At the Republican National Convention, Ted Crus was met with a wave of boos after he refused to endorse his arch nemesis Donald Trump. To our delight, the speech got its own glorious bad lip reading. "The guy's a creep" pretty much sums it all up.
Director Danny Boyle brings the lads back together for the sequel to 1996's heroin epic Trainspotting. Surprisingly, all four original cast members seemed to have survived the intervening 20 years, and will reprise their characters in T2. This could actually be a sequel that doesn't suck.
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup turns North America into the center of the football universe, Nike revisits a silhouette rooted in the culture that surrounds soccer. Originally designed for indoor play, the Gato LV8 transitions from the futsal court to everyday wear with a denim upper that brings a relaxed, lived-in character to the classic profile. A low-cut silhouette, foam midsole, and gum rubber outsole retain the comfort and traction that made the original a favorite among players, while its understated design fits naturally into modern wardrobes. Whether heading to a watch party, the stadium, or the neighborhood pub before or after the final whistle, the Gato LV8 carries the spirit of the game beyond the pitch and into life.

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.

Although Game of Thrones comes off as a rather serious series full of violence, power, and death, the Seven Kingdoms also has a lighter side. In this blooper reel from season six, you'll see Peter Dinklage struggle with "benevolent", The Hound struggle with an axe, and Emilia Clarke struggle with Dothraki. We still give her props for even attempting to speak a totally made up language.
