This version of Earth, Wind, and Fire's 'September' by artist and content creator Rudy Willingham is so amazing, I can't stop watching it! Willingham created 170 fall leaf cutouts and then photographed each of them to create the impressive stop motion video that perfectly...
More than 800 military veterans kicked out because of their sexual orientation during the 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' era are to receive honorable discharges following a review of Pentagon records. 'Under President Biden's leadership, the Department of Defense has taken...
The ninth annual International Space-Out Competition was held last week in Hong Kong—a grueling contest of grit and wit in which contestants go head-to-head to see who can chill the fuck out more. Yes, really. You just have to daydream. If you give into the...
Last week, when Polygon proclaimed Hundreds of Beavers to be the 'funniest movie of the year,' I admit that I scoffed. Granted, 2024 hasn't exactly been a laugh riot in the world of film, but here is the synopsis to back my skepticism: In this 19th century, supernatural...
German politicians love to make a show of supporting the state of Israel, but the national carrier's willingness to accomodate orthodox Jews is another matter. Lufthansa must pay a record $4m fine after turning away a large group of passengers from a 2022 flight in...

Trump Media sank under $13 a few weeks ago, then bounced back to $30. Yesterday it plunged again, so fast that trading was automatically suspended by the exchange. The yo-yo-ing stock formally represents the obviously worthless 'Trump Social' website, but is really MAGA...
The Mobile Phone Museum has 2800 individual handsets in its collection, all beautifully (and consistently) photographed and described. The curators hunger for more. The Mobile Phone Museum project was conceived by Ben Wood in 2004. In 2019 he joined forces with fellow...
The Verge's retrospective on the Motorola Razr, the phone of the 2000s, is well-designed and sharp on the eyes. Just like the handset. I was 11 years old when the Razr launched and probably among the first generation of kiddies that begged their parents to buy them a...
