Life and Size
Size. It determines more about living things than nearly any other measurable factor. Kurzgesagt demonstrates this in most illustrative way possible — by throwning animals off of a tall building.

The National / Carin at the Liquor Store
The National has released a new video for "Carin at the Liquor Store" from their upcoming album Sleep Well the Beast.

Sleep Well the Beast is out September 8, 2017. Pre-order the record here.
More Animated Book Covers
Two years ago, Henning M. Lederer had an idea: What if all those abstract academic book covers you came across in the library had animated covers? Henning found another trove of material, and has set another series of covers in motion.

Trashie
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. That means your old T-shirt, depending on its condition, could end up going to someone in need or being broken down to create carpet padding or pet bed filling, among other things. 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.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Tech Pants
Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.

Kayaking Inside an Abandoned Ship
An easy kayak cruise turned into an epic adventure when a man found his way inside an abandoned ship. The spooking interior looks like it's been completely gutted or at least rotted away, and the sound of water dripping and lapping of the steel inside is almost creepy.

Velocity 1970 Ford F-100
Velocity's Street Series 1970 Ford F-100 is a bold reinvention of the classic truck, blending menacing street style with modern muscle. Cloaked in triple black, it sits low on staggered Forgeline alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Underneath, a Roadster Shop Spec Chassis, coilover suspension, and Baer brakes deliver razor-sharp handling, while a Gen III 5.0L Coyote V8 pushes 460 horsepower through a 10-speed automatic. On the interior, rich black Velocity Leather with white stitching, billet accents, and an Alpine touchscreen make the cabin as refined as the performance.

The Shins / Half A Million
The Shins latest video from their 2017 album Heatworms is a stop-motion affair — but not like any stop-motion you've ever seen. Made by LAMAR+NIK, the entire video was filmed on a white backdrop. Then, over 5,000 stickers were cut from almost 5,000 frames to create the animation.
