Rat's Nest Week 13

Do not, under any circumstances, give me a cigarette after i’ve had a couple of drinks.

Enjoy!!!!

• Documentary Binge- watching Dancing for the Devil was a bit of a gateway drug for me back into documentaries. The Ashley Madison one (Netflix) is wild. In case you forgot, Ashley Madison is the website designed for spouses to cheat on each other. In 2015 they fell victim to a HUGE cyber attack where the hackers released information (names, messages, account status, etc) of who had an account on the site. MESSY.

• Madewell Says Gah- Madewell dropped a small collab collection with Lisa Says Gah and it’s all perfect for summer. My top pick are the denim shorts (they have a shell button!!!!!)

🚗 is it free? how far is it? should i just uber?

I started using Google Maps streetview to scope out the parking situation before I go somewhere. I don’t know how i ended up like this, i’m not proud of it. Also recommend Parkopedia for finding parking garages in cities (iffy on how accurate the pricing is, FYI).

👀 my bad guys

• Hotdog beef: will ‘greatest eater ever’ really miss Fourth of July contest? (The Guardian)- Joey Chestnut, American competitive eating legend, got banned from the annual Nathan’s 4th of July hotdog eating contest because of his partnership with Impossible foods. Nathan’s (hotdog brand) apparently isn’t down with the 16x champ snuggling up with plant based dogs. TLDR- it’s a cliffhanger on whether the uproar is enough to make Nathan’s change their mind and allow Joey to compete.

• Nick Jonas, Adrienne Warren Starring on Broadway in ‘The Last Five Years’ (Variety)- I’m sorry, WHAT? There is no good reason for a JoBro to be on Broadway. I object.

• Pat Sajak officially passes 'Wheel of Fortune' host job to Ryan Seacrest with Vanna White- Which makes this a great time to bring up that my Roman Empire is when Ryan Seacrest tried to high five a blind guy:

• Broccoli and Egg Fried Rice (Bon Appetit)- the perfect use of that rice from a couple days ago in your fridge + i love how customizable this recipe is (don’t like broccoli? almost any other veggie(s) will work)

Signing off while watching Paris Hilton’s Stars Are Blind pride performance,
