Everest Isles and Photog Matthew Clark Team Up For Ocean-Saving Prints

June 8 is World Oceans Day and, to honor the great global ocean that regulates our climate and provides us with food, transportation, and beautiful beaches, technical swim and sportswear maker Everest Isles and renowned photographer Matthew Clark teamed up to create a unique, extremely limited run of Clark’s photos printed on recycled technical sales.

Unique in their backing material, these prints are all signed and numbered by the artist and, depending on size, run between $500 to $750. While that may sound like a steep price to pay, remember, not only are you getting a high-end art piece you can hang anywhere in your pad, you’re also donating to a good cause.

All proceeds from Clark’s prints go to Ocean Global, a non-profit that uses art, music, and tech to educate people on the many issues impacting our oceans today, including pollution, ocean acidification, and rising temperatures. Not only do they educate, however, they also offer real world solutions to initiate positive change.

This extremely exclusive run of 10 prints is available until June 30, or until they’re gone–whichever comes first.

With the US withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, it’s time for Americans to step-up as individuals and do our part. For someone with a love of art and money to burn, this is a good place to start. For more info, or to order, check out the prints here.

The ECTO-Z makes its debut in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Later this month, the Ghostbusters will be back on the big screen in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. And while three generations of the team are coming together, there is a big addition to the crew: The ECTO-Z. At an event in New York City, Mercedes-Benz officially unveiled the Ghostbusters' new ride, which is a customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that follows in the footsteps of the iconic ECTO-1 from the first three films.

Given the larger size of the second and third-generation Ghostbusters team, it was only natural that they would need a vehicle that could carry all of them to the scene of a haunting anywhere in NYC. As for the name, it comes from original team member Dr. Winston Zeddemore, as played by Ernie Hudson. Ghostbusters: Afterlife established that Zeddemore is now the financial backer of the Ghostbusters and the de facto leader of the team.

Everything points to Apple TV+ making a change you’re not going to like
Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

From Gilda Radner to Ali Wong, these are the best female comedians of all time
These women from all generations will make you laugh out loud

Hot take: I don’t care for straight male comedians. It’s not that they’re not funny, they’re just … I don’t know, boring? Maybe that’s reductive of me, but I never seem to leave a straight male comedian’s set feeling particularly inspired. And though some may argue that it’s not important for a set to "inspire" its audience, I’d actually argue that the opposite is true. For me, I want to see a comedian use humor to address real issues and say real things about the world, even if they do it in a completely goofy way.

Therefore, I tend to prefer female and female-identified comedians. They’re sharp, tough, and have often seen shit that makes their comedy feel raw and true. Undoubtedly there are male comedians who do this, too, but to a much lesser degree, in my very humble and very personal opinion.
