One of Miyazaki's recurring themes is the airship — from delicate and small to massive and impossible, they capture a bygone age that never really existed.
Joker is already being hailed as one of the best films of the year. One of the most memorable scenes is when Arthur Fleck creepily dances in the bathroom as fluorescent lights flicker around.

Don't let its traditional weekender shape fool you — Lundi's Remington bag has more organization features than most carry-on options. The exterior is crafted primarily from water-repellent grey oiled cotton canvas, with supple cognac vegetable-tanned leather reinforcements and accents. Inside there's 46 liters of space, Alcantara and polyester lining, a dedicated laptop pocket, multiple pockets for smaller items, and a leather strap with a carabiner clip for keys. Two separate outside pockets store shoes and/or toiletries while a flat pocket provides quick access to a passport or ID. YKK metal zippers secure the interior, and the removable shoulder strap connects via four buckles for maximum stability when rushing through the terminal.
Puffer jackets are warm. Filled with too much insulation, though, and they become more "puff" than "jacket". The Davos from Collars & Co. uses a clever build to maintain a sleek look. Its hood removes in seconds, taking the jacket from full coverage to a form more fitting for a night out. Lightweight poly-fill insulation provides plenty of warmth; tactical stitching and smartly placed pockets complete the package.

Trashie's Take Back Bag is the easiest way to get rid of clothing and other textiles you do not need anymore. Simply buy a bag (or a bundle of them) fill it up, mail it back, and Trashie will ensure those items never make it to landfills, rerouting them to third-party retailers Trashie individually vets for compatibility.

You earn exactly $30 in TrashieCash for each bag you send back, which you can redeem for deals — direct cash equivalent or a certain percentage off — to buy yourself new things from your favorite brands.
