SMMT Sèrpa 16oz Tumbler Triple Black
Born from the shadows of mountain west peaks, SMMT's 'Triple Black' embodies the art of the slow burn. More than a color, it's a mood - clarity in the quiet, ritual in the pause. Designed in Park City, Utah at 7,000 feet and inspired by the steepest summits, the Sèrpa Tumbler returns in its boldest form yet: a blackout design for nights that run long, and rituals that run deep. Its 16oz kitchen-grade stainless steel body conceals a patent-pending Sip & Stow magnetic lid system and 3-Way Precision Insulation to keep your drink steady - hot on the coldest first-chair morning, cold by the warmest après fire. Built for connoisseurs of the moment - those who chase steeps, chase sips and choose stillness as a form of rebellion.

Human Evolution in 1,000 Years
Evolution never stops — the timeline for evolution is usually measured in hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. But in just over a century, the height of the average American male has increased three inches and there have been adaptations to disease in the span of decades. Some of the most radical evolutionary shifts may come from our own doing, as gene editing technologies like CRISPR allow for extreme fine-tuning of the human genome, and the growing potential for interfacing our biological selves with computers. And in 1,000 years, we might not be living on Earth at all.

Buy This Vitara
You could drop $50 million on an ultra-rare Ferrari with a successful racing pedigree — but no Ferrari has been to the Moon. Or ran with dinosaurs. Or can driven with sharks under the sea. This 1996 Suzuki Vitara has done all those things, and there's authenticated footage to prove it. Eugene Romanovsky wants you to #BUYMYVITARA, and you'd be a fool not to.

There's something in his apartment. A man looking for an insect-like thing devolves into a bout of insanity as his subconscious mind begins to strangle his waking one.
