The shadowy cabal that is the Unicode Consortium announced this week plans to add 38 new emojis in 2016, including a cucumber, a scooter, an impregnated red dress-dancing lady, clinking glasses, a dude shrugging, a clown, and some other stuff.

Biggest Mess of the Week
Best Reason to Keep Your ReceiptsThis
week the Internet took delight in beef between Tidal overlord Jay Z and
superstar performance artist Marina Abramovic, which actually
(embarrassingly) ended up just being a complete misunderstanding.
Abramovic, who was originally upset at Jay Z for not donating to her
Institute after she helped with his "Picasso Baby" PR stunt. However, it
turns out his producer had a receipt and thank you note from the
Institute...it was just that no one on her end had bothered to tell her.
Oops. Read about the full saga here. -- Sandra Song

Best Musical Clip of Peter Dinklage
Surprisingly not on Game of Thrones! Instead, as part of Red Nose Day, Dinklage sang an upbeat track about Tyrion's survival, pretty much dancing on the grave of the deceased Starks, Baratheons, and even Lannisters. --Eric

Most Explicit Explanation of the Mad Men Finale
No, showrunner Matthew Weiner did not come right out and "explain" the "meaning" of the Mad Men series finale at a Q&A with novelist A.M. Holmes at the New York Public Library. But in his positive comments about both Don Draper as a character and the Coca-Cola ad that Don may or may not have produced, he made his own interpretation more than clear. Whether you buy it or not is up to you. --Eric
