This weekend is the 30th anniversary of Spaceballs, Mel Brooks (somewhat) beloved Star Wars spoof.

Climate change might be bringing us closer to the guns-blazing desert apocalypse of Mad Max, but we’re not quite there yet. Unfortunately, it looks like one guy in California didn’t get the memo.

This Animated Short Illustrates What Happens When You Take Minimalism to an Extreme

The title of Scorch Motion’s short, Life Without Stuff, suggests a solid anti-consumerist philosophy—something everyone, not just hoarders, could probably stand to embrace.
