This is the second best monkey-related video on the internet. How’s your Monday going, by the way? Yeah? Yeah, I know. And there’s snow. Not the fun kind. So here is a seriously cute monkey because BECAUSE. His name is “Vanya.” He’s a Russian monkey. He hops around and shit. Look at him eating snow! LOOK! […]
The above image comes from NASA’s Black Marble series of satellite photos, which caused quite a stir when it was released online last month–look at all the beautiful lights, the tiny cities! But as it turns out, one of those clusters of illumination isn’t a city at all; it’s an enormous cluster of fracking outposts, sending hundreds […]
After a year of legal purgatory following a bogus (if not career-enhancing) assault charge in London, crochet-bombing street queen Olek has finally returned to her old stomping grounds — and she’s wasted no time reacquainting New Yorkers with her work.

Creeping Garden is a new documentary produced, researched and directed by Tim Grabham and Jasper Sharp and it’s “a real life science fiction movie” featuring fringe scientists, artists and […]
Here’s a new favorite single-serving Tumblr for your entertainment: Baseball Card Vandals. The site takes baseball cards with no value and turns them into jokes with the aid of a Sharpie and some creativity. Even if you’re not a fan of the sport, you’ll be able to enjoy a third baseman altered to look like […]
Dripping faucets are a wasteful nuisance, but as this video shows, dripping fire hydrants are much, much worse. This video taken on Nelson Avenue in the Bronx shows how in this cold weather, a small leak over time can coat a large part of the street in ice. It’s rather fascinating (and dangerous).
