Nicole Byer’s podcast Why Won’t You Date Me is as funny as you’d expect. This woman does not ever disappoint and the world needs more of her. (Plex)

I really hope someone is generous enough to give these to the kids in our neighborhood. Parents deserve a treat too and cannabis candy is not cheap you guys.

Lana Del Rey took a social media break and has now released her new album Blue Banisters. If I stopped searching “why is Joel McHale hot” on Twitter all day I would also release an amazing album. (Plex)

“Munnlaney” is still going strong despite the rumors of their break up last week. (Complex)

B.J. Novak’s face appearing on random products is the The Office episode that never happened but we wish it did. (New York Times)

Hiking is stupid so I’ll never find myself stranded without service in middle of nowhere but for the rest of you, this viral “emergency tip” is not accurate. Also we have roads and cars for a reason. (AP News)

Meanwhile at my alma mater, UC Santa Barbara, a 97-year-old billionaire turned amateur architect donated $200 million dollars to the school on the condition that they follow his blueprint for an 11-story, windowless structure that will house 4,500 students exactly as it is. His goal is to force students out of their rooms so they collaborate with each other in common areas. Rich people are the worst. Just launch yourself into space like a normal billionaire already.

Brian Cox giving zero fucks and going off about celebrities in his new upcoming memoir is my new kink. (Pajiba)

This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

Gal Gadot and I are basically the same. She filmed parts of Wonder Woman while pregnant and I was also pregnant once. Twinsies. (The Gist)

I don’t think most people remember ever “delightedly flipping through the fresh pages of a new dictionary” as a kid. Can we stop with the “millennials are obsolete” conversation now? And I’m not just saying that because I’m an obsolete millennial. (LX)
