Deadpool was a surprising bit of comedic genius in the superhero movie genre. As well as the jokes landed in the film, some of the even better bits were in the outtakes. This reel shows some of the best of Deadpool that didn't make it to a theater near you.
The Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 continues the march toward fully autonomous floor care, combining powerful vacuuming with an equally capable mopping system in a package designed to require as little human intervention as possible. Its 25,000Pa Vormax suction, driven by a sixth-generation TurboForce motor, tackles everything from fine dust to pet hair and cat litter, while DuoScrub mopping and extendable SideReach and MopExtend technologies ensure corners, edges, and tight spaces don't get overlooked. The real centerpiece, however, is the multifunctional PowerDock, which automatically empties debris, cleans the mops, and uses hot-air drying to keep the system fresh between runs. Intelligent carpet handling, off-peak charging, and enough battery life to clean large homes in a single session round out a robot designed to do more than maintain floors. It aims to eliminate cleaning chores altogether, especially for busy households and pet owners.

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.

Science Fiction loves books. From A Clockwork Orange to Children of Men and Blade Runner, some of the best sci-fi movies all had their origins on the page. And getting from the page to the screen means adapting the work for a completely different medium. Lessons from the Screenplay looks at how Arrival was smartly adapted from "Stories of Your Life" by Ted Chiang, and how the best science fiction is a reflection of humanity itself — not beings from another galaxy.
If there was an award for posters sold, the Lamborghini Countach would be the winner. The unmistakable shape adorned a million walls, and here was hardly a kid in the 80s and 90s that didn't lust after the most unobtainable of automobiles. DRIVE looks back at one of the most iconic cars ever produced, and how one man achieved his childhood dream.
Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.

Director David Fincher isn't known for CGI and other visual effects. The filmmaker is known for having some of the best characters to grace the screen — not using more CGI shots in a film than Godzilla, in ways that are nearly invisible to the viewer. Which is what makes Fincher one of the best users of effects: They're so seamless you don't even notice they're there.
It took billions of years to get you here, right now. As it stands, we humans are the pinnacle of evolution — which is kind of depressing, depending on how you look at it. AsapScience looks at what it took to get from a molten piece of rock orbiting a star to watching videos on the internet.
