Maggie Lange · 08/16/13 02:07PMClapping for the Wrong Reasons, a short film written and produced by Donald Glover, is 24 minutes and 46 seconds of mysterious, confusing and cryptic visual non-sequiturs.

Is Roadkill the Next Big American Cuisine?
Camille Dodero · 08/16/13 12:10PM
The New York Times brings us an unusual update on America's growing acceptance of home-cooked roadkill. Earlier this year, Montana's state legislation passed HB 247, the "Roadkill Bill," a measure that allows people to scrape up a car-killed carcass—specifically antelope, deer, elk and moose—and eat the meat for dinner, provided they present the corpse to a peace officer within 24 hours of the animal's death.

Computer Opens Maximum-Security Inmates' Cell Doors All at Once
Tom Scocca · 08/16/13 11:35AMWhen all the doors popped open in the maximum-security wing of a Miami prison in June, it was supposedly a computer error. But surveillance video obtained by the Miami Herald showed a group of inmates immediately setting out of their cells on a coordinated attempt to stab an imprisoned gang leader, as if they had planned for the security system to fail when it did. Wired looks into the possibility that the near-miss shanking opportunity was created by a successful hack.
