Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Page Will be Deleted on Facebook According to Hacker
A Taiwanese hacker has announced that he will hack into and delete the Facebook page belonging to Mark Zuckerberg this week, while live streaming the event. Chang Chi-yuan is a relatively well known hacker who describes himself as a bug bounty-hunter, meaning that he attempts to discover flaws in programs in return for money.
Chang’s statement announcing the hack didn’t give much away about why he was doing this, simply revealing that he was "broadcasting the deletion of FB founder Zuck’s account" and that it would be broadcast. The event is set to take place at 6PM local time, which is 11AM London time and 6AM in New York, on Sunday September 30.
In other Facebook news, Instagram’s founders quit the company this week amid rumors of a split with Zuckerberg.

Watch All the Antics From Dime Glory Challenge 2018
Back for its fourth year, the highly-entertaining skate competition by Dime took place on Sept. 15 in Montreal, Canada. The series of games included the notable Volcano Challenge, Gladiator Challenge and Speed Challenge, along with the Pyramid Challenge and Wall Challenge to test for a variety of skills. 50 contestants from around the world were selected via an algorithm to take place in the annual competition to compete for a sum of $1 million USD in cash prizes.

5 Books That Explore the Monstrous
I’ve written previously about gravity being monstrous. Above the clouds, gravity is that unreasonable force always waiting for someone to make a mistake. When thinking about monsters for Updraft, I wanted to explore variety and opposites. Not all monsters take a quasi-human form, not all devour (though some of the great ones do). I looked […]

A Peculiar Character From a Hieronymus Bosch Painting Comes to Life on the New York City Subway
Artist Rae Swon recently brought a fantastical creature from The Temptation of St. Anthony to life on the New York City subway. The triptych painting created by Hieronymus Bosch in the early 16th century includes a small, peculiar figure on the left-hand triptych (detail below). The character has bird-like facial features, and is wearing what appear to be ice skates and a funnel as a hat. After creating the modern-day costume using needle felting and other found materials, Swon took her character for a subway ride through Manhattan. More
Balloon Sculptures by Masayoshi Matsumoto Present Air-Filled Interpretations of the Animal Kingdom
Masayoshi Matsumoto (previously) continues to astound us with his balloon twisting skills. The Japanese artist uses a variety of opaque, metallic, and translucent balloons to form tree-swinging monkeys, beetles, and fish out of water. When asked how he plans each of his latex creations Matsumoto explained to Colossal that each work is decided intuitively, and is dictated by whatever he feels like making in the moment. Most often the works take 3-6 hours each, depending on how many folds and colors the animal or insect might require. More

Dinara Kasko (previously here and here) uses her background as an architect and 3D visualizer to produce geometric cakes that at first glance seem impossible to eat.

Recently, she has begun to sell these designs on her website to provide home pastry chefs the chance to try one of her stunning creations. More
