Trainspotting 2

Brixton Board Shorts Collection
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.

Storytelling in Back to the Future
A coherent time-traveling adventure with a dozen characters, most of whom are in both timelines, enough science to be convincing but not overwhelming, and top it off with an upbeat pace and lots of humor. Not only is that a recipe for a great movie, but Back to the Future pulls it off perfectly. Cinema is littered with bad films that told much simpler stories and strove for far less ambitious goals. This video essay looks at the bedrock of Back to the Future's success and what so many other films seem to overlook — solid storytelling.
Piper
Pixar doesn't only create amazing feature films, but they're also able to tell some pretty incredible stories in a short amount of time. Take for instance their latest project Piper, the accompanying short to Finding Dory. Starring a hungry little sandpiper, the tiny hatchling braves new territory, faces a terrifying mishap, and comes out a better bird — all in under six minutes.

Terraforming a Second Earth
It might be about time to trade in this old Earth for a newer model. There are a few good candidates that are relatively close, with Mars and Venus having the best base to start from. But terraforming a planet isn't easy, takes a long time, and — oh yeah — it's never been done. While dreaming of moving an entire civilization to another planet might sound neat, starting here on Earth might be a little more realistic.
The First Human on Mars
Alyssa Carson is 15 years old. In 15 years, NASA wants to land the first manned mission to the Red Planet. Alyssa could very well be part of that historic crew of astronauts. Skipping the being a kid part of being a kid, Alyssa is all-in for training to be a part of NASA's Mars team, having spent her entire short life up to this point to put a boot in some red dust millions of miles away.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5
The modern sneaker rotation demands versatility. One day starts with a flight across the country, the next with a coffee stop across town. The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 thrives in both worlds, combining the technical complexity of an early-2000s running shoe with the understated versatility of an everyday staple. Layered mesh, synthetic suede, and plastic accents create a distinctive honeycomb-like look, while Zoom Air cushioning and a foam midsole provide comfort for long days on your feet. Originally built for performance, the Vomero 5 has become one of Nike's most adaptable silhouettes equally comfortable navigating airport terminals, city streets, and everything in between.

If Congress Was Your Coworker
To demonstrate just how ridiculous our congress really is, Christ Pine imagines they're a part of your workforce. Like Congress, Leonard is greedy, whiney, and self-serving. The good news is, we don't have to put up with it anymore. All you have to do is vote.
I Ate All Your Halloween Candy 2016
Jimmy Kimmel's annual terrible parents contest goes on without a hitch for the sixth year in a row. The day after trick-or-treat, moms and dads tell their kids they've eaten all of their Halloween candy while they were sleeping. Even Jimmy himself joined in on the torture. Most of the little brats scream and kick, but there's always a few that remind us maybe kids aren't all so bad.
