At Lainey: How did I not know that Britney has a new boyfriend? He’s 23!   These pics of her, him, and the kids at the Lakers game are hilarious. What is she wearing? At one point, she’s eating nachos? The kids are so big! I HAVE FEELINGS.

I’m kind of inspired by this, at Buzzfeed: I Tried Emailing Like A CEO And Quite Frankly, It Made My Life Better. I just need to warn Heather that all my emails will henceforth be curt.

At Refinery29: This Cardigan Has A 30,000-Person Wait List (Yes, Seriously). IT’S NOT THAT GREAT, GUYS.

So interesting, at The Atlantic: How the Index Card Catalogued the World. (I love index cards. They’re ALL we used when I worked in TV to plot out episodes.)
