A truly Herculean task: rating every HBO show. Ever. Personally, I’d rank The Wire at #1, Veep would be in the top three for sure, and Game of Thrones at…like, last? I was not a fan and I’m beyond happy it’s over. (Vulture)

According to a “source close to” Kit Harrington, Kit has “nothing but pride for his decision” to enter rehab, and you know what? That’s a beautiful statement to read. I’m proud of him too. (Celebitchy)

I’m desperate to know how many babies Julia Roberts sacrifices to look this good because I’m concerned I’m not sacrificing enough. (Lainey Gossip)

Ugh. Lena *I’m sorry* Dunham *I’M SORRY* wants you to comment on her nude Instagram photo *I’M SO SORRY*. But. It’s for charity. I mean, OK, sure. But why can’t she just donate her own millions to the charity? (Dlisted)

I will never not link to a Sesame Street post. (GFY)

Lion King lied about the true nature of hyenas, and I am very angry about this. Apparently, they’re very cool animals. Just look how cuddly this one looks! I want one. (Ted Ideas)

R. Kelly is facing an additional 11 charges. Lock. Him. Up. (Buzzfeed News)

This article about how annoying Steven Pinker is contains the most annoying photo of a human being you will ever see. Tell me I’m wrong. (Current Affairs)

A fantastic long read case for abolishing the priesthood. (The Atlantic)

I’m going to sell this one with the title: “The Wealth Detective Who Finds the Hidden Money of the Super Rich” (Bloomberg)

If Friends was a part of your zeitgeist, Niki says you might be interested in I’ll Be There for You: The One About Friends by Kelsey Miller. "I found this book to be interesting, and I always love behind the scenes stories of how this series came to be." Niki watched it all through college and even had an official Friends mug. Was the Central Perk gang a part of your TV lineup? (Cannonball Read 11)

A tale in three parts:

If you are a member of Congress + leave, you shouldn’t be allowed to turn right around&leverage your service for a lobbyist check.

I don’t think it should be legal at ALL to become a corporate lobbyist if you’ve served in Congress.

Here’s something I don’t say often: on this point, I AGREE with @AOC Indeed, I have long called for a LIFETIME BAN on former Members of Congress becoming lobbyists. The Swamp would hate it, but perhaps a chance for some bipartisan cooperation? https://t.co/jPW0xkH2Yy

👏

.@tedcruz if you’re serious about a clean bill, then I’m down.

Let’s make a deal.

If we can agree on a bill with no partisan snuck-in clauses, no poison pills, etc - just a straight, clean ban on members of Congress becoming paid lobbyists - then I’ll co-lead the bill with you. https://t.co/AZTbmdSexv
