Bias
Biases for left and right handedness
A classic Radiolab with some mind bending facts and ideas about universal relationships with left and right. -
Endings
Closure Experiences
An interesting and fairly new term being championed by ex-ustwo™ Global Design Director Joseph Macleod. All these products and services we design and set up: What happens when they finish? Or when we finish with them? Designing experiences for endings. A lovely idea I think (and reminiscent of Nat Hunter's 2012 Metaphwoar! talk). -

As if nuclear weapons weren't scarily powerful enough already, these super fast photos add an extra spooky and ominous edge. -

Freedom is good, but security is better. That’s what Thomas Hobbes believed and what Harry Shearer explains in this lovely illustration / animation from the BBC History of Ideas series. -

Dissonance
Top 10 Mexican Standoffs in movies
Forget minor disagreement, the Mexican Standoff has to be the epitome dissonance, as displayed by its overuse in movies and TV. Insta-discord and opportunity for fast cuts and clever editing. -
Energy
Dance Energy 1991 Episode 1
25 years old, though with the current 90s graphics pastiche and VHS parody effects, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's contemporary. -
Sequels
Katie Scott's beautiful book, Story of Life: Evolution
A great behind the scenes from It's Nice That, showing the work behind a truly beautiful illustration of evolution. 'Evolution' being the longest running and most successful sequel franchise of all time, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a close second.
