What’s in my Pockey Friday: Independence Day Edition

July 3, 2015 By AJ Leave a Comment

The Best of the web this week!

I save things in my pocket all week long and look forward to sharing the highlights with you every Friday!

Pocket enables users to save something they find online for later. I find it especially handy as a Google Chrome extension — I only have to click a button to immediately save something to my pocket. Once something is saved, the content is visible on any device — phone, tablet, computer, and even offline.

Best of the Web This Week - Pocket Fridays

  • This recipe for BROWN BUTTER ICE CREAM SANDWICHES sent me into another stratosphere.
  • I saw Magic Mike XXL last night with a hoard of friends. It was everything I needed it to be. This review is fabulous but be warned it has spoilers.

The Best of the web this week - Pocket Fridays

  • A great list from Thrillist – 22 Essential LA Apps.
  • Thrillist also broke down some stellar new restaurants and bars that just opened in LA.
  • I caught this video of Wil Wheaton discussing his struggles with anxiety disorder and depression. I thought it was authentic and wonderful. Snaps to the former Mr. Crusher.

And HEY! It’s Independence Day Weekend so here’s a special section dedicated to the upcoming Presidential Election! 

  • There are approximately eleventy billion people running for President and my favorite changes daily based on what idiot moment is trending in the news.
  • Ted Cruz thought his horrible Simpsons impressions would serve him well — Jon Stewart thought differently. I’m clearly going to have to record The Daily Show every night now.
  • Bobby Jindal, who announced his candidacy via nanny cam, had an embarrassing Twitter Q&A.
  • Donald Trump is basically pissing everyone off. Like, everyone. He’s second in the GOP poll but with more than a dozen candidates diluting the survey population, who gives a shit?
  • Marco Rubio is selling… (wait for it)… MARCO POLOS. Ted Cruz totally missed an opportunity to brand his coozies as CRUZIES, you guys. #FAIL

The Best of the web this week - Pocket FridaysEarlier This Week…

  • Facebook messed with their algorithm again.
  • I listened to Chris Pratt’s Nerdist Podcast episode. It’s stupendous. Listen to it.
  • I was mentioned in Deadline, which is weird but exciting.

  • Helpful: Ultimate guide to social media image sizes
  • Did anyone catch Jeff Ross’ latest Comedy Central special? It’s not only funny — it’s actually brilliant.
  • I was captivated by the Rachel Dolezal story. Awesomely Luvvie put it perfectly.
  • Zookeepers around the world are recreating Chris Pratt “Jurassic World” moments. It is glorious.

  • I don’t like to blog about politics but really, the GOP presidential candidate pool is out of control. We’re “this close” to an Oprah situation (please imagine Oprah at the convention podium shouting “YOU GET A PRESIDENT! AND YOU GET A PRESIDENT!….”) Best of all, Donald Trump has done late night hosts everywhere a huge favor by throwing his hat into the ring.

The Daily Show

 

  • A comprehensive guide to all of the best cookies in Los Angeles.
  • Have you heard of this? “MasterClass” offers amazing online courses – yours to download an keep for a reasonable price – by teachers like Dustin Hoffman, Serena Williams, James Patterson and Usher. Who doesn’t want to learn “The Art of Performance” from Usher?
  • Channing Tatum did a Reddit AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) and it was fantastic. Among the many revelations he offered were Matt Bomer’s eyes being made of “dreams and rainbows and amazingness” and that he absolutely loves Chili’s chicken crisps (I don’t blame him – they’re delicious).
  • SNL Head Writer Colin Jost has a little twitter feud with Time Warner Cable and it even earned press coverage. But I felt oddly proud since I follow Jost and actually watched it go down live. In fact….

Earlier This Week….

  • I had a Churro Ice Cream Sandwich for lunch.
  • I confessed some Twitter pet peeves.
  • The selfie stick won me over.
  • I had amazing sushi at Kifune in Venice.
  • A movie called “Stealing Cars” blew me away at LA Film Fest.
