Happy 195th Birthday, Karl Marx! The artist Ottmar Hörl made you a present — 500 of them. These three-foot-tall Karls-gnome-hybrids in clusters all over Trier in west Germany, where Marx was born.

Watch drivers hop out of their cars to walk old ladies across the intersection, catch stray animals, brush off snow from their […]
Leah McSweeney of indie fashion line Married to the Mob has been putting out Supreme Bitch t-shirts since 2004. Nine years later, James Jebbia of Supreme decides to sue McSweeney for copyright infringement — for $10,000,000. That’s a fairly intimidating gesture.
