This is old about Playboy mag’s decline and revival but new to me and therefore…
Tasteful, via commenter rhhardin, I guess, is a side shot of pubic hair. Or, via Laslo Spatula, the immortal nude cleft. Leave the gaping, reddish wide, to porn.

“The failure to file as a lobbyist for Turkey under the Foreign Agents Registration Act hardly makes Flynn the modern-day equivalent of Benedict Arnold” as District Judge Sullivan incredibly implied.
“It makes him the Republican version of Tony Podesta, who is enjoying his retirement in his home in the upscale Kalomara neighborhood of Washington a few doors down from the former President Obama and his family.”
But Flynn took the lying-to-the-fbi charge deal—apparently concluded before the Turkey stuffings came out—and was sentenced to three more months of futzing with Herr Oberstrumfuhrer Mueller.

“In a life touched by tragedy, Rona Ramon, wife of Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, was determined to choose life – and to help others cope with grief and sorrow as well. Rona died from pancreatic cancer on December 17, 2018 at the age of 54, but her legacy of hope and resilience endures.”

“I get it that a lot of our readers didn’t like the Standard for its resolute anti-Trump position. They would have been better served had they emulated the Wall Street Journal editorial page, which I think has found the sweet spot of praising and defending Trump when he deserves it, and criticizing him for his manifest defects—sometimes in the same editorial or op-ed column.”
I ignored the anti-Trumpism in favor of the book reviews and features and I’ll miss the magazine.

“Socialist dictator Hugo Chavez initially ran a months-long amnesty program encouraging Venezuelans to trade their arms for electrical goods. That year, there were only 37 recorded voluntary gun surrenders, while the majority of seizures – more than 12,500 – were by force.”
Now, as Venezuelans flee and the state crumbles, no arms are legally obtainable.
“A former gun store owner inside Venezuela – who told Fox News he has now been relegated to only selling fishing supplies since the ban – said he can’t sell any type of weaponry – even a slingshot – and underscored that even BB ammunition and airsoft guns are only issued to police and military officers. The punishment for illicit carrying or selling a weapon now is 20 years behind bars.”

“Dems love a Kennedy. Beto might not have the pedigree, but he has the requisite driving skills.”—Jim Treacher
And he can lie with the best of them.
Treacher: “That might be why some have described Beto as ‘the white Obama.’ Which is an insult. To Obama.”
