Ask the Pilot has a fantastic rant about garbage. Seriously, those single-use flossers are a global litter phenomenon.

Everything that's coming next for Hamilton.

My new favorite thing to laugh at: Ad Supplement (making fun of the New York Times Magazine ads).

This was big news in the UAE papers: an Emirati man was attacked by police in the US because a hotel clerk reported him as being on the phone with ISIS (or something). The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs has since advised its citizens not to wear national dress (kandura/abaya etc.) when in the US.

I loved this profile of President Obama's alone time.

I am mesmerized by a new series going on at BCC about the plural wives of a Utah pioneer. Part 2 is here and from there, you can read parts 1 and 3 so far.
