The Great Azealia Banks/Angel Haze Twitter War of 2013, which no one quite understands but appears to have started today over a seemingly innocuous tweet from Banks, has already produced its first diss track: Angel’s fiery, hilarious “On the Edge.” For a song that must have been banged out in hours or less, this thing […]
Let’s play a game. Not that kind. Put your pants back on… What is that contraption called?… Hmm. Now zip ’em and focus. Flip trough this gallery of NYC’s kink community that Danny Ghitis is working on. For his project The Fetlife (Sup, Flavorwire?), Ghitis went beyond photographing various deviants in their natural environments — dungeons and swinger’s clubs and whatnot […]
“The smartphone is the 21st-century pet, and we are just making that crystal clear with Hatch,” says the creator of your new favorite app, of the way we shower attention on our iPhones. “A great pet relationship is already there, and we’d like to bring that out.” And how do they play on doing that? […]
Our favorite London-based miniature installation artist Slinkachu has kicked off the new year with a little souvenir he left in Moscow’s Gorky Park. His latest piece titled “Stroll,” much like it’s predecessors, was left subtly around.

Even when she’s not slithering around naked covered in glitter, I’ve been transfixed with this creature ever since she took the world “slut” back or something like that.

“It’s not a fad… it’s a NIGHTMARE.” And it has dubstep. DUBSTEP!!!!!!! Dear Navy. Thank you very much for creating this very dramatic music video, about the dangers of said “bath salts.” It doesn’t mention any real particular specifics, but it is very ominous-like. Anyway, “bath salts.” You will eat a person’s face! Only not really. But you will freak out […]
In Martin Adolfsson’s photos, what looks like a real estate listing or furniture catalog photograph is actually something very different. Adolfsson has been shooting suburban model homes–those prefab facades made famous by Arrested Development–for the past six years, around the world in an effort to “describe the economic and cultural homogenization that is now occurring […]
According to this very nifty map the Gothamist found, the zip code 11221 has experienced the biggest number of reported rat sightings in 2010 through 2012 — a whopping 965 number of reports, nearly ten times the number of reports on the Upper East Side. We’re guessing it’s not the regular rat-sized rats either. Most of us don’t bat […]
John McCourt is a recent Manhattan transplant and self-professed “Starbucks addict” who, for whatever reason, has taken it upon himself to visit every overpriced espresso outpost in the city.
