British street artist Banksy is back. And so are repurposed versions of the iconic yellow traffic signs with a silhouetted family that line roads near the U.S.-Mexico border in California.
The first signs popped up near Camp Pendleton in San Diego, CA, the site of dozens of accidents where immigrants attempting to enter the country by crossing an interstate highway were struck by motorists.
The signs show three silhouettes sprinting across the frame — a father figure leading the way for his wife and daughter. They look like they’re running so fast that they’re leaning forward as if they were mid flight and about to take off in to the air.
Now Banksy has given the road signs new meaning by adding a kite to the design.
There's a deep connection between Frida's creative universe and her home, her "blue house". Today, Casa Azul is one of the most visited museums in Mexico City.

A popular way of extortion in México is threatening phone calls. These call centers of crime are usually inside prisons. Criminals will call random numbers and deceive whoever answers the phone into thinking a member of his or her family has been kidnapped, and then of course ask for money in order to release the victim.
There are loads of audio files online documenting real extortion calls, but this one stands out for being utterly hilarious. There's not much info about it, we only know a girl called Marcela completely fucks with so called Commander Miguel Angel Treviño Morales' head.

A set of pictures taken in Mineral de Pozos in Guanajuato, central México. It was considered a mining district in its heyday during the XIX century, with hundreds of operating mines and about 70,000 residents.
It's now known as a ghost town. These are some of its last vestiges.
