that I kill it.

to life. Watch it.

Watch a feather and a bowling ball fall at the exact same speed
To
this day, I've never felt dumber than when elementary school me thought
that 100 pounds of bowling balls would fall faster than 100 pounds of
feathers. This video doesn't show that riddle in action but something
even cooler: how things fall at the same rate inside the world's largest
vacuum chamber.

A City Is Using Grindr and Emoji To Make Its Streets Safer
Pedestrian
safety is not sexy. Important? Sure. But the first thing on your mind
when following your hookup out of the bar? Nah. Still, West Hollywood
wants to be fun and safe, and its pedestrian safety campaign is very squarely aimed at its young, hip, and gay partygoers. Emoji? Grindr? Taylor Swift parody? Check…

Son Lux: Lanterns
I first "got" Son Lux's Lanterns while
on a long nighttime plane ride, one of those endless flights when time
