The very popular television show about a high school chemistry teacher-turned-drug king pin ended last night. So, what are Breaking Bad addicts to do, now that they’ve been cut off… forever?

Artists Anthony Antonellis (the one with the RFID chip implant) and Kim Asendorf (the one who launched GIFs into space) eat food, just like us. As part of an exhibition for Berlin’s Art Hack Day — an internet-based nonprofit dedicated to “hackers whose medium is art and artists whose medium is tech” — artists Kim Asendorf, Andreas Nicolas Fischer, Sebastian Schmieg, Anthony Antonellis and Nora […]

Could be the “Charles Manson is Jesus Christ” sign and weathervane in the “Abraxas Shrine” or the myriad of neon-lit doll parts and upside down Christian kitsch hanging in the window. Unlike […]
Fung Wah and Lucky Star, OGs of the Chinatown bus game, may be returning to the playing field this fall after a months-long absence.
