Fortunately, his obsession doesn't interfere with his day job.
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

The Monterey Overshirt from Collars & Co leans into the kind of effortless layering piece that works year-round without overthinking it. Cut from a lightweight cotton-linen blend with a touch of stretch, it delivers breathable comfort with just enough structure to hold its shape, striking a balance between relaxed and refined. Details like patch pockets, working buttons, and a clean pointed collar keep things classic, while the unlined construction makes it easy to throw over a tee or polo as temperatures shift. Machine washable and designed for a true-to-size fit, it's a straightforward staple that slots easily into a daily rotation without feeling like an afterthought.

Last year, Colin Furze blew the mind of every Star Wars fanatic when he built an almost life-size AT-AT. This year, he pledged his total allegiance to the Dark Side by constructing a full-size replica of Kylo Ren's TIE Silencer. The fighter measures in at 46 feet long, 23 feet wide, and 14 feet tall and is made completely of steel. As if that isn't enough, he enlisted James Bruton to also make a fully-functioning BB-9E.

Noah Baumbach is one of them. Using the director's latest film The Meyerowitz Stories — following a dysfunctional New York family — Nerdwriter examines how Baumbach has mastered recreating how families actually talk.
