capitalnewyork: An opossum that rode on a D train early one morning last week might have been drawn by heat or the smell of food, an animal expert said. Nightmares. Also, waiting for the fake Twitter account for this guy… or, he had to make it from brooklyn to harlem in half an hour, and didn’t have time for the local.

fastcompany: For more than a decade, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority has treated the Atlantic as its very own graveyard, tossing thousands of old subway cars off a barge to rust away on the ocean floor. An environmental crime? Hardly. The program creates habitats for marine life from Georgia to Jersey and gives New York’s aging subway cars a vibrant (and free!) retirement home. Now, New York photographer Stephen Mallon has captured the MTA’s artificial reef program in a gobstopping collection of stills that look like what you’d get if you combined an Ed Burtynsky series with the freeze frames of The Matrix and the train porn of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (without the agro hostage situation). We’ve got lots of details on the program and a selection of Mallon’s photographs above. Check out the full slideshow over at Co. Design. wow. unreal.
