"Mercifully, there isn’t anything like the so-called self-made person. There were many people who helped to form me… and then, discovering that the Bible could be such dynamite - I subsequently used to say, “If these white people had intended to keep us under, they shouldn’t have given us the Bible, you know, because, whoa."

- Desmond Tutu, who is so surprisingly upbeat, delightful and almost childlike in the way he giggles, to Krista Tippett on her podcast “On Being” where they discuss, among many other things, how the Bible helped him better understand and endure apartheid

The NYT on Why Packers Fans Rule

The phone rang well after midnight in the Sports department. It was January 2008, and the Giants had beaten the Packers in overtime in the N.F.C. championship game.

A Packers fan was on the line, calling from a bar, after having had a few.

But he wasn’t angry. He was calling to congratulate the Giants and Giants fans. He said the Giants had won fair and square, had won the line of scrimmage, and on behalf of friends at the bar and of Packers fans, he wanted to wish the team well.

(He made a joke about not being so kind if the Vikings had beaten the Packers.)

Nothing like that phone call had happened in my time in our office and hasn’t happened since.

From the post titled “Are Green Bay Fans the NFL’s Classiest?”

"The Internet also makes it extraordinarily difficult for me to focus. One small break to look up exactly how almond milk is made, and four hours later I’m reading about the Donner Party and texting all my friends: “DID YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE DONNER PARTY AND HOW MESSED UP THAT WAS? TEXT ME BACK SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT!"

- Mindy Kaling, from her book, “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?”

Louis CK’s PayPal screen, and what he’s going with the money. To quote @mulegirl: “Attention social media strategists and marketers. This is what authenticity looks like. You can’t fake it.”

How cool. Louie also recently did a Q&A session on reddit that felt really genuine and so of course was hilarious. You can read highlights from that here.
