Here’s what the 191st Street Tunnel looked like

Here’s what the 191st Street Tunnel looked like right after it was painted, legally, by graffiti and street artists in 2015. Eventually all those murals became backdrops, as they got more and more bombed, but that’s what also made it so beautifully New York. There’s layers to this shit.

In the past few days, the City buffed the entire passageway, transforming it back into a drab, monotone canvas, that writers are already adding color to, again. 🎥: @aymanndotcom #191ststreettunnel #nycgraffiti #nycstreetart

#VEWSEUM, Part II: Originally, VEW planned on bringing in a handful of artists to paint the tunnel with him, but with conflicting schedules, approaching holidays and wall space quickly disappearing, he had to put that on hold, but not before DISTORT blessed the spot. Lola Lovenotes came through too. #vewertunnnel @distoart @lovenotes @_vewer_

#VEWSEUM: Over a month’s time, NYC artist VEW painted nearly two dozen pieces in the historic Park Avenue Tunnel. The thoroughfare has been shut to traffic for a few years now, with the roadway undergoing renovations by the DOT. This closure created the perfect opportunity for VEW (and other graffiti writers) to get up, in broad daylight, smack dab underneath some of Manhattan’s most bustling streets. Armed with rollers and cans of spray paint, VEW became infatuated with the spot, and put in the most work, spending hours on end there.

The constantly evolving passageway is like a magical place where the police are forbidden to enter. Not even young people practicing wheelies can summon the NYPD down there. We urge everyone to go visit the urban oasis for themselves to truly appreciate the full experience. #vewseum #vewertunnel #vewgi @_vewer_

Housing Works—a nonprofit committed to helping t

Housing Works—a nonprofit committed to helping the homeless and persons with HIV/AIDS—made history in Manhattan on Thursday by getting the jump on everyone, and becoming the first official cannabis dispensary in New York State to open to the public.

Located at Broadway and 8th Street, a line of people stretching down the block eagerly waited to order from the @housingworkscannabis menu, which offered edibles ($30 for 100mg), vape carts ($53.40 - $84.80 for 1000mg), pre-rolls ($18) and flower ($40-55 an 1/8th)—there was a variety of sativa, indica,and hybrid strains available like Banana Runtz (21% THC), Gush Mints (25% THC), and Ri Ri (19% THC), among others.

Housing Works is one of eight nonprofits that have been granted a license to sell cannabis, along with 28 "justice-involved" individuals. Those dispensaries are expected to start operating in the next few months.

As to whether or not legal weed will work in the city known for consuming the most cannabis in the world is still years in the making—all the locals are one step removed from major plugs and won't wanna pay the tax—but if any place has a shot, it’s here.

Housing Works Cannabis Co. is at 750 Broadway and open from 11am-7pm daily. #cannabis #420 #nyc #animalnewyorkfeed

For a week, Trump hyped up a "major announcement"

For a week, Trump hyped up a "major announcement" that he'd be making, but not even the best comedic writers from Veep or most cynical editors from the Onion could’ve been prepared for what the world was about to witness when the former POTUS released an infomercial of himself hawking NFTs like the ShamWow guy does cleaning cloths.

A news cycle of pundits speculated wildly about whether Trump would try and inject some life into his low energy campaign by announcing a running mate, launching an attack on Kevin McCarthy's race for speaker, or at the very least, floating some new conspiracy theory about Hunter Biden's laptop. Then the promo dropped. ⬅️ The shit was so bad, that one of Trump’s most loyal pardon recipients, triple-shirt wearing former advisor Steve Bannon, interrupted a replaying of the clip during his podcast to say: "I can't do this anymore. He's one of the greatest presidents in history, but I gotta tell you, whoever ... business partner [or] anybody on the comms team and anybody at Mar-a-Lago ... and I love the folks down there, but we're at war—they ought to be fired today!"

The comically absurd NFTs feature bad, PhotoShopped-style images of TFG as a superhero and other absolutely bizarro depictions that are beyond parody and most people's capacity for creative imagination. According to fine print on the website selling the “art,” the NFTs aren’t vehicles for investment.” That disclaimer may be the most honest things ever uttered by a Trump-affiliated entity. Fast Company reports: "One year ago, the total market capitalization of NFTs stood at $23 billion. Today, it sits at just $2.4 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. In the last 24 hours alone, it has lost nearly 8% of its value."

Despite the recent collapse of FTX, the downward trend of crypto and an even gloomier forecast for NFTs, all 45k of the non-fungible tokens have sold out, completing a new circle of hell, where the worlds of art, crypto, and now, politics freely collide! Hypocrisy too!

"I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air," wrote Trump in 2019. ***chef’s kiss*** #animalnewyorkfeed

Biggie Smalls sculpture by @Sherwintheartist, beca

Biggie Smalls sculpture by @Sherwintheartist, because this is more than just a statue. Located in DUMBO, the multimedia work of art is entitled "Sky’s the Limit in the County of Kings," stands nine feet tall, and is made of stainless steel. Rocking a crown and signature Coogi pattern, on certain days it plays a Biggie playlist that’s curated by @DJMisterCee, and powered by solar panels on the back. 🎶 "It’s unbelievable!" 🎶 (note: the sculpture has been slightly vandalized; that red paint splashed on front doesn’t belong there.) #biggie #notoriousBIG #nycart
