Sesame Street was broadcast for the first time 40 years ago today, and has since become as intimately bound to American life as hamburgers and guns. As such, the show has had a perfect vantage to observe and lampoon most of the great cultural milestones of the last 4 decades (most recently, Mad Men) and [...]

When it comes to plants, and really all living things that we’re made to take care of, we usually just focus on keeping the thing alive, rather than worrying about how it looks, or whether we can morph it into the shape of something it is not. That’s why we’re in admiration of the sculptural [...]

Technically called the Metropolitan Police Service, it’s essentially the headquarters for the police force that oversees Greater London (as opposed to inner city London, whose surveillance falls to the City of London Police).

We realize steins are German, [...]

As you may recall, oh faithful readers, some time ago we posted a listicle of some of our favorite animated music videos, only to realize that there were innumerable entries we couldn’t include. Since then the ranks of animated musical short films have swelled so much that we are now happily able to present these [...]
