Dmitri “Skif” Putehin of Other Russia could face two years in prison for throwing a glass of water at a prosecutor at the trial of his friend.

The George W. Bush library will feature a mangled memento of his ultimate failure with the installation of a twisted beam from the World Trade Center. According to engineers, this particular piece of steel took a direct hit from one of the planes that crashed into the buildings. Read more »
Here’s some old 8mm film of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade shot in the year that WWII started. Just in case your tiny spawn or the promise of Tim Burton’s balloon made you go look up at yesterday’s floats, this is a glimpse of what you’d be seeing in 1939. For contrast! Read more »
If ever two most opposite choices stood before you they’re this: Will you buy the $225 press on nails from Barney’s recently unveiled “Gaga’s Workshop” or get in the spirit of Buy Nothing Day with #OCCUPYXMAS?

They would like to remind you that “Madrid blatantly violates European legislation on air quality” and those in power do not care.

Here’s some chilling new watercolor work from Walton Ford, that is, if you spot the ethical parallel between yourself and these monkeys jerking it while choking the throat of a helpless bird in the clasp of its opposable thumb. Delicate, detailed, intricate and giant, the series is part close ups of cinema’s 1933 King Kong crying mid “the grief of the unlovable” and part illustrations of a diary entry by the ornithologist John James Audubon (1785-1851).
