Then in January 1991 the U.S. Congress hiked excise taxes on wine from a reasonable $0.17 to an eye-popping $1.07 per gallon.
That kind of punched the wine cooler market in the gut and drink makers began using malt instead. Bartles & Jaymes didn’t go away, but it did go to ground…till now. The company that owns the brand—E&J Gallo—just this year started paying the big wine tax and blam, wine is back in coolers again and the coolers are now in cans.
If you guessed that the explosion of hard seltzers like White Claw inspired the move, you’re probably right. After all, many details of the new Bartles & Jaymes coolers are similar:
There’s something touching about the idea that the children of 80s college students will get to replicate their parents’ experiences, like getting drunk on ten wine coolers and falling asleep under a picnic table in the park.
Bartles & Jaymes coolers are in stores now. Find out where to buy yours here.

“Reliable.” That’s the keyword for trends this fashion month. After scanning fashion week photos from New York to Milan, we can confirm that the overarching theme for street style footwear trends this season is a return of the classics. Old faithfuls, if you will. The type of shoes that look good, feel good, and work with just about every kind of style. Some of this year’s shoe trends were popular in recent seasons, but there’s one style that we haven’t seen at the top of the fashion charts for quite some years. All of them are shoe styles that we can—and will—actually wear in our everyday lives this fall. Praise be!
