Ahaha: When Cookie Met Sally. (With the "I'll have what she's having" bit, and this is why Sesame Street is the best.)

A bunch of my friends are in a fun webseries called Social Medium and they have a nifty new trailer!

My friend Carrie wrote a great piece about The Young and the Restless and soaps in general that made me want to go watch my soap of choice (Coronation Street).

The best possible response to that Victorian piece: I Love 2012. So I Decided To Live In It.

Here is a very long, very interesting interview with Robert Silvers, who has edited the New York Review of Books for fifty years.

Hummus Is Conquering America

I just love this sentence: "Hip-hop performance artist Riff Raff plays a Floridian art dealer named Jamie Franko, in a multi-layered meta reference to James Franco, who played a Riff Raff knockoff in Spring Breakers as well as a self-referential character in ABC's daytime soap General Hospital."

Ooh, read about the excavation of Cologne's medieval Jewish quarter.
