You want more of this BBQ porn? You’ve come to the right place.

Just shut my browser window really quickly because this made me feel NSFW feelings.

Yeah, so this just happened.

I don’t know

This ricin thing is secretly the greatest thing that ever happened to this guy.

You might be tempted to look at this guy’s face while he’s singing. Don’t do it. The male news anchor’s face is anguished poetry in motion.

NPR’s tearing down the D.C. building anyway. Might as well take it down piece by piece. (at NPR Headquarters)

Oh man, I’d kill for that MF Doom lunchbox.

The way he just runs away at the end gets me every time.

Last night I joined Ali at the wedding of his boss’s, neighbour’s, daughter’s wedding in Spandau, with approximately 380 guests. Ali met me at the cafe after my shift and we left from there, and this is what he wore!

This is the best Tumblr, so we should all stop trying.

I wonder which Supreme Court Justice is in charge of counting how many people changed their Facebook profile picture today.

Pretty sure it’s Clarence Thomas. He rarely talks because he’s so busy counting.

The 7 Stages of Reddit Addiction

I don’t think this is the best article I’ve written, but it’s definitely blown up the fastest.

I’ll admit that the “X as Drugs” game is a little tired, but I also wanted to write this as a description of my own personal pattern of Reddit use. I went through pretty much all these stages: I was obsessed with Reddit for a long time, then one day I was just sick of everything about it. I’ll pop back in occasionally now, but at the moment, I’m pretty firmly in the “Recovery” stage.

One of my 2013 resolutions was to stop visiting Reddit. Haven’t regretted it a single time.

The creepiest thing ever is when someone says, “thanks for the laugh.” If the laugh isn’t the thanks then what are you doing?

Nothing beats locksmiths that leave their card wedged into your front door. It’s like I DIDN’T BUT I COULD HAVE.

Never thought of locksmith cards this way before. Never again will be able to not think of locksmith cards this way.

drinkyourjuice:

Today is my last day at the Huffington Post, and this is the last selfie that I take from the newsroom while a lot of people watch and lean out of the frame without ever verbally acknowledging a photo’s being taken.

Monday I start working over at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with my bud Marina and I’m very, very excited. I’ll be blogging for them. And socialing. And making web content.

The second interview for the job was with Jimmy himself, and while we talked about lobsters and lentils and Shania Twain and I got the feeling that, “I think they’re going to pick me,” I was surprised by how calm I was. Yes, this is a thing. Yes, I can do it.

The past year and a half has been dope — I’ve gotten to move to a city I love and pay my bills and write about comedy on the internet every day for a living — and today feels a lot like graduation. I had a first job and now I will have a second job and I guess I’ll just continue having jobs until I retire or die. I’ve officially set both feet firmly into this era of my life.

I listened to a Third Eye Blind album with the windows down in my ‘93 Camry on the way to my high school graduation while I screamed the lyrics and caught my own eye in the rearview at red lights with my stupid cap and gown. Here was a graduate. Here was a woman and not a child. I still can’t hear any of those songs without becoming 18 again a little bit. Without getting a quick heart and some fluttery lungs and having the muscle memory chemical recreation of what it was to be untested and unknowing but so, so ready to do something bigger.

A similar thing happened at my college graduation when B.o.B’s “Airplanes” (feat. Hayley Williams) inexplicably leapt into my brain as I was crossing the stage, and in the two or three times I’ve heard it playing in a Duane Reade since 2010, I’ve felt sentimental (gut me).

Today has a little bit of that for me. Not just in a “be careful what you listen to” way, but in the sense that I have an empty backpack that I get to fill with the contents of my desk and I have my last coffee from the coffee machine and I have my last emails to reply to and then it’s on to the next. And the next and the next and the next. It’s a first in a time in my life where it feels like there aren’t a ton of firsts left to conquer. First exit interview. First goodbye drinks.

Anyway, today I’m doing something I’ve never done before, and then Monday I’m going to do something I’ve never done before again, and the momentum is beautiful.

Really feelin’ this post right now. A little more than 3 years ago I quit my job as a consultant with no clue what came next. I moved to NYC in January of 2010 with aspirations of finding some way to write for a living. Within a year, somehow, I was writing full-time and getting a paycheck to do it. Now, almost 3 years to the day later, I’m leaving a great job at Forbes to start another adventure as a staff writer in Contagious‘ small NYC office. Tomorrow’s my last day at Forbes, and come Monday I’ll be in a new place, doing new things. Feels great.
