   How to Be a Man (Lessons from the Stoics)Ten years ago, a creative director handed us a hardcover copy of The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday. Stoicism has been on our radar ever since. The more we learn, the more we want to learn. It’s one of those rabbit holes. So fair warning—watching this “How to Be a Man” video by Mr. Holiday might quietly transform you into a lifelong student of stoicism. There are worse things to become.  There’s Only One Place You Can Get This Knife, and We Found It[Partner] Ever heard of the Benchmade 940 Osborne AXIS Lock Knife? Neither had we. Until we discovered it exclusively at Blade HQ. Rugged enough for weekend adventures, sleek enough for everyday carry, it slices through any situation. The M4 steel blade delivers unmatched toughness and edge retention, while the natural G10 handle is lightweight, moisture-resistant, and just freaking cool with its translucent finish. We’re obsessed, and we’re pretty sure you will be too. Plus, Blade HQ’s Benchmade collection is packed with other standouts worth a look. Start with the 940 Osborne. Stay for the rest. Getting Lost in NYC with Iconic Photographer Phil PenmanWe’ve always loved hanging out with photographers. They’re like us. Observers, see-ers of life. They translate the world into images; we use words. They stress over ISO levels and F-stops. We stress over dangling modifiers and the proper use of “whom.” Get lost with a photog. It’s (more) fun (than getting lost in grammar).  How Lobsters Went from Prison Food to the Most Expensive MealAt our ELEVATOR holiday get-together this weekend, the vibes were impeccable, as you’d expect. Conversations ran the gamut. From retirement home documentaries to how lobster went from literal prison food to haute cuisine. Answers on the latter.  ‘You Don’t Know What It’s Like Till You Lose a Parent’: Sedaris Siblings Share Their Grief StoryThe day after Christmas, we shared an interview with Amy Sedaris about why all her stuff has holes in it. Answer: Her rabbit. Tragically, the rabbit died. Judging by Amy’s shirt in this interview, the holes have lived on, though. Death, grief, it’s not fun to talk about. We know. But it kind of is when David and Amy Sedaris are talking about it. Throwback  What Dinosaurs Were Really LikeThese ancient beasts were actually quite civil. Several held tea parties in high afternoons, vests on, ascots tied just so. Pinky talons out and all. Kidding, of course. What were they really like? To answer that, we need help. We need an expert.  The MixerAll of the best stargazing events in 2025. The difference between an American Pale Ale and an IPA. Debunking the biggest myths about Scotch whisky. The new vocabulary of nonalcoholic drinks. On finding adventure🔺 in your own backyard. The most expensive U.S. homes that sold in 2024. ’80s men’s fashion trends that are making a comeback. Time travel for your wrist: vintage cool meets modern edge.* *Partner  /GTFO  @norrisniman | Siglufjörður  Our Gentleman's Agreement Love Elevator?
