It's been four long years since The National released their last album, 2013's Trouble Will Find Me. The band has been teasing Sleep Well Beast with strange clips and posters, which is due out September 8, 2017. "The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness" gives us a look at what to expect from their new album with its accompanying video, directed by Casey Reas,
Nothing says Christmas like a good old-fashioned brawl in the isles of some big-box store over the latest toy. From the Cabbage Patch scare of the 80s to the heightened tensions of the Tickle-Me-Elmo craze of the 00s, toy trends in America are one of the clearest barometers of our social health — or lack thereof. The latest in must-have useless plastic is the fidget spinner. But where did it come from? What is its history? The Nerdwriter digs deep into the mysterious origins of the newest toy fad.
You wouldn't expect Dirty Harry to pull any punches, and in this 2009 interview, he comes out swinging. Cal Fussman sat down with Clint Eastwood to talk about what Eastwood has learned over the years, in his own words. Moving around and being the new kid in school, Clint learned about being bullied — and how to defend himself when the time came.
This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings. It opens with fresh bergamot, coriander, and floral notes, transitions to a heart of velvety ambroxan and rich vanilla, and finishes with lingering dry wood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and warm grey amber. Encased in a sleek, leather-textured bottle, Lafayette Street is a celebration of modern masculinity and a tribute to Bond No. 9's roots.

Combining legendary Leica optics and a full-frame sensor in a compact body, the original Q was a tremendous success. The third-generation Leica Q3 further refines the formula. It's built around an all-new 60-megapixel, backside-illuminated CMOS sensor offering 14 stops of dynamic range, which uses pixel-binning to output 36- and 18-megapixel images for faster operation and longer bursts. It's paired with a new Maestro IV processor with an 8GB buffer and a new hybrid autofocus system that blends contrast and phase detection to enable speedy eye, face, body, and animal tracking. Video recording also receives a boost, with 8K resolution, H.265, and Apple ProRes support.
Thankfully unchanged is the outstanding Leica Summilux 28 mm f/1.7 ASPH lens, with an integrated macro mode. It's paired with a digital zoom feature that crops to focal lengths of 28, 35, 50, 75 mm, and 90 mm, expanding creative possibilities without carrying around extra glass. The OLED EVF receives a resolution boost to 5.76 MP with zero lag, as does the tiltable 3" display offering 1.84 million pixels — a 76% increase compared to the Q2. The new battery has 18% more power than the prior generation, and when paired with the wireless charging handgrip can recharge the camera without wires or an external charger, a first for a full-frame camera.
Bluetooth and MIMO WiFi are on board, with the latter supporting 10x faster wireless transfer speeds, and four customizable FN buttons allow for easy one-thumb operation. Ports include HDMI for video recording and USB-C for charging and data transfer, and IP52-certified weather sealing protects against splashes and dirt. The Leica Q3 is handmade in Germany.

Family. It's the center of life — the kicking, screaming, depressing and utterly dysfunctional center of life. One of the strongest families on the small screen was host John Stewart and his Daily Show correspondents, going out into the world and producing the hard-hitting stories we came to love. Those days are over, and those correspondents have gone on to successful careers of their own. Stephen Colbert brought the Daily Show cast back together on The Late Show for reminiscing and catching up with what everyone's been up to.
Taking from the book The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan, War Machine follows the turbulent rise and fall of four-star General Stanley McChrystal. Brad Pitt portrays McChrystal as Dan McMahon during his time as commander of the NATO forces in Afghanistan until an unflattering profile in Rolling Stone magazine leads to his termination by President Obama. Also starring Tilda Swinton and Sir Ben Kingsley, the film comes to Netflix May 26, 2017.
Simple shades won't cut it on the slopes. Instead of donning full-on goggles, Sunski's Ferrata sunglasses offer a convertible, more conventional option. Its large square silhouette is enhanced with a removable perforated center piece and side shields that help block glare on bright days while allowing air to flow through. The frames combine thermoplastic and stainless steel for durability, and the Helio polycarbonate lenses provide sharp optics.

There is nothing as amazing as watching the birth of a child — even if that child is a parasitic alien clawing its way out of your chest. Now you can watch the miracle of life in the first-person view as a xenomorph tears its way into the world.
