According to BBC, the U.S. Special Operations Command is currently seeking to develop an Iron Man style body suit to give soldiers “superhuman strength” for an advantage while in combat. The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (Talos) would have a metallic frame, similar to the one in Iron Man, the film. These suits would be composed of additional layers […]
Banksy’s latest Better Out Than In piece arrives in a markedly more off-the-beaten trail neighborhood than any of the work so far: East New York, Brooklyn. It’s got none of the overt political commentary of yesterday’s Wikileaks-referencing piece: this one is just a small stenciled Beaver, knocking down a “No Parking” sign. We’re on our way to […]

I got a 15/20. Your move. For more IKEA-related internet stuff, check here and […]
Former LCD Soundsystem main man James Murphy created this 10-minute remix of David Bowie’s “Love Is Lost” for a forthcoming deluxe edition of The Next Day, and oh fuck is it good.

Anti-NSA surveillance protest group “Restore the Fourth” has successfully adopted a section of highway that will neighbor a new heavily guarded data center. This particular stretch of suburban highway cuts directly through a National Guard base the future home of this Salt Lake City data center location. Members of the group plan to maintain the highway as expected […]
Everybody’s favorite drug-addled Brooklyn rappers are back with a new video, for “Death,” from their latest mixtape Better off Dead. In what has become the trademark Flatbush Zombies style, there are chainsaws, creepy white contact lenses, and copious horrorshow vibes. Not nearly enough blood, though. […]
