Satellites have become an indispensable part of our communications infrastructure. They've made global communications and research a reality, allowing us to communicate and learn about our planet in ways never thought possible.

Here's how a satellite gets to space, from ordering to design, building, and launch.
Director Austin Vesely takes a bite out of the horror genre for his first feature film. Backed by studio A24, the slasher stars Chance the Rapper and Deadpool 2's Zazie Beetz as a pair of delivery drivers who work for "a pretty shitty pizza place" that just happens to be built on a gateway to Hell. When their fellow drivers start getting sliced up, the two attempt to track down the culprit who may, or may not, be a werewolf. The film also stars some other familiar faces like Stranger Things's Joe Keery, Will Brill from The OA, and Paul Scheer as well as some pretty gnarly ghosts.

You probably know the exact region or even vineyard your wine comes from. But what about that cork in the bottle?

The delicate process begins in Portugal with a group of harvesters that have been keeping the tradition alive for generations.

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.
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.
