What’s better than Jimmy Fallon and John Krasinski? Jimmy Fallon and John Krasinski competing in a lip synching contest, that’s what.

Argh. I do not have the original source for this image…but it was too great not to post. Selfies have been going on way before there were even cameras…there’s something both reassuring and unsettling about our compulsion to recreate our own image. Oh man. This is getting too deep. Regardless, I love this.
A video by Joe Nicolosi and his mom has me IN STITCHES this morning. I guess Joe’s mom had never seen the Matrix so he asked her to watch it and then retell the story, in detail, resulting in this short video called “The Matrix Retold by Mom” and it’s too funny. I love everything about it.
The design snob in me is cringing as I post this somwhat-cheesy drawing, but the writer in me is laughing because it’s so well-done. I love the thinking behind this image of “vintage social networking.” I think the illustrator nailed it. My favorites are post-it notes as Tweets and the window as YouTube. Maybe we don’t really need all this social media after all.
Naw. I thought about it and I’m pretty sure we do.
Ok, Jennifer Lawrence, you’re out. Mila Kunis, you’re in. How charming is she as she helps this BBC reporter get over his stage fright in his very first interview? Read the story over on Gawker here.
Hannah K. Lee’s zine “Shoes Over Bills” perfectly articulates just how insanely expensive a shoe obsession can be. But how you still totally need cute shoes and it’s worth delaying the purchase of basic life staples like toilet paper and laundry. That’s what I took away from it, anyway.

Silly new Tumblr called Baseball Card Vandals.
I don’t know if I’m liking this new VW Beetle spot by Deutsch because I’m still high off the good vibes of their superbowl spot or if it’s because the TROLOLOLOLO song is in the background—which just—mad props to the creative team for getting that in there. Either way, I think the build is nice and the twist is cute.
These SVUtines by Brandon Bird are AHHHHH-mazing. Kind of mad I just found them now.
LOL, this moment during Weekend Update on SNL crushed it.
How to Ride an Escalator, by Helen Tseng. I love, literally, everything about this.
Rad and true.
