They say you can't judge a book by its cover — unless it's a work of science fiction with one of those excellent cover paintings that screams to be read. Sci-fi book covers are some of the best art you can get your hands on, with the added bonus of getting a book too — oftentimes for a dollar and change. The Nerdwriter dives into the history of the sci-fi cover and how it became one of the strangest, most accessible places for artwork in the world.
The I Heart NY symbol is almost as iconic as the city itself. Designed in 1977 by Milton Glaser, the symbol was first created as an advertising campaign for the city. The campaign turned into the state's trademark logo and can still be seen in every souvenir shop 40 years later. This short film sheds light on the man behind the design and shares how his own relationship with the city inspired his now infamous graphic.
Born on the gridiron, reborn for the streets — the Nike Field General returns, reshaped for a new era. Once worn by quarterbacks calling shots under Friday night lights, this latest drop revives that same fearless spirit in a silhouette built for city grit. Cloaked entirely in supple leather, the cacao-toned upper delivers a refined take on vintage toughness, while the Waffle sole keeps its '80s roots alive with every step. A padded collar, full cupsole stitch, and foam midsole lock in comfort and durability, making this a sneaker that doesn't just honor history—it commands it.
Once built for the indoor pitch and later claimed by skaters and streetwear purists, the Nike Gato has always thrived where precision meets style. First launched as the Nike5 Gato Street in 2010, this low-profile silhouette combined premium leather, suede, and embossed detailing with functional grip and XDR rubber — crafted for those who play fast and live faster. Now reborn for the modern city grid, the Gato returns with breezy textile underlays for breathability, a soft foam midsole, and that unmistakable gum sole grip. It's not just a comeback — it's a crossover. This revival is for those who look to the past and gain more traction for the future.

The country is divided. Families split down the middle. All over one thing — yanny or laurel. The audio illusion is driving the internet crazy but luckily science is here to save us.

AsapSCIENCE breaks down the entire phenomenon in under three minutes while Neuroscientist Tyler Perrachione also weighs in.
Velasca's Filòm Loafers fit like a glove — and that's no play on words. Made from the innermost layer of leather and buffed to give them their signature velvety texture, these suede shoes are washed with pumice stone for a lived-in look and feel, and hand-constructed using a tubular construction and sewn together by an internal seam called a Blake stitch, which helps the shoe flex with the natural flexing of your feet. A bit Ivy and inherently Italian, the shape references traditional college-style loafers, which were low-cut with a 'biscotto' shape. Now, they're a democratic everyman silhouette — but this iteration is for those with a keen sense of style and an eye for quality craftsmanship.

Legendary puppeteer Frank Oz signed on to play Yoda in Star Wars, but when a prior commitment forced him to leave filming early, he hand-picked his successor: Dave Barclay. At 19 years old, Barclay picked up right where Oz left off, and the transition was seamless — so seamless that it helped launch the career of Barclay, who would go on to play Jabba the Hut and various Muppets.
