Surely one of the more bizarre stories you’ll read this week: Glendon Scott Crawford, a 49-year-old employee of General Electric living in Galway, NY, had a plot to build a device that would kill people in their sleep using high-radiation X-rays. Crawford called it “Hiroshima on a light switch,” and he intended to use it to […]
Bunny Rogers’ solo Shades of berny at the Appendix Space in Portland, Oregon is about the overlap in sexualization and exploitation of children and animals.

Here’s a wonderful little distraction for your Thursday afternoon: Soundodger, a free, arcade-style web game from Adult Swim. It’s a bit like Asteroids, putting you in control of a circular little “ship” whose sole purpose is to dodge the flood of debris that’s constantly flying at it. Unlike that arcade classic, however Soundodger doesn’t give you a gun to […]
