It’s officially hot. Not just any hot, either. I’m talking the blistering, humid kind of hot that not even high-tech neck fans or cranked-up subway AC can save you from. This kind of weather causes all manner of serious issues (skin damage, heat stroke, sweat stains), but today we’re talking about one problem in particular: figuring out how the hell to get dressed without looking like a total beach rat and feeling like a soggy mess.

Bhutan exudes tranquility. Even the international airport, your first impression of the country, has a charming aesthetic that makes it look like an ancient monastery. With roughly three quarters of its land remaining tree covered, Bhutan is considered the first, and one of just two or three, carbon-negative countries in the world. It’s known for idyllic wilderness, with a backdrop of the Himalayas, along with its idyllic way of life, with its many Buddhist monasteries.

The world’s largest annual sporting event is taking place right now. No, it’s not the World Cup. As a newly minted soccer — excuse me, football — fan, you of course know that. “Annual” is the operative word here, and the World Cup ain’t annual. That honor goes to the Tour de France, cycling’s premier three-week race that takes place every July.

It began with jealousy. My sister-in-law, who, it pains me to say, is an influencer, keeps getting invited to run the New York City Marathon. At 36, I’ve been a runner for 20 years, and running 26.2 across the Big Apple has always been my white whale. Except it’s notoriously difficult to get into, and no one’s inviting me. Fine. I’m also nowhere near fit enough to run a decent marathon time right now. One day, though, I decided to enter the lottery for some interesting halfs and go from there.

New men’s grooming brands launch all the time, but who has the bandwidth to decipher buzzwords and newfangled ingredients to find the soaps, creams and scents that are actually worth adding to your routine? We do, which is why we’ve put together this column, The Best Grooming Brands to Know Now.

Time confetti sounds fun, like the sort of thing we should want more of. But the time-use research term, coined by the author Brigid Schulte, refers to our collective tendency to “shred” time into pieces. Give us an hour, and we’ll put it through the Fargo wood chipper — two minutes to answer this email, three to scroll through this X spat, five to finish reading this article, etc. That’s 17% of an hour up in smoke, and it’s rare that those mini-blocks play out sequentially.

It’s common for New Yorkers to refer to the first Sunday in November as “one of the best days of the year.” That’s the day the New York City Marathon comes to town. The weather’s generally pretty good, the race brings all its yearly traditions and donations (fundraising around $50 million), and for hours on end, adults stand on street corners to cheer on friends and strangers alike.
