I don't even have a TV*, but the advertising and word-of-mouth is sufficiently pervasive that I still know it's Shark Week on Discovery, so there was no way I could lose the opportunity to post with this userpic.

And as long as I'm at it, here's a few excellent links:

Amazing sculptor whose medium is pencil tips. It's kind of mind-blowing.
The Manhattan borough president, who, like a typical New Yorker, does not leave the city for anything, will marry in Connecticut due to NY not yet recognizing same-sex marriage.
My friend (and former co-star) 28bytes was in the paper for the release of his new awesome game for the Atari 2600: Duck Attack! (Yes, Atari 2600. Check it out!)
Old, but I've had it open in a tab for over a year, I think. One of my favorite Onion bits ever, particularly of amusement if you're a fellow puzzler.
Tear-inducing story from Children's Hospital about treating transgenders kids, and one kid's story in particular.

[* ETA: Just to be clear, since too many people I know believe it somehow elevates them, the fact that I don't have a TV in no way makes me better than you. It's just a random factoid that had relevance there. The things that make me better than you are of far greater substance.]
