On an early Thursday morning, I met Carlos Rodriguez by the dog run at Madison Square Park in Manhattan. The vigilante animal rescuer has been coming here almost every day for the past three years, picking up maimed and abandoned animals — dogs, cats, baby squirrels, even a rooster and a genie hen. He rehabilitates them at […]
In the late 1880s, people called vaginas “horse-collars” and penises “love truncheons.” If the penis was big, however, they might call it a “kidney-wiper,” and if it was erect, “bit of stiff.” How do I know? These excellent, astoundingly detailed interactive timelines (spotted by our friends at Nerdcore) of the things we called our naughty […]
Hot on the heels of CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who recently announced his support for the use of medical cannabis (just like we predicted), is Dr. Manny Alvarez, Fox News’s medical correspondent. In a blog post titled “Medical marijuana for children should be approved by Governor Christie,” Alvarez expounds on weed’s medicinal benefits, and argues […]

The NSA leaks of the past few months have united a pretty amazing cross-section of people, on all shades of the political spectrum, against federal government surveillance. Case in point: Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, the host of a Christian YouTube show called Pray in Jesus Name, recently devoted a segmented to praying away the “satanic, evil spirit” […]
“Johnny Weir is a traitor! He’s a self-proclaimed Rusophile and he’s going to Russia to fuck and eat red caviar,” yelled the best-dressed man in a room. At the Chelsea LGBT Community Center’s town hall meeting of about 150, Michael Lucas of Lucas Entertainment (link NSFW) declared an all out Olympic boycott as the only […]
James Meyer, a longtime assistant to the famous contemporary artist Jasper Johns, has recently been arrested for the sale of some twenty-two unfinished artworks to an unnamed art gallery in Manhattan. As Johns’s assistant for over twenty-five years, Meyer had access to numerous unfinished works by the artist, many of which were located within a […]
Last week, Chance the Rapper’s Acid Rap hit number 63 on Billboard’s Hip-Hop/R&B albums chart. Now, Acid Rap is very, very good, and Chance deserves every bit of the success and recognition he’s seen since its release. But something about this particular honor is fishy: Acid Rap is a free download; it shouldn’t be charting at all. Someone appears to be […]
You clicked the headline, so you already know what you’re in for. Here’s a beautifully produced video of a few very old white people reciting the lyrics to A$AP Rocky’s “Houston Old Head.” It is very funny, especially when you get to “pimpin’ bitches since lemon shrimp lo mein.” These people are actually very compelling […]
