The leading cause of death is being alive. Our bodies are full of zombies — senescent cells that refuse to die when they should. As these cells accumulate, they wreak havoc on healthy cells around them — and making us age in the process. Kurzgesagt looks at how scientists are looking at reversing aging as a means to keep us healthier for longer.

For Issue 02, we flew down to Cuba to do some long-awaited exploring, gathering all of the cigars and rum the island has to offer. We then returned stateside and dug up even more. In Southern California, we visited the garage-oasis of Mercedes Motoring and obsessed over their immaculate collection of classic Benzes.

Before Space Jam, there was Hare Jordan. In September 1991, photographer Roxanne McCann was on set in Los Angeles when Nike filmed the Super Bowl XXVI commercial that first put Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny in the same frame, planting the seed for one of the most beloved sports films ever made. The ad cost nearly $1 million to produce and required 3,000 hand-drawn illustrations by 25 artists. Jordan's agent David Falk saw the reaction and pushed Warner Bros. to take it further, pitching a feature film with no script and no story. The result earned $250 million at the box office and $1.2 billion in merchandise. The shot captures Jordan at the height of his powers, fresh off his first NBA championship and two seasons into the dynasty that would define a generation. Now available as a limited edition of 495 numbered prints, with the story behind the photograph on the reverse.
Fishwife's albacore tuna is paired with cold-pressed lemon juice from Spain's Mediterranean coast, packed by hand in 100% Spanish olive oil at a traditional cannery founded in 1869.

Each 3.2-ounce BPA-free tin delivers 17 grams of protein, and the bright, citrus-forward flavor works as well straight from the can as it does stirred into pasta, layered over a salad nicoise, or piled onto a sandwich. Sold in a 3-pack.

In today's Hollywood, nothing is real anymore. Even the simplest locations are now created with CGI. This means sets are full of green screens and extras in funny-looking dinosaur hats.
