barthel: A Jake Tapper (!) piece from McSweeneys (!) in 1999 (!) speaks to point 4 of Maura’s “How Not To Write About Female Musicians: A Handy Guide.” This is seriously genius. And so applicable to like… everything: She doesn’t have tartar sauce. Just ketchup. She apologizes. That’s okay, I say. She asks me about writing profiles like this one. Is it fun? Is it interesting? Who else...

It's Slow Cooking Season
And I am really getting the most out of my meat. (That’s what I said! MEAT!) I made supremely delicious split pea soup using the chicken stock that I made last week from the chicken that I had roasted a few days before and the bones from the pork shoulder that I slow-cooked a few days ago. It’s true what they say: It really does taste better when you make your own stock.

John Tyler's Grandsons Are Still Alive!
laphamsquarterly: Shut UP, history! You are so crazy! mentalflossr: Born in 1790, John Tyler was our 10th President. He took office in 1841 after William Henry Harrison died. And he has two living grandchildren! Not great-great-great-grandchildren. Their dad was Tyler’s son. How is this possible? The Tyler men have a habit of having kids very late in life. Lyon Gardiner Tyler, one...

On Bloomberg and Burgers
So this 12-year-old (white) kid who goes to a (gifted) school on the Upper West Side got Shake Shack to offer a deal to the school’s students: $5 for a hamburger or a cheeseburger, and an order of fries. And the item on Eater says that Shake Shack is “interested in launching similar deals at other locations that are relatively close to schools.” So cute, right?  Yeah, well, can...

The Shit Nouns Say To Other Nouns Meme
lazybookreviews: I can’t do it. I do not have time or emotional bandwith for another meme. I just watch too much TV, you know? I have too many magazine subscriptions. I re-read too much YA fiction. I skipped Feminist Ryan Gosling! If I skipped Feminist Ryan Gosling, I am not making time for Shit Hamsters Say to Guinea Pigs. #iskippedfeministryangosling

Should Vanity Fair Be a Spelling Vigilante?
theawl: julioclock: vanityfair: Just as New York Times public editor Arthur S. Brisbane is concerned whether his newspaper should print lies or the truth, we here at V.F. looking for reader input on whether and when Vanity Fair should spell “words” correctly in the stories we publish. One example: the word “maintenance” seems like it should only have one “a” in it. It should be...
