One of my favorite moments in any book or movie is when a character finally says the title. Sometimes it’s enlightening, sometimes it’s silly, but I always clock it. If you’re with me, you might also enjoy this compendium of every time a so-called “title-drop” has happened in a film over the last 80 years. The creators used data from more than 73,000 films to analyze how often this happens (36.5% of movies have one), when in the runtime, frequency by decade, occurrence based on genre, type, and overall critical reception, and much, much, more. You can also just search by movie at the bottom, which is fun. -VvP |

I’ll be the first to say that I find most cannabis cookbooks to be more gimmicky than helpful. While cooking and cannabis are both part of my life, I rarely find the need to combine these two, er, passions. I’d rather eat great food without having to do the math of how many milligrams I’m consuming and just smoke before, during, or after. However, throw Willie Nelson in the mix and my interest gets more than a bit piqued. Out Tuesday the 12th, Willie and Annie Nelson's Cannabis Cookbook will surely zoom high up the list of weed recipe books. While dishes include Shirred Eggs with Asparagus & Fennel and Buttermilk Fried Chicken, the stories and tales behind the recipes will hopefully make up for the fact that Willie himself is apparently not exactly a fan of the food. -DW |

This bong-meets-Deco-inspired vase is perfect holiday wish list fodder. Unlike most accessories, this “Mantelpiece” functions as both simultaneously, with a distinct vessel for each that can be nested one on top of the other without having to drain any water. -VvP |

The latest issue of modern motherhood magazine Mother Tongue is out and you should totally jump on it. Featuring my friend, the amazingly talented Suleika Jaouad, on the cover, Issue 7 is as beautiful as it is smart (or, if you prefer, as smart as it is beautiful). Supporting print magazines, especially when they’re independent and especially when they’re good, is a no-brainer. They also sell these hats, should that be more your bag (and these bags, should that be more your hat). -DW |

A very pretty and interactive study of color from an impressive array of mushrooms. Aside from just clicking on the dye swatches (which is pleasing enough), you can learn how to forage for mushrooms and make your own paint pigments from them. It’s a soothing site all around. -DW |
