Happy Friday!
Promising news: Twitter is working with an advocacy group to investigate the harassment of women
There's a new Into the Woods trailer, and . . . fine. I'm in.
If your Friday could use twenty minutes of pure delight, I highly recommend I Ship It, a romantic comedy set in the world of wizard rock, by Yulin Kuang, who's making a good case for become The Nora Ephron of My People. It stars Mary Kate Wiles of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Sean Persaud of Shipwrecked Comedy, and Joey Richter of StarKid. (If none of those words made any sense to you, you might not entirely get this, but it will still be funny and adorable.)
Ooh: Vlogbrothers Bring “Crash Course” Videos to PBS Digital Studios
I read this oral history of Sports Night and now I need to rewatch the entire show immediately.
OPI has Peanuts nail polish and I want "WHO ARE YOU CALLING BOSSY?!?" with every fiber of my being.
Speaking of things I want, look at this Rainbow Brite bib necklace.
20 Style Tips On How To Wear a Plaid or Flannel Shirt I didn't necessarily realize this was a difficult subject requiring 20 tips, but this is absolutely speaking my language.

Happy Friday!
Austen fans, make sure you don't miss Death Comes to Pemberley starting on PBS this weekend. I have a lot of feelings about Matthew Rhys as annoyed!Darcy.
And here's a hilarious Pride and Prejudice refresher to go with it.
Look, footage from Into the Woods with people actually singing! I remain blithely optimistic, and fairly sure that just Chris Pine singing "Agony" will be worth the price of admission anyway.
YAY: Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski have been promoted to lead figure skating broadcast team for NBC for the 2018 Olympics.
Here's a trailer for the Hallmarkiest Hallmark movie ever. Christmas! Kittens! Hot firefighters! Brandon Routh!
15 Awesome Bookish Jack O’Lanterns
Fascinating: How the Met hangs tapestries
Hee: The organic genderless gingerbread debate
"I’m sure they’re not even aware of the latest technology in the mason jar pinterest scene."

Here's my weekly TV news summary.
I don't know how I missed this Into the Woods trailer, but I'm super excited. And there's a creepy poster, too.
I don't always agree with Todd VanDerWerff, but he's always worth a read, and this is a good list of fall shows to watch and avoid.
Vox's Election Forecast hub is shiny.
Geeks have become their own worst enemies
Confession: This is the sort of thing that makes me clutch my pearls.
The New "Werewolf Cat" Highlights The Complicated Ethics of Breeding

John Green was on The Colbert Report and it was great.
Awesome: "One of the nice perks about being president is that anybody will hand you their baby. I get this baby fix 2 or 3 times a week."
Update: Into the Woods changes possibly less terrible than previously reported.
Oh good: Judge Upholds Policy Barring Unvaccinated Students During Illnesses
The Supreme Court doesn't understand software, and that's a problem
"David Glowacki, a theoretical chemist, was forcibly ejected from a performance of Handel’s Messiah last week when he attempted to crowd surf."
Heh, this is perfect: The Convoluted Calculus of Rating Books
There's a quidditch documentary coming!

Morning Coffee (6/19/14)
(I feel like Thursday is "everything is terrible" day because I'm always worried about having enough happy links for Happy Friday. Oops!)
Isis breach of Iraq-Syria border merges two wars into one 'nightmarish reality'
Oh, but this is good: In Landmark Decision, U.S. Patent Office Cancels Trademark For Redskins Football Team
A difficult but important read: This Is How A Domestic Violence Victim Falls Through The Cracks “The question you’re asking me is what’s wrong with the courts,” [the sheriff] said. “I’m asking you, what’s wrong with the women?” Yeah.
I knew very little about this: The Most Discriminatory Law in the Land
"Could your Strong Female Character be seamlessly replaced with a floor lamp with some useful information written on it to help a male hero?"
I Am Not Your Manic Pixie Bookworm (By my British doppelganger Kaite Welsh!)
Juan Carlos is retaining his immunity. Interesting.
That thing going around about how many immigrants are on the U.S. World Cup team? False.
Did Disney, like, see Into the Woods before deciding they were going to make a movie and then changing it all? (At this point, I'm basically just here for Chris Pine doing "Agony.")

I really like a lot of this supposed casting for the Into the Woods movie, but Johnny Depp as the wolf? Really? Sigh.
Great read: Pretentiousness Bingo
Fascinating: A Day Inside Comic-Con's Hall H
Various people give advice to the new Prince of Cambridge.
J.K. Rowling on her Galbraith alter ego
Royal baby pizza!
And cake!
And my favorite non-baby-obsessed Brit weighs in on why all the "this baby is everything wrong with the world" nonsense annoys him anyway.
