4. A fake Thought Catalog post from an animal's point of view that is very good

"How to Maintain the Illusion That You are a Hot, Confused Twentysomething, When in Actuality You Are a Gigantic, Bloodthirsty Grizzly Bear" is an essay — at least I think it's an essay? — that is so demented and weird it should be required reading. (Via Tumblr)

8. Mitt Romney likes Honey Nut Cheerios

Say what you will about the former GOP candidate, but he has great taste in cereal. (Via Twitter)
