we’ll be back tomorrow, for now we’re busy screaming into the void about how terrifying the future looks.

“Hey I was hoping I could look at some New York buildings on other planets today.” This week in cultural tourism: let’s all check out a Slavic Muslim wedding. I love old movie marquees and I refuse to apologize for it. The 387…

I don’t care if you’ve already read too many Lemonade think-pieces, it’s time to read what Hilton Als has to say. Longstory short: Walt Whitman pretty much was a cooler Ron Swanson. Here’s that Japanese map of European stereotypes you…

It’s that time again! Time to talk about the actual stakes and misunderstandings of the vice-presidency. Where’s my underwater bridge to Gibraltar? All the turn of the century tornado pictures you could possibly be hoping for. I’m sure you’ve been…

Mapping the brain’s language filing system (is apparently a thing we can do). Here’s an adorable lil new distant moon for you. Perhaps you have wondered: sup with the rattle of peacock feathers tho? Where is the South Pole now?…

Do plants have memories? Maybe! Let’s talk about water taste. Now let’s go on a tour of a Stasi prison! What the world needs is a very tall wooden Swedish skyscraper. If we’re being honest here, I really just want…

Who doesn’t love a good street dog? Long lost color footage of David Attenborough’s first voyage (thanks great cool wonderful). Here’s your death defying Victorian balloonists story for the day. We all owe a deep gratitude to the World Instant…

If anyone needs me I’ll be looking through historical pictorial maps. Today in ants being amazing: ant life rafts! A little ruin porn for your Wednesday morning. Dinosaurs were probably already on their way out. Now let’s all hear it…

Great moments in librarians. Photographing wild Chernobyl (is a cool thing to do). Contrarian watch: are people really that much smarter than apes? Your coins are filthy, and that is beautiful. Your oceans are filled with plastic and it’s horrible…
