This is what a punched-in Monet looks like.

If you want to believe a story (insert underprepared Serial joke here), Andrew Shannon told the cops he “felt faint” before falling into the painting. But no missing Best Buy phone booth here, dear reader: Camera footage shows Shannon deliberately punching in the work, valued at ten million dollars.

I’ll tell you what: my eloquent pacifist nature aside, I would want something more than five years in prison for something worth that much. I would want, um…TEN MILLION DOLLARS.

“Art has been used to express feelings about every kind of situation…I was happy to be able to do something that helped the Brown family even in a small way. And it’s not over. It will never be over until black lives matter as much as white lives.” – Mary Englebreit

Photographer Sandro Miller uses John Malkovich as a subject for a new exhibition that honors some the artists that inspired his career. Just when I didn’t think I could love and cherish John Malkovich more for his classic SNL holiday monologue, this happens! Love, love, love.

Top to bottom: Malkovich as Che Geuvara and Muhammed Ali.

I wish I had more time in my day to spend surfing YouTube videos, so I’m sure thankful for friends that pass along gems like this. Rose is probably a.) the cutest thing ever, and b.) me in a former life. No question about it: Time travel exists.

I won’t delve into the details, but I’ve been studying the architectural marvels of Germany lately. With that said, the Brandenburg Gate’s quadriga is one of the most famous of quadrigas ever created: It’s manned stationed by Victory, and was once taken by Napoleon during his occupation in Berlin! The word can refer to the chariot alone, the four horses without it, or the combination. I know, thrilling.

Did you know that Apollo delivered daylight in a quadriga? Uh, duh! Fantasia, anyone?!

Actually though, how much this Klimt model look like Ygritte from Game of Thrones?!

Girlfriends mourning the weekend. I hear that.
