That ish

Hello, INTERNET PEOPLE, people of the Internet, people who are unwelcome in certain discriminating Upper West Side cafes. I am here to remind you that today is (a) almost the weekend and (b) Oct. 3, a date notable chiefly for the memedom conferred upon it by the official Barack Obama Tumblr in 2012. Yep, that's right, we all learned something today. Now without further ado, the links!

1. Yelp and Michelin have the same taste. The "Yelpers and the Reddits" get a bad rap, but it turns out that the uncultured denizens of these here interwebs actuallyyyy have pretty good taste in food. Per Nate Silver, purveyor of fun and random stats, Yelp reviews of New York restaurants correlate closely with new ratings from the Michelin Guide. Take that, Amy Bouzaglo! (Let's watch that clip one more time.)

2. How a blonde, tattooed girl from Texas became an ISIS symbol. It's a tale of bad translations, lost contexts, and typical Twitter shenanigans -- lots and lots of Twitter shenanigans.

3. We are living in the age of digital infidelity. Like sexting and going Facebook official, this is all just part of #modern #love. Y'all gotta get used to it!

Elephant toy: 3. Dory: 0.
(Hey new subscribers, this is my dog. I GIF her every Friday. She is great.)

Pocketable: How domestic violence became a crime ... for victims. (7906 words/32 minutes)

Postscripts: Lime-aritas. Legit trolls. Lyft rebellions. Let her go!!!! Further proof that trolls are terrible and that froyo is great. This start-up is the future of cooking. This gadget is the future of trips. Today, in things that are booming: online drugs and ... blogs, I guess? (I wish I was a blogging "pioneer," I'll never have that ish!)

Enjoy the weekend! See ya Monday,
