Two (of many) very satisfying time lapse videos by the Rescue And Restore channel showing the deconstruction and rehabilitation of (in this case) a rusted-up Tonka dump truck and military jeep.
Come for the nostalgia, stay for the sandblasting.

Cross Me
at
An incredibly complex music video for Ed Sheeran’s ‘Cross Me’ directed by Ryan Staake featuring dancer Courtney Scarr, Sheeran and Chance the Rapper in a combination of motion capture, animation, light effects and CGI.
Long exposure shenanigans by photographer Darren ‘Darius Twin’ Pearson – an animation composed of 1,012 light painted, long exposure photographs all drawn by hand.
A curious short by Zohar Dvir in which (and for reasons best known to himself):
…a Grizzly bear, Jesus Christ and Elvis Presley find utopias in an unsatisfying life.
Optically bewildering ‘vortex’ sculptures by LA-based artist Jen Stark – her depiction of complex scientific and mathematical concepts like infinity, evolution and sacred geometry.
Stark’s exhibition ‘Dimensionality’ opens next month at the Joshua Line Gallery in New York, if you’re passing.
MIDTOYSOMMAR

An unsettling mashup by Nelson Carvajal of the trailer for ‘Toy Story 4’ and narration from the trailer for Ari Aster’s folk horror ‘Midsommar’.
You’ve seen ‘em. Now you can name ‘em. To wit:
Many world cultures have their own names for thebrightest stars, and it is culturally and historically important to remember them. In the interest of clear global communication, however, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has begun to designate standardized star names. Featured above in true color are the 25 brightest stars in the night sky, currently as seen by humans, coupled with their IAU-recognized names. Some star names have interesting meanings, including Sirius (“the scorcher” in Latin), Vega (“falling” in Arabic), and Antares (“rival to Mars” in Greek). It’s also likely that other of these bright star names are not familiar to you, even though familiar Polaris is too dim to make this list.
