The best part of being in Hollywood? The parties, obviously. Silicon Valley's TJ Miller relates that one time he went to a pre-Emmys party and tried (rather unsuccessfully) to dance with Paris Hilton.

China's finally getting their insane lane-straddling bus on the road. The elevated alternative spans 72-feet long and 25-feet wide and rides above the street, allowing cars to pass underneath to help reduce traffic. Although it was limited to a 300 meter track, the bus took its first test run in Qinhuangdao on Tuesday, taking it one step closer to picking up passengers in cities around the globe.
Art is sometimes as much the work of those before as the artist themselves. Rarely does that hold true as often as in film. This side-by-side supercut details a few of the inspirations Wes Anderson has found in the work of directors past.
DC Comic's Suicide Squad has been together since the 50s, but are making their first big screen debut this year. A government-sponsored group of career criminals, they're thrown together to fight crime — because who knows more about crime than master criminals?

Brooks takes a utility-first approach to training apparel with the Dash 6" 2-in-1 Short, a lightweight hybrid built for runs, gym sessions, and everything in between. Designed with a semi-fitted silhouette that follows the body without restricting movement, it pairs a breathable woven 6-inch outer shell with a supportive 4-inch boxer-brief liner engineered to reduce chafing and move freely thanks to 4-way stretch. Perforated side panels and a flat-knit waistband with internal drawcord keep airflow and fit dialed in, while a thoughtful pocket system adds everyday practicality with a liner phone pocket, key storage, and two external hand pockets for off-the-clock wear. The result is a versatile training short that transitions easily from workout to daily routine without missing a step.

Duke Cannon's Father's Day lineup leans into the brand's familiar formula of oversized grooming essentials, military-inspired packaging, and unapologetically rugged scent profiles, but beneath the tongue-in-cheek attitude sits a genuinely practical collection of daily-use upgrades. The gift guide ranges from heavyweight Big Ass Bricks of Soap and bourbon-forward beard care to colognes, tactical shower bundles, and shave kits built for dads who prefer utility over luxury-brand vanity. Everything arrives wrapped in Duke Cannon's signature blue-collar aesthetic, balancing humor with legitimately solid formulations made for hard-working skin, dry hands, and low-maintenance routines. It is less about reinventing grooming and more about turning everyday basics into something that feels giftable, durable, and distinctly masculine.

In this episode of The Meat Show, Nick Solares pushes his carnivorous status to the limits by tasting five cuts all ranging from 45 to a gnarly 420 days, and lives to tell about it.
This wonderfully prepared bowl of ramen looks exquisite — unfortunately, it's made out of paper. YellDesign's stop-motion animations are fun to watch as they would be to eat, if they were real. If you have a hunger for more papercraft, check out their penne meatballs or banana split.
