The residence for sale in Towson has three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and a two-car garage on a half-acre lot near a golf course.

The house at 600 Lake Drive was used as the home of Beverly Sutphin, the knife-wielding homemaker portrayed by Kathleen Turner in the 1994 movie “Serial Mom,” written and directed by filmmaker John Waters.

The house appears in the opening scene and throughout the movie as other members of the Sutphin family go about their daily lives, oblivious to Serial Mom’s penchant for making obscene phone calls, devouring crime novels and killing people who get on her nerves. Now it’s ready for a new family.

The listing agent for the Serial Mom house is Alex Hodges of Cottage Street Realty in Northern Virginia and is priced at $630,000. What a killer deal!

Reporters Without Borders, MediaMonks and DDB set to create in Minecraft a space dedicated to the freedom of the press, and exposing press censorship. Building a giant library inside Minecraft which contains censored journals and articles, banned in several countries, thus bypassing press censorship in oppressive regimes.

24 builders from 16 countries collaborated to create the huge virtual library, which houses information on all 180 countries in the press freedom index, as well as special exhibition halls on 5 countries notorious for their press censorship: Russia, Vietnam, Mexico, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, honoring journalists who have been silenced. It is hosted on a server, allowing anyone from around the world to visit, regardless of censorship in their respective countries.

It houses several sculptures depicting the power of information for all the people. So cool! Check out the video above!

The claims and conspiracy theories surrounding the launch of 5G networks have been shocking. In the most extreme cases, people linking the technology with the coronavirus pandemic have torched mobile phone masts and assaulted engineers.

In an attempt to get to the bottom of it, VICE speaks to Dr David Robert Grimes, a cancer researcher and physicist at the University of Oxford, to find out if there are any grounds for these claims and to hear his explanation of the symptoms some people are attributing to the rollout of 5G.

We also meet people protesting against the implementation of the new generation of cellular networks to hear the ways that they claim it is negatively impacting their lives.

Check out VICE’s mini-doc on 5G above! Thotz?
