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.

Rock, Paper, Lizards
Dating isn't easy — just ask the male side-blotched lizard. These small lizards come in three colors — orange, yellow, and blue — and each color has it's own distinctive style for finding a mate. But to keep the one color from taking over, the females tend to prefer the rarest of the three colors of males.
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping Trailer
You might sit at home — or in the office, or on the subway — and wonder to yourself what it would be like to be a pop music icon. Unfortunately, his film isn't going to get you any closer to that realization. It will, however, probably set a new record for cameo appearances in one movie.

Louis C.K. Plays Jeopardy!
Louis C.K. is a comedic genius — and a pretty smart guy too. On stage with Alex Trebek, Louis pretty much wrecked Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jonathan Capeheart and CNN anchor Kate Bolduan on his way to winning $50,000 for the Fistula Foundation.
Everything is a Remix: The Force Awakens
Kirby Ferguson strikes again with a new installment in his Everything is a Remix series. He applies the remix method of copying, transforming and combining to some of JJ Abrams' earlier works and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Although the movie was heavily inspired by the original trilogy we all loved, did the use of remixing weaken the film or was it the perfect balance of familiar and novel?

London Sock Co. Retro Striped Socks

Knitted from a soft organic cotton blend with a comfortable ribbed construction, the mid-calf socks strike the balance between nostalgic sport styling and modern versatility.

Produced using carbon-free manufacturing and hand-finished for a refined feel, the Retro Stripe Collection is the finishing touch to a great outfit.

Salt & Stone Natural Skincare Collection
Salt & Stone occupies the increasingly rare space where performance body care and luxury fragrance genuinely overlap. Founded in Los Angeles by former professional snowboarder Nima Jalali, the brand was born from years spent battling sun, wind, cold, and altitude, resulting in a collection of body-care essentials designed to work as hard as they smell good. Its formulas combine naturally derived actives from the sea and mountains with sophisticated, gender-neutral scent profiles that extend across deodorants, body washes, lotions, oils, creams, and mists, creating a layered ritual rather than a collection of standalone products. Signature fragrances like Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki, and Black Rose & Oud feel more akin to niche perfumery than traditional grooming products, while ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, seaweed extracts, spirulina, and prebiotics keep the focus firmly on skin health. The result is a brand that treats daily body care less like maintenance and more like a sensory ritual built for people who demand equal parts wellness, performance, and scent.
