Polo Ralph Lauren Shopping Guide 2026: Lifelong Horsepower Guaranteed

Polo Ralph Lauren Shopping Guide 2026: Lifelong Horsepower Guaranteed

Published by Jenni Sidey

Ralph Lauren’s pioneering vision of American style includes several sub-labels, with the most iconic undoubtedly being the very first: Polo Ralph Lauren. What started in 1967 as a small venture selling wide-blade neck ties soon ballooned into one of the most successful brands in history, forever changing fashion and influencing legions of designers. Approaching 60 years in business, Polo has shored up unfathomable amounts of cultural capital, been the subject of countless trends, and produced more iconic pieces than just about every other brand out there. And somehow, even with such a gargantuan presence, Polo has also managed to maintain its reputation for meticulous attention to detail and long-lasting quality. (Just think about how many thrift stores carry Polo pieces, and how good those pieces still look today, even when they’re decades-old and totally washed out.) All this is to say that whether you’re a hardcore preppie, a ‘90s hip-hop fiend, a workwear obsessive, or simply anyone with a passing interest in style, Polo is for you. But if you’ve never shopped there before, it …

My Guaranteed Steps to Tell if a New Device Is a Flock Camera

My Guaranteed Steps to Tell if a New Device Is a Flock Camera

Published by skeptic

Not sure if a new installation is a Flock camera? Here’s how to tell.The Washington Post/Contributor/Getty As I’ve covered Flock Safety’s AI camera and license plate tracking technology, including cities choosing to cancel their surveillance contracts while others adopt even more, I’ve come across a common problem. Many people don’t actually know what a Flock camera looks like. That’s one reason I’m not the biggest fan of crowdsourced Flock-spotting apps like DeFlock, which make it a bit too easy to give conflicting information about what people think is a Flock camera. This led to so much confusion in my own city that the city council had to put out a bulletin explaining that local government no longer uses Flock cameras, and what people are seeing probably aren’t Flock cams in the first place. So, how do you know if you’re seeing a mounted Flock camera, or a traditional traffic cam, or a competitor camera, or just a new cam from a friendly neighbor? I’m rounding up the exact ways you can tell. Look for the …

Guaranteed Ways to Make Yourself Anxious

Guaranteed Ways to Make Yourself Anxious

Published by Jenni Sidey

You can find a lot of information about how to decrease your anxiety, but think about the things you accidentally do that guarantee your anxiety will worsen. I see my patients make consistent mistakes. Once you recognize them, you cannot unsee them. Focus on feeling peaceful instead of becoming competent in managing anxiety and panic anyplace, anywhere. Anxiety fools everyone into believing they are in terrible emotional or situational danger, even though they are not. No one can be in perfect control over when and how they feel anxious; a better goal is to become competent at living well even when anxious. Peace of mind can only be achieved once you know you can handle the worst-case scenario of anxiety without compromising your goals. For example, you continue to drive your children to their appointments despite fear of driving on busy roads, or you show up for a job interview and say what you need to say despite feeling panicked. Avoid people and situations you know will trigger anxiety or panic.Each time you avoid a …

Burnham Guaranteed To Be Next Prime Minister After Avalanche Of Support From Labour MPs

Burnham Guaranteed To Be Next Prime Minister After Avalanche Of Support From Labour MPs

Published by Sam Flores

Labour Party’s Andy Burnham delivers a speech at the People’s History Museum in Manchester, England, Monday, June 29, 2026.(AP Photo/Alastair Grant) Andy Burnham is guaranteed to be the next prime minister after 322 Labour MPs nominated him to take over from Keir Starmer. The huge level of support means that only 81 Labour MPs have not nominated him so far, the minimum needed to get on to the leadership ballot. But as Starmer is not expected to nominate anyone, it is impossible for anyone else to get the level of support required to mount a challenge. Burnham will therefore become Labour leader unopposed on July 17, and prime minister on July 20. In a post on X, the Makerfield MP said: “I am deeply grateful to the 322 Labour MPs who have put their trust in me and nominated me for leader of the Labour Party. “Their support comes from across the PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party) and reflects a shared belief that Britain needs a new approach to politics. That is the circuit breaker I …

5 Summer Date Night Outfits for Men Guaranteed to Impress in 2026

5 Summer Date Night Outfits for Men Guaranteed to Impress in 2026

Published by Jenni Sidey

So you’ve got a date. You ol’ dog, you—congrats! Figured out where you’re going and what you’re doing? Now comes the tricky part: what to wear. Date night outfits, whether you’ve locked in a coveted Saturday night reservation or planned a low-key night in, are pretty simple: they should help you look your best, all without looking like you tried too hard. If you’re at the starting line of the courtship, aim to look cool and put-together, but still like you. Comfortable, well-fitting basics that don’t shout tend to work best. Win them over with your personality and your jokes, not the big logos on your sweater. The key—even during these sweaty months—is to look like you’ve put in some real effort, without expecting your clothes to do the hard work for you. And, yes, the old adage holds up: People really do clock your shoes first, so make sure you’re not wearing anything totally cooked. Even in the summertime, one backup layer is always smart, too, in case things move from dinner to a …

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Irina Slav via OilPrice.com, Oil prices are tumbling as tankers stream out of the Strait of Hormuz, but most of that traffic is stranded vessels finally allowed to leave, not new supply heading in. Iran struck a commercial ship near Oman this week even as the 60-day U.S.-Iran ceasefire holds and markets keep pricing in a supply glut. The U.S. strategic petroleum reserve is at its lowest level in four decades, and China may resume buying once it stops selling off the cargoes it’s offloading now. Crude oil prices are in freefall after the United States and Iran agreed on a ceasefire, set to last 60 days. Traders expect the ceasefire to unleash an avalanche of crude, and indeed, tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf in growing numbers. And yet Iran just struck a commercial ship in Hormuz. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the ceasefire prompted huge discounts in available crude cargoes, noting how Angolan crude was selling at a $10 discount to dated Brent—for the first time in a decade. Not only this, but Chinese …

‘Year-round sunshine practically guaranteed’: Le Mourillon is Toulon’s cool, beachy quarter | France holidays

‘Year-round sunshine practically guaranteed’: Le Mourillon is Toulon’s cool, beachy quarter | France holidays

Published by Sam Flores

Why go now South of the city centre, Le Mourillon is Toulon’s characterful and unpretentious seaside quarter. Once a fishing village, Le Mourillon is home to little shops selling Provençal produce such as huge garlic bulbs and tomatoes in vibrant shades, alongside lively bars and restaurants. It’s not as glamorous or polished as the likes of Antibes or Saint-Tropez – you won’t find designer brands – but it’s all the more charming for that. The hilly, narrow streets wind down to Le Mourillon’s star attraction: its beaches. Widely recognised as the second sunniest city in France, Toulon practically guarantees year-round blue skies and sunshine. The clear, azure sea sparkles and the beaches are lined with restaurants and date palms. While cruise ships come and go from the city’s main port, Le Mourillon is far enough from the centre that you only see them in the distance, alongside sailing boats and fishing vessels. Where to eat and drink Eating and drinking is one of the main pastimes in the south of France, especially on Sundays when …

Why ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’ Should Be On Your Watchlist

Why ‘Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’ Should Be On Your Watchlist

Published by Jenni Sidey

Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed’s Paula (Tatiana Maslany) has a lot of the usual challenges single moms face. Her job is both demanding and underpaid. She doesn’t get as much time with her daughter as she would like, so she volunteers to coach her soccer team. Her ex and his new wife treat Paula like a speed bump on the road to their happy new life together. But Paula also has some problems that may be slightly outside the norm: her regular cam boy has apparently been attacked and kidnapped during one of their sessions, and now Paula’s being threatened with the release of compromising videos of her from their time together if Paula doesn’t pay his five-figure ransom. So yeah—Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, whose fourth episode premieres next week, blends comedy, drama, mystery, and even pulse-pounding youth sports action. Here are five more reasons why it should be on your watchlist. 1. It’s not puritanical about sex work.

Michigan Loves a ‘River Story.’ but Happy Ending Isn’t Guaranteed

Michigan Loves a ‘River Story.’ but Happy Ending Isn’t Guaranteed

Published by Sam Flores

Michigan may be known as the Great Lakes state, but most of its residents have a river to thank for their hometown’s existence. “Just looking at settlement patterns in Michigan tells us a lot about how important our rivers are,” said Lisa Dechano-Cook, a Western Michigan University geographer who co-wrote the book “ Kalamazoo River.” “You wanted to be near water, especially running water, so that you could get from place to place.” When combined, Michigan’s 76,000 miles of rivers, creeks and streams have a shoreline 46 times the length of Michigan’s Great Lakes coast. That means in most of the state, the nearest water body is more likely a river than one of those big lakes. Even some of the state’s most well-known inland lakes — from Oakland County’s Kent Lake to central Michigan’s Lake Ovid — are actually rivers that have been slowed, deepened and widened by dams. “I really don’t think (rivers)get the proper credit and thought,” said Melissa DeSimone, executive director of the Michigan Lakes and Streams Association. While Michigan’s rivers …
