Got a bike? Don't get too attached to it.
Fascinating article about plant crime. Although it makes sense: people get obsessed with the widest variety of things, and the urge to steal a rare plant comes from the same place as the urge to bring a camera into a movie screening, I suspect.
Also interesting: this article on cruise ship food.

Found in the comments at The Toast: this is a great article about being a mixed-race kid growing up in South Boston.
Noted for the Localistas:

Because I get all my links from Metafilter and The Toast nowadays: The Cult of Connie Britton. Because Tami Taylor, that's why. Although I had no idea there was such a to-do about her hair.
Brown bread in a can! I miss this, although I fear that if I found some now it wouldn't be the same as when I had it as a child, toasted and smeared with cream cheese.
Yes, in fact, some people do still use pay phones.
Shit, these #gamergate guys are just firing randomly into the crowd at this point, aren't they? Do they know they're a joke yet?
