Emmys week is over and I think we could all use a nap. Before curling up and drifting off, please enjoy the following:
– In case you missed it, Heather and I went to the actual Emmys Red Carpet this year and wrote about it for The Cut. It was quite a hot, sweaty experience. (The Cut)

– This oral history of Cheers is really good. (GQ)
– Vulture is doing this awesome feature called Pop Culture Memory Lane, wherein people reminisce about interactions they had with celebs, partially animated (they’re videos). It’s quite a compendium of people — Morrissey was mean to John Cho, Casey Wilson accidentally kidnapped a dude from Rent, and my friend Eva ruined Dune author Frank Herbert’s visit to the Merv Griffin show. Check them out, they’re really neat. (Vulture)

– Smithsonian takes on Australia’s most famous cold case. (Smithsonian)
– This addendum to New York’s big Mindy Kaling profile makes me like Mindy even more. (Vulture)
