The Country Music Awards were last night so before the show, Jimmy Kimmel had to bring some of country's biggest stars down a notch. Twitter was on fire, criticizing everything from their voice to their Zoolander hair. Not even the queen Dolly Parton was safe from the internet's wrath.

Luca Faloni Denim Shirt
Luca Faloni's Classic Denim Shirt gives a refined Italian treatment to one of menswear's most dependable staples. Made in Northern Italy from robust 100% Italian cotton denim, the shirt pairs a clean button-up silhouette with a signature Paramontura one-piece collar, Australian mother-of-pearl buttons, and a rounded hem. It's pre-washed to prevent future shrinkage and available in slim or regular fits, making it equally suited to wearing on its own or layered through the seasons. Available in six colors, the Classic Denim Shirt brings Luca Faloni's understated approach to a piece that needs little embellishment to work almost anywhere.

Nike Pegasus 42
Pegasus is Nike's top-selling running line and its longest-lived, and the 42 gives the everyday trainer a roomier fit. The ReactX foam midsole, up 13% in responsiveness over Nike's previous React foam, is paired with an Air Zoom unit that curves the full length of the shoe for the highest energy return Nike offers, from heel to toe-off. The mesh upper is softer and airier than before, a reworked fit leaves the forefoot and toes a little extra space, and a steeper curve under the toes adds spring. A lighter Waffle outsole pairs high-abrasion rubber with flex grooves for traction and flexibility. A men's size 10 weighs about 10.5 ounces.

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.

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.
