Who's looking down on Martin Scorsese? The long shot, the pan, the closeup — they're all there in the films of director Martin Scorsese. And so is the top-down shot. The view of birds, angels, aliens, gods — everyone wants to see what his characters are doing.
It's the pinnacle of evolution — the human hand. It can feel, manipulate, express, and even speak. In a very real sense, hands are what make us human. This short film by Gioacchino Petronicce is an homage to the humble hand, and the inspiration it brings us.
This is as close as you can get to a real-life Ghostbusters proton pack. Smarter Every Day got together with Cameron Prince and his Tesla gun, a self-contained unit that turns a Tesla coil into a point and shoot electricity geyser. Of course, the natural thing to do is capture the electrical arc in slow-motion.
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.
Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.
Parts and Labor's Matty Matheson is always good for a laugh and a profanity filled how-to. For Bon Appétit, he tones down the vulgar to give his tips and tricks for food ranging from A-Z. Though it really just turns into his personal opinions of food from A-Z, it's still entertaining nonetheless.
It might look like baby steps, but for robotics, it's a giant leap. Boston Dynamics shows their Atlas robot walking over uneven ground with small footholds — something almost comical to watch compared to the ease with which a human could perform the same feat. But while Atlas might be slow now, this small step puts humanoid robots even closer to an every-day reality.
Written by James Gunn, employees are forced to turn on each other after an unknown voice informs them they have to start taking out their coworkers. Sort of a Saw meets The Office, but without those deadpan confessionals. We've got our money on Merle. He survived most of the zombie apocalypse with only one arm, so knocking out some corporate yuppies should be nothing. Starring John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, John C. McGinley, and Michael Rooker, the film's slated for release March 17, 2017.
Off the coast of Greece, the Fourni archipelago is a haven for ancient shipwrecks. In an area of sea just over 17 miles, 45 shipwrecks have been found, with a wealth of artifacts that give an insight into the seafaring lives of the ancient Greeks. Philippe Cousteau digs into the waters around the Fourni archipelago and how it's discoveries are shaping our view of ancient Greek life.
Duke Cannon's Father's Day lineup leans into the brand's familiar formula of oversized grooming essentials, military-inspired packaging, and unapologetically rugged scent profiles, but beneath the tongue-in-cheek attitude sits a genuinely practical collection of daily-use upgrades. The gift guide ranges from heavyweight Big Ass Bricks of Soap and bourbon-forward beard care to colognes, tactical shower bundles, and shave kits built for dads who prefer utility over luxury-brand vanity. Everything arrives wrapped in Duke Cannon's signature blue-collar aesthetic, balancing humor with legitimately solid formulations made for hard-working skin, dry hands, and low-maintenance routines. It is less about reinventing grooming and more about turning everyday basics into something that feels giftable, durable, and distinctly masculine.
Augustinus Bader's The Retinol Serum rethinks traditional retinol treatments with a formula designed to deliver visible skin renewal without the irritation that often comes with high-performance vitamin A products. Powered by the brand's proprietary TFC8 technology alongside pure retinol, the lightweight serum targets fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, blemishes, and hyperpigmentation while supporting hydration and overall skin balance. The result is a more refined approach to retinol, one engineered to improve clarity, firmness, and smoothness without compromising the skin barrier in the process.
NTDs are the new Black Plague. They can weaken, maim, blind, disfigure, and kill — all of which costs society financially as well as resourcefully. Kurzgesagt explains the war between humans and parasites, how we're fighting it, and who's winning the battle.
