If you grew up in the 90s, you know about the Lo. Ralph Lauren's Polo brand was ubiquitous — jeans, shirts, sweaters, hoodies. You couldn't take a step anywhere almost in America without seeing the polo player logo looking back at you. So how did a designer brand go from Fith Avenue to America at large? The Lo Lifes. This New York City boosting gang made a logo into a culture. Watch how it happened in this short documentary narrated by one of the gang's founders.
It's the 80s undercover operation you've never heard — the attempt to take down Pablo Escobar with a Pablo Escobar look-alike. Needless to say, it didn't go well. This bad lip reading presents an alternate, and far less successful, take on the Netflix series Narcos.
Guided by the philosophy of Colin Chapman—"simplify, then add lightness"—Nike strips back the design with the Ava X. The silhouette focuses on weight reduction without sacrificing structure, pairing a textile upper with synthetic leather overlays for durability. Underfoot, a Cushion 3.0 midsole provides responsive cushioning, while a high-abrasion outsole adds grip across varied conditions. The result is a lightweight trainer built with a more streamlined, functional approach.

Born from a waffle iron experiment by Bill Bowerman, Nike's Waffle Racer returns with updated materials and a modern build. Originally released as the "Moon Shoe," the silhouette keeps its low-profile, track-inspired design while swapping in knit and suede uppers across new 2026 colorways. A foam midsole adds everyday comfort, while the signature waffle outsole delivers the same traction that defined the original. The result is a retro runner that balances heritage design with easy wearability.

It's one of the most popular works of fiction in American literature and spawned one of the best films of all time. But is Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird really that good? Maybe not. Vox states the case for this American classic not being all that classic.
It's a view of the Earth's just as mesmerizing as the view from outer space. Shot from aboard a massive container ship, this timelapse combines 80,000 photos over a 30 voyage across the Pacific Ocean and three of the business ports in the world, keeping the global supply chain connected.

Elevators are strange places. A previously unreleased recording, "Lift" is featured on the 20th anniversary OK Computer retrospective OKNOTOK.
Prescription weight loss is becoming part of a broader wellness system, and WeightWatchers is integrating it directly into its platform with access to the Wegovy pill through its clinical program.

Rather than replacing lifestyle change, the program is designed to work alongside it, helping manage appetite while reinforcing healthier routines. The result is a more modern approach to weight management that blends medication, accountability, and long-term habit building into a single, guided experience.

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.

Mechs: They aren't just for animes and video games anymore. Yang Jin-Ho is the chairman of Hankook Mirae Technology, a company focused on robotics. And they're focused on big robotics, creating a fully-articulated mech, piloted by a human. Translogic went to South Korea to take a test drive in something straight out of science fiction.
Living on top of the world does strange things to people — just as the residents of Longyearbyen, the northernmost city on Earth. You don't want to be buried in Longyearbyen. The permafrost makes for shallow graves, and bodies sometimes come back up again. And as the Earth warms, the thawing permafrost is wreaking havoc, causing the Global Seed Vault to flood, and potentially releasing ancient pathogens into the atmosphere.
