A brand new Sandy-themed Annie Leibovitz photoshoot over at Vogue is suffering a bit of a backlash right now. It’s understandable that this glamorous couture mugging may seem inappropriate in context, but it’s not like the models are strutting over hurricane ruins? As far as “controversial” fashion shoots, this isn’t that bad. The models are not […]
Craigslist’s “Free” section is home to curiosities of all sorts, from the curious to the mundane. At the time of this writing, there’s rollerblade pads, operetta 78s, and a hilarious, cryptic post both advertising free porn DVDs and soliciting “slim, clean” male models on the NYC site. Animator and free-stuff-enthusiast Kristen Lepore seized on this with […]
This week, the topless Ukrainian protest crew FEMEN have done something quite ballsy, or rather… titsy? As the Pope was reading the Angelus blessing in the Vatican, the activists stormed through St Peter’s Square chanting “homophobes, shut up!” with only the slogans “In Gay We Trust” on their bare torsos.

Ever since flood waters from Hurricane Sandy knocked out power to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum complex, thoroughly deflating Space Shuttle Enterprise’s cozy inflatable home, the prototype orbiter has sat on the aircraft carrier’s flight deck. As ANIMAL reported, this is not a good thing because the shuttle is not equipped to withstand […]

You are looking at a most exquisite pairing of lit city grids photographed from the International Space Station and neural networks imaged with fluorescence microscopy. The colossal, the minuscule the electric, the organic. They are the same. Something about fractals? Mind… blown.
