Last week, some anonymous cyclists created some street art to remember a number of pedestrians and bike riders who were struck and killed by vehicle drivers with no criminal investigation done by the NYPD. Now, Time’s Up! uploaded a video containing living wills of various cyclists that state, should they be fatally struck by a […]
Finding that perfect little looping animation of dogs breaking up a cat fight, Elmo jumping, or Guy Fieri lapping up Pellegrino is about to get much easier: Today, Google announced a new image search feature that will allow you to filter your results to receive GIFs. A lucky few (not me) users have GIF search already, but the […]
Earlier today, the New York Times shared photos of a fun activity held in Central Park in the 1930s: Goat beauty contests. The pageants were held so that the Brewers Board of Trade could choose a poster goat for their bock beer advertisements.

The most unsettling part is how no specific body cavity was mentioned. It has to be butt, though, right? Or maybe a combo of […]
And now, please enjoy this new music video for “Bad Motherfuckers” by Biting Elbows, directed by Russian filmmakers Ilya Naishuller and Sergey Valyaev. It’s POV. It’s crazy. Or, you are opposed to super crazy video-game style but IRL-looking violence, throat gutting and various other bang-bang-bang related injuries because you’re not desensitized by video games/your time in the […]
Bradley Hart takes bubble wrap and deliberately injects the bubbles with paint, creating portraits of Steve Jobs and scenes of Amsterdam. It’s remarkable how these jiggly little boils of paint can create such detailed results. That must have taken a lot of patience. The big question, though, is how does Hart resist the natural human urge to pop […]

“Welcome to TrustoLand.” For the latest issue of Mass Appeal, the good people of TrustoCorp headed to an abandoned theme park somewhere “between Barstow, CA and Las Vegas, NV” and did their thing.
