Why Jackson Pollock Matters
Anyone could dip a paintbrush and start flinging it at a canvas. Couldn't they? Looking at the work of Jackson Pollock, it can be hard not to be incredulous. But there was a method to the madness that made it great.

If two things were meant to go together, it's Home Alone-style traps and wrestling. Not only are they finally together, but it's Macaulay Culkin himself interfering in a match with a bucket of rolly balls. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.
The Star Wars universe wasn't always a universe. In 1978, it was a really popular movie — and George Lucas wanted to keep it that way. That was the rationale behind handing CBS the rights to make a Star Wars Holiday Special, which quickly became one of the worst TV airings of all time. This is how the Holiday Special happened, a long time ago, in a universe far, far away.

Then came the 00s, and suddenly, you could drive a 600+ hp car in the city like it was a Honda Accord. Before the outrageous hypercars of the 2010s, here were the best supercars of the 00s.
The Slow Mo Guys know the way to our hearts — through slow-motion destruction. It never seems to get old. So in their latest satisfying video, the guys head to a junkyard to send a four-ton wrecking ball through a few cars, filming the whole thing at just 1,000 frames per second.
Brandan "Bmike" Odums got his intro to street art in an abandoned housing project in New Orleans. He started there and kept returning there, amassing a collection of graffiti paintings on the walls. When the building was torn down, they cut out Brandan's work where it is now on display.

Hair loss may be inevitable, but Nutrafol approaches it as a system worth optimizing, not disguising. Built around a whole-body philosophy, the brand's physician-formulated, drug-free supplements target the underlying drivers of thinning hair, including stress, hormones, metabolism, and aging, rather than relying on cosmetic fixes. Its Men 50+ formula reflects that precision, designed specifically for the biological shifts that come with age and clinically tested to support thicker, fuller hair, improved coverage, and reduced shedding in as little as three to six months. Backed by dozens of clinical studies and trusted by dermatologists and healthcare professionals, Nutrafol treats hair growth less like a quick intervention and more like long-term maintenance for a changing system.

The Whittington brothers were part of the team that won the 1979 24 Hours of LeMans, but how they ended up there is a classic 70s story. Rumors of the brothers pot smuggling and paying off officials are nearly canon, from LeMans to NASCAR to the Indianapolis 500. John Ficarra tells the story of the time the Whittington brothers went racing.
Tyler, the Creator brought three tracks of his new album Flower Boy to the NPR offices for the first-ever nighttime show.
