The Museum of Your Childhood
All those toys you lost when you were a kid ended up at the Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. Part of the Strong Museum, the Museum of Play has over 500,000 toys spanning the history of American kids. If you can't find it here, it probably didn't exist.
Back to School Sandwich
Summer is over, fall is almost here, and that means school is back in session. And if you're going to go to school, you're going to need a proper sandwich in your lunch bag. Babish has the perfect recipe: Rodney Dangerfield's ridiculous monstrosity from the 1986's Back to School.

Thrive Market
Summer tends to compress family life into a constant rotation of drop-offs, pick-ups, road trips, and weekend tournaments, and Thrive Market positions itself as the quiet infrastructure behind it all. The members-only marketplace focuses on bulk, better-for-you essentials that make it easier to stay stocked without the last-minute scramble, from organic granola bars and nut butter pouches to clean-ingredient jerky, allergen-friendly snacks, and hydration drinks built for on-the-go days. With delivery handled ahead of the week's chaos, parents can build out camp lunch boxes, activity bags, and travel coolers that actually align with what kids will eat, while still sticking to clean-label standards and family-friendly pricing. It is less about reinventing the pantry and more about removing friction from the moments when convenience usually wins by default, especially during the busiest stretch of summer.

Waterslide BASE Jump
Nothing says summer like waterslides. Nothing says adventure quite like BASE jumping. Now put the two together. Stuntman Marshall Milller and a few friends filmed their exploits in the Utah desert for some late-summer fun.

Zombies and the Copyright Apocalypse
When George Romero's Night of the Living Dead launched the zombie revolution, one important thing was missing: The copyright information on the film's title card. Under then-current law, the film entered into the public domain and was free for anyone use or directly lift — and that's how zombies became a billion-dollar industry. Unlike Universal with their lockdown on monsters like Frankenstein, anyone can make a zombie flick — making the genre one of the most popular choices for aspiring filmmakers worldwide.
The Color of Game of Thrones
Winter is coming. If fact, it's already here, and the color palette of Game of Thrones has changed with the seasons. Vox broke down the colors of every episode of every season and analyzed them to see how the change — and just like winter, the show is getting darker all the time.

Rocket Money App
Most budgets fail for a simple reason: people are making decisions without a clear picture of where their money is actually going. Rocket Money aims to solve that problem by consolidating accounts, spending activity, recurring bills, and subscriptions into a single dashboard that turns financial guesswork into actionable insight. The platform automatically categorizes transactions, highlights spending trends, and helps users build realistic budgets that adapt to everyday life, whether managing a household, splitting costs with roommates, or tracking personal expenses. Its standout feature remains subscription management, surfacing forgotten recurring charges and allowing users to cancel unwanted services directly through the app. Combined with real-time alerts for unusual spending, upcoming bills, and budget progress, Rocket Money feels less like a spreadsheet replacement and more like a financial control center designed to help users spend more intentionally and keep more of what they earn.

Mr. Robot / Season 3
Something is coming to the USA, says the creepy, oddly poetic voiceover in the trailer for the third season of Mr. Robot. What exactly that is is anyone's guess, but a few flashes of a new character, the return of an old one, and plenty of fsociety masks mean that the fallout will continue. Mr. Robot returns October 11, 2017.
