This Week, The Cut’s New Podcast Focuses on Toronto Mayoral Hopeful Faith Goldy’s Descent into White Nationalism

A few weeks ago, New York magazine’s The Cut launched its official podcast, The Cut on Tuesdays, bringing together “women’s voices on culture, style, sex, politics and people.” They’ve done three episodes so far: the first is about the relationship between women and power; the second about the once-anonymous Shitty Media Men list and the recent lawsuit levied against its creator; and the third is about someone very, very close to home: Faith Goldy.

In the 30-minute episode, Cut writer (and Toronto native) Anna Silman tries to figure out how her former high school classmate, Faith, became a white nationalist. Back in high school, Faith seemingly embodied every progressive character trait; she was a feminist; she supported gay rights; she protected classmates from bullying. “She wasn’t the person who walked by you and pretended not to see you. She saw me. She wasn’t like the other popular girls at school. She was kind to people outside her social circle,” remembers a former classmate.

So how did the kind, popular, helpful school prefect end up running a racist, right-wing campaign for mayor of Toronto? How did she end up working at The Rebel Media and appearing as a guest on a neo-Nazi podcast? How did she end up at the Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville?

Silman returned to Toronto to try to make sense of Faith’s strange political trajectory, interviewing dozens of old classmates who are horrified to see this new version of Faith, “because they remember someone very, very different.” Tune in to the podcast to hear the full story about Faith’s path to extremism, and keep an eye out for a larger feature The Cut promises is coming soon.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
