You know photographer Nate “Igor” Smith from his blog Driven By Boredom. He says he’s been lucky to make a living shooting the streets, the parties, the babes, the craziness, and New York’s not-too-subtle definitive moments — but what he would like do now is to make you The Great American Road Trip Zine. To celebrate his […]
Some dog lovers are so close with their four-legged friends, they can tell what they’re thinking. Or can they? For ANIMAL’s newest series, What Do You Think Your Dog Is Thinking?, we go to dog parks all over New York and find out. Let’s see what’s on the minds of the city’s canines in Washington Square […]
For Emiland De Cubber, the most offensive part of NSA’s PRISM program is not the egregious violation of privacy, but the hideous slideshow the agency used to present it.

We didn’t actually go to cover the latest installment of the Red Hook Crit like we did last time, but by all accounts, the thing was pretty gnarly. There were lots of crashes. Only five people finished (as opposed to 28 at the last race). There’s an unconfirmed report of a guy who crashed in […]
Being the simple peasants that we are, we sometimes forget that we’re constantly being screwed by the big ol’ dicks who caused the global financial crisis. As a not-so-subtle reminder, British interventionist group Shift//Delete transformed the Gherkin building, an emblem of London’s financial district, into the world’s tallest penis. Aptly nicknamed Jerkin the Gherkin, Act of […]
If you enjoyed DJ Hennessy Youngman’s CVS Bangers mixtape, here’s his newest compilation. In response to the shocking leaks, it’s highly topical, well-mixed and the Eric Edwards-esque DJ drops are hilarious. “I always feel like Somebody’s watching me…” “SOMEBODY IS.” Ok, maybe not so hilarious.
