I Was Addicted to Hair Transplant Consultations In college I developed an extreme body dysmorphia around my hairline. It took countless transplant consultationsโ€”and public confessionsโ€”to come out the other side.

for my GQ debut, I wrote about my strange addiction to complimentary hair transplant consultations, and how I finally quit it cold turkeyโ€ฆ by going to Turkey www.gq.com/story/i-was-...

Congressional Candidate Kat Abugazaleh: โ€˜They Picked the Wrong Girl to Indictโ€™ The 26-year-old is facing up to 15 years in federal prison after protesting ICE in her home city.

Last spring, @katmabu.bsky.social launched a campaign with a simple message. โ€œDemocrats need to grow a spine.โ€ Seven months later, sheโ€™s facing 15 years for protesting ICE and Trump. And she's not backing down. Takes more than spine: www.gq.com/story/kat-ab... @gqmagazine.bsky.social

TrueAnon Saw How Twisted Politics Were About to Get. Hereโ€™s What They Say Is Coming Next โ€œEverything weโ€™ve covered is coming to a head with the Trump administration in a very weird way,โ€ says Liz Franczak, one third of the cult podcast.

TrueAnon hasnโ€™t used the podcast to aggressively support a political candidate, not even Zohran Mamdani. "Thereโ€™s a long trend of politicians moderating as things change," says Belden. "He is already a fairly moderate leftwing guy. Itโ€™s tough to be mayor." www.gq.com/story/truean...

Nothing Looks Cooler Than Not Caring Youโ€™re Balding In a polarized culture that demands balding men pick a side, opting for the follicular middle ground is a refreshing act of honesty.

I was asked by @gqmagazine.bsky.social to write a little bit about just going bald in the age of widespread head-shaving and affordable, believable hair transplants...so I did!

Why Are Gun Suicides Soaring Among Older American Men? More and more older Americans are dying by gun suicideโ€”especially white men, whose rates far outpace other groups, a new analysis from The Trace and GQ reveals. โ€œHe maybe didn't know how to tell us that things were getting to be too much for him,โ€ says one family member. โ€œI think my brother was in a lot of pain.โ€

The Quiet Crisis: Whatโ€™s Driving Gun Suicides Among Older Americans? More and more older Americans are dying by firearm suicide, a new analysis from The Trace and GQ reveals. Older white men and those in rural areas experience alarmingly high rates.

Older Americans have the highest rates of gun suicide of any age group. Not by a little โ€” by a lot.

Why? I spent months exploring this question through data, field reporting, and interviews with experts. Our story is up today on @thetrace.org

Thankfully, the hegemony of Clown Couture seems to have relaxed a bit. On the rack of public opinion, there is now a tiny sliver of space for the Regular Millennial Guy Look. I don't have to dress like an asshole anymore. What was passรฉ just a few years ago is now vintage-evergreen menswear vocabulary. Whatever the reason for this, dayenu. It's starting to feel like the good old days again, back when we wore clothes and not the reverse. Back when we could walk around downtown without tiny children popping out with tiny microphones asking us how much our outfits cost. Back when genies were happy living in bottles.

Can Kat Abughazaleh Help Democrats Grow a Spine? Sheโ€™s a lefty 26-year-old internet star. Her primary opponent is 80 and has held office since 1999. Inside a race for Congress that could help revive a doddering Democratic Party.

Last month, Kat Abughazaleh, 26, announced she would challenge Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky, 80, in next year's Democratic primary.

Politico now reports that Schakowsky plans to retire.
