Annette Jung of Berlin-based Talking Animals recently made this 30-second animation of Michael Jackson dancing, using only LEGOs. Complete with the Billie Jean outfit and those token weird breathing sounds of his, “Lego Dance” has all kinds of nostalgic appeal. …Familiar? […]

Design firm MGMT created this illustrated guide to NYC’s wildest wildlife. There’s the infamous @bronxzooscobra, Ming the Harlem tiger, and Sludgie, a depressingly named whale who got caught in the Gowanus in 2007 (this guy wasn’t the first, it turns out).
