Stuff I found while looking around
– Dramatic Photos of California’s Historic Drought
– My boss Joan Rivers was like nothing you’d ever expect and like everything you probably imagined.
– A Facebook map of which NFL team gets the most Facebook “likes” in each county in the entire United States

– An Instagram feed wherein Jarod Allen recreates profile pics on Tinder. This one is a particular favorite of mine:
– A compilation of April insulting Ann from “Parks and Recreation”
– ‘Snowplow parents’ overly involved in college students’ lives:

College has always been, in part, an education in separation, a time of transitioning from adolescent to adult. But some administrators say they see greater parental involvement postponing that.
– Oh, America: The Best-Selling Car In Every State
– I could not possibly love this more: Game of Thrones – 60’s/Saul Bass style title sequence
…if you now suffer from fear of bunnies, fear of bubbles, fear of bathtubs; if there was disturbing bending, twisting, squishing noises; if there was extraneous clamping, rashing, tearing, minor penile electrocution; if you had to visit an emergency room to have a six-pound singing bunny surgically truncated from your loins—you may participate in the class action lawsuit
– I think I have a new assignment for Coco: Watch As People Flee In Terror From The Giant Mutant Spider Dog
– Classic First Lines of Novels in Emojis: A Quiz
