Parents paying up to $41,000 in tuition to Upper East Side’s York Prep are shocked, because their children were assigned to write suicide notes. Oh my god! But not really. While it is true that a group of 14-year-old students of English teacher Jessica Barrish were assigned to write suicide notes, no complaints were made by anyone other […]
Anechoic chambers–sealed-off rooms designed to prevent the intrusion or reflection of sound or radio waves–can be astoundingly beautiful places, it turns out. Though some chambers are filled with gray, institutional acoustic foam, others use otherworldly blue spikes like the ones above, which are designed to absorb and deaden any sound or electromagnetic waves that may […]
According to Broadway World, “Basquiat The Musical” is getting a private reading on June 24th. That’s Broadway for “Oh shit, it’s happening.” They already have some singing actors picked out. Oh look, there’s a blonde white lady. Uh-oh. Get ready for “Madonna!” Presumably. Hey, if an Oz spin-off can pump $2.5 billion out of the world, seems like a rational […]
Going through @stopandfrisk‘s timeline on Twitter, one phrase jumps out at you: “No weapon is found.” Every five minutes, the account tweets a short description of one of the 685,742 stops that occurred in 2011, and only one percent of those stops actually turned up a weapon.

Since 2011, George and Porter’s innovative toolkit has been ricocheting through the New York art-tech community. It’s just […]

A Practical Guide to Squatting doesn’t just provide useful tips for anyone planning to begin living such a lifestyle but includes tons of […]
Imagine, for a moment, that the next time you tell a story at a party, you’re unbound by silly things like “realism” and “the truth.” Sure, many of us are liberal with embellishments when spinning a yarn, but what if could make it up wholecloth? What kind of story would you tell? That’s the question […]
Do you like what we have been up to lately? We trolled Supreme, got love from Rachel Maddow, beat Tribeca Film Festival in the Vine game and reported from the front lines of #OccupyGezi. We interviewed artists, made mixtapes, documented graffiti in London and shot the “Rent Is Too Damn High” music video for Jimmy McMillan all over NYC. If last year we were about boxer […]
