LOL just sneaked into an op-ed in America’s paper of record. The French novelist Michel Houellebecq, author of several society-satirizing books, wrote a piece for the New York Times on the failures of French leadership following the recent attacks in Paris.

Just in time for Halloween, here’s another vermin-eats-food-themed costume to take the wind out of pizza rat’s sails. Redditor connierubirosa has snapped what they deem the “most New York Photo” they’ve ever taken, words likely uttered by other notable urban life photographers.
