- A dating site for people live in the country. Because city folk just don’t get the farmers. So weird. (And also, apparently old news. Whatev’s. I just discovered it.) [Farmers Only]
- Here’s Jerry Saltz on the new Whitney Museums, and more generally museum culture, and museum building. It’s a long sprawling piece, but my favorite stuff is on the Whitney itself: “Let’s start with the building. I don’t care what it looks like. It’s “likable enough,” but my only concern as an art lover is with the inside of museums. Were I to judge the new Whitney exterior, I’d say it looks like a hospital or a pharmaceutical company.” I’m not convinced their architect Renzo Piano is all that, but yeah, it’s what’s inside that matters.

- Choire Sicha writes that Jon Ronson’s ‘So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed’ would have been better handled by a woman. The money quote: But the actual problem with the Internet isn’t us hastily tweeting off about foolish people. The actual problem is that none of the men running those bazillion-dollar Internet companies can think of one single thing to do about all the men who send women death threats.

- 20 plus asshole cats shamed for their misdoings. Very, very funny. [Bored Panda]
- So good: The Triumphant Rise of the Shitpic. This came out in December (and much of the links below aren’t recent either) but if you haven’t read them, do so immediately. [The Awl]
