The Atlantic never fails to disappoint. This parody of world leader’s Facebook statuses is great.
Plus, some other good reads from the site:

Football Now And Then is one of many sweet cartoons done by the great, and I believe still very frozen, Walt Disney. This little beauty came out in 1953. To illustrate the differences between Football Now and Then a grandfather imaginatively details a game between the Moderns and the Oldtimers.

Unknown facts about Schaedler Precision Rules
I was doing some important research this evening when I discovered two fascinating facts about every graphic designer’s favorite ruler company, Schaedler Precision Rules. (If you’re one of those people who like to read between the lines, this can be translated to “I was putting off work tonight and googling everything within arm’s reach – in this case Taro Yamashita, the designer of the common Schaedler ruler.”)
Anyway:
1 Schaedler offers 18″ rulers
[W]e’ve die cut interior slots to provide edge access to all four popular scales: Standard Inches, DTP Picas, Decimal Inches, and Metric Millimeters/Centimeters. The display includes Bullets, Bars and Ballot Boxes in a variety of sizes. And it can be very carefully cut into two separate 18″ rules if you don’t mind risking the sight of blood. Coated with a subtle greenish tinge. The color of envy.
2 They offer a killer replacement guarantee
If the markings on any Schaedler Rule have become worn or scratched, if a rule is accidentally stained or damaged, if you simply wish to exchange an old “B” rule, say, for a new “C” rule — or for that matter a 12″ rule for an 18″ rule, here’s what to do: Fold the old rule so it fits in an ordinary business envelope and mail it directly to Schaedler Quinzel, Inc., 1259 Route 46 E, #4J, Parsippany NJ 07054. [...] Include cash or check (sorry, no credit cards) in the amount of 50% of the current price of your desired replacement. The new rule will be shipped promptly at our expense.
Color me nerdly.
