ANIMAL’s feature Game Plan asks game developers to share a bit about their process and some working images from the creation of a recent game. This week, we spoke with Hamish Todd about Music of the Spheres, a game inspired by Islamic art and viruses, which have only one thing in common: math. “I don’t […]
Here’s some stuff to do tomorrow. None of it sucks. If you really want to get weird with it we recommend the 8-hour noise set by Silent Servant, if you haven’t thought of a costume yet, dress up as an emoji and hit Transfer gallery’s art party and if you want to keep it low-key […]
Two businesses in Harlem that posted the controversial “Do not enter with hoodie or mask” signs have recently taken them down. On Thursday morning, ANIMAL visited both the Bravo supermarket and Kings Deli on Frederick Douglass Boulevard and the signs were no longer posted at either one. When I walked into Bravo earlier, I had […]
Because New York City is actually a bleak 1980s-era simulacrum of a futuristic city on the brink of apocalypse, the NYPD have taken to announcing the reduced city-wide speed limit by blaring it from a large van.

The AP reports that farm-raised shrimp “is […]
What’s Moby been up to? To answer the question that absolutely no one asked: he’s still making music and living in a castle in the Hollywood Hills, while formulating ideas about how we’ve all been in living in a post-apocalyptic world since 9/11. Being really rich gives a man time to think, and having no […]
Violent crime in New York is way, way down, so perhaps it’s more than a coincidence that according to a new poll, women find New York’s public transportation system to be the safest in the world. More than 6,550 “women and gender and city planning experts” responded to a survey conducted by the Thomson Reuters […]
Sometimes it seems like cab drivers are the last remnant of surly, rude, angry New York. They’ll argue about anything, they don’t want to go to Brooklyn and they’re the only tip-based service workers for whom the customer is never right. A new study by three NYU doctors has found that all of that attitude […]
