So the book that “offers little more than amusing anecdotes” and rates a C- is also one of the 9 best possible gifts? I guess opinions change when you’re getting a cut of that $50 cover price.
I think the “C-” grade bubble came off the preview picture for the review when this post went up.
What’s funny about the Waystar Royco hat is it runs contrary to the Roys’ penchant for wearing conspicuously non-branded clothing. Both Logan and Kendall favor plain, black baseball caps, no logo, which is a thing I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen in the wild. I know there’s probably some IRL rights/brand issues that makes a black baseball cap much easier for a show to use than something with a Nike swoosh or a Yankees logo or whatever. But I also started wondering if this was some kind of narrative choice and even a “Rich Person” thing. I, not a Rich Person, hate logos on my clothes and I did have to specifically seek out a plain black wool beanie with no logo for my go-to headwear, but I don’t know where I’d go about finding a plain black baseball cap, or if the thought to find one would even occur to me. I’m also not a baseball cap person.
I don’t wear hats as much as I used to but when I did, one of my favorites was my all black Ravens fitted, from New Era, I think. Oddly I’d probably never consider a plain baseball cap like the Roys wear, but I loved that one. The logos were solid black, just a simple, comfortable look.
Twenty-five bucks for a baseball cap? It’s actually $29.95 on the website.

I think i misunderstood the article’s headline. I thought it would tell me if Samsung, LG or Sony had the better TV.
the sweater is $295.
