Why is the Heart Shaped Like That?
No, not the hearts that beat in our chests — the shape that you see everywhere around Valentine's Day. As it turns out, the answer isn't as clear as you'd think.

Breaking up is hard to do. Breaking up while using nothing but movie titles? Even harder.

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.

Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.

This should be the next Winter Olympics sport. Nothing could be more thrilling than watching people hurl themselves down a ski slope inside of a giant plastic ball at huge, inflatable blowing pins.
Tate Roskelley breaks molds - and BMX bikes. With moves that border on creatively warped, he might be the most genius BMX rider in the galaxy.
As winter sports go, it's by far the easiest to joke about, what with the brooms, serious faces, and shuffleboard-on-ice aspects. But it's surprisingly complex — as you'll learn in this video from DNews.
The looks on the faces of Russia's Olympic TV audience must have been priceless. Jimmy Kimmel jumps the language barrier and translates the Russian translation of Sage Kotsenburg's press conference back to English.
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.

Private Label QR turns ordinary household labels into dynamic digital reference points, using durable QR stickers that link physical objects to editable information accessible from any smartphone camera. Once attached to a box, appliance, container, suitcase, or keepsake, each label can store notes, photos, instructions, contact details, or organizational data that can be updated anytime without replacing the sticker itself. The system feels especially useful for the kind of real-world friction most smart-home products ignore, from labeling moving boxes and organizing pantry goods to leaving appliance instructions for Airbnb guests or preserving the stories tied to family heirlooms. With no app required and built-in controls for private, public, or group visibility, the platform lands somewhere between modern inventory management and a digital memory layer for everyday objects.

This is a better test of reliability than anything you could do to a product in a lab. A skydiver drops a GoPro camera out of a plane, falls several thousand feet, lands in a pig pen, and gets gnawed on by pigs for eight months.
The crow might be nature's best problem solver. Demonstrating remarkable problem-solving skills, a wild crow completes an eight-part puzzle in this clip from BBC's Inside the Animal Mind.
