Looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. Think back to the last time you wore truly bangin’ clothes — how did they make you feel? Did you feel more confident? Did you feel like you could walk into any room and immediately start ordering people around? “Hey you — set up a meeting with HR. And you — get Tokyo on the phone. I don’t care that this is a KFC, get it done.”

Here at The Manual, we like clothes that make us feel good, and not just in terms of confidence. Considering the substantial environmental and social impact of the global garment industry, we think it’s important to rock threads that help lessen said impact. Uniforms for the Dedicated, a Swedish menswear brand dedicated to sustainable innovations, makes clothes that inspire all sorts of good feelings.

Amazon’s early Black Friday sale has a 50-inch 4K TV for $200

With Black Friday slowly rolling on us, there are many great early Black Friday deals you can take advantage of, such as this North Face Black Friday sale on outdoor stuff or this Tumi Black Friday sale on wallets, bags, and suitcases. One of the things that's great to grab during Black Friday and Cyber Monday is electronics, and that's why we're already seeing great sales on things like TVs. Take, for example, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal from Amazon, which knocks $100 off the original price to bring it down to just $200, which is a steal.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch Class F30 Series
One thing that's great about the F30 Series from Insignia is that it's very budget-friendly, especially since the brand was created under the premise of being budget-oriented but still provides great features. That's how you can get a 50-inch TV that gives you 4k resolution. The whole thing is also built on the Fire TV platform, so if you're in the Amazon ecosystem, this is perfect, and if you aren't, then you still get access to all the apps you'd expect on any other major smart TV platform. You might also be surprised to hear that the F30 Series supports HDR10, one of the better HDR standards, and that means you'll get excellent contrast and image quality compared to a traditional TV without HDR.

Report: Disney Plus is moving away from Marvel limited series TV shows (but that’s a good thing for fans)

We might actually get multiple seasons now

After more than a decade of dominating on the big screen, Marvel started to spend a much greater percentage of its time focusing on creating TV series. That change happened with the launch of Disney Plus, and has resulted in a glut of streaming series set in various corners of the MCU. While many of those shows have been solid, and a few have been great, recent news suggests that Marvel may be reevaluating their relationship with Disney Plus shows.

Up until now, almost every single Marvel show was at least initially conceived as a limited series. Marvel shows like Hawkeye and Moon Knight were conceived of as one-and-dones, and only Loki has thus far received a second season. Now following the news that Daredevil: Born Again was getting a hard rework from Marvel, we also learned that Marvel's whole approach to limited series may be changing.
