@tatianagigi w/ @officialelenabelle   New York’s Stoops, Explained Driveway culture was en vogue where we grew up. Neighbors would sit in their garages. Lawn chairs galore. Passersby would walk half way up the driveway to say hello. Small talk would ensue, and before long, more lawn chairs would appear, and the social gathering would grow.  We weren’t raised in NYC. It’s stoops there. Not garages.   Put Your Best Face Forward: Healthy Skin Made Simple [Partner]  You don’t need a million products. Just the right ones.

They used to unravel how they felt about a painting or movie, helping us understand how we might feel about it. Educators. Translators of art and culture. Today, most critiques are just critics patting themselves on the back. Not this guy, though.  He’s the critic we all need in our feeds.   Making Toilets Is a Very Precise, Exacting, 3-day Process Pink toilets? Our favorite. There’s a lipstick-on-a-pig vibe to them. Ever encountered a dark toilet? Last night, at a hip pizza joint, we were only disappointed by one thing: black toilets in the restroom. It’s like peeing into a void. You have no idea what’s happening down there. Or what has happened.  Toilet making is an art.   Was Bigfoot Real? Leave it to Sir David Attenborough. If humanity ever hopes to find Bigfoot, it’s gotta be him. The sheer amount of nature documentaries he’s narrated? That alone makes him the leader in this search. Sir David, help us.  Was Bigfoot real? Final answer.   Throwback What Made the Viking Longship So Terrifyingly Effective We always thought it was the beards and horned helmets that made the Vikings so terrifying. Maybe not. The longship might’ve been their real superpower. Speed. Mobility. The ability to sail right up to the beach.  Vikings were wild.   The Mixer Inside SNL's iconic Studio 8H. Why everyone’s trying to make eye contact during toasts. Why beef jerky is so expensive. Why were Frank Sinatra’s shows haunted by the putrid smell of urine? 20 great songs to use for CPR. The famous bald eagle nest live cam.
