1. Last night's episode of
Parks and Rec featured what will definitely be one of the best moments of
P&R ever. Especially when Donna comes in.
2. The internet has gone too far: enter
Ty Morin's Kickstarter campaign "Friend Request: Accepted," which was made so that Morin can
actually get to know every single one of his Facebook friends by traveling around and taking old-fashioned portraits of them. He's already $2,000 above his funding goal. [via

Cindy Sherman will have a show within the show at the
Venice Biennale -- she plans to set up "a kind of doll's house or anatomical theater" and fill it with works by a mix of popular and unknown artists. Sherman is also pushing for unusual art objects to be in show, like dolls and puppets, mannequins and religious artifacts. We wish we could come visit. [via

WSJ profiled the
Rockaway Plate Lunch Truck, which offers hot, free meals in heavily damaged areas of the Rockaways. The truck was created by Mike D (of the Beastie Boys), Sam Talbot, Robert McKinley and John Rose. So far it's raised over $200,000 and will be running until the summer.

6. After
Kyle Smith wrote an (admittedly
douchey) article for the
Post about hating the New York dining experience, homemade signs have been put up around the city accusing him of "douchebaggery." Smith's main problems with the flyers are that they're not really funny, which we have to agree with. [via

7. Chicago Public Schools may be trying to ban
Persepolis, the graphic novel by
Marjane Satrapi -- about her childhood living in Iran and Paris in the years following the Islamic Revolution -- for "graphic language" and images. We certainly hope that doesn't happen. [via
