How you know the hipsters won

For years, Obama denied even the smallest smidge of an interview to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. But today he appeared on, ahem, Zach Galifianakis’ sometimes-funny web series “Between Two Ferns.” I’d be mad if it weren’t so funny. Onward:
1. The Internet turns 25 tomorrow, per some arbitrary determination from Pew’s Internet Institute. Accordingly, the Internet is already seeing some lovely reflections on … itself! So when did the Internet first shock you? It continues to shock me, honestly.
2. Jimmy Kimmel, noted comedian and single-handed ruiner of viral videos, has some thoughts on his stunts work and the future of TV.
3. What can a barista teach us about economics, gentrification and cultural change? If that barista is Molly Osberg, writing a brilliant personal essay over at The Awl, the answer is -- quite a lot!

What you got against nerds, Barack?!

Some universal GIFs. Did millennials really need their own week? Did “badassery” need its own M-W entry? Selfie cities. Celebrity AirbNbs.

Until tomorrow! @caitlindewey
