3. Tumblr of the Week: Menswear Dog

Why read GQ when this shiba inu does it better?

4. Henry Blodget flies economy

"It's really cool to trash airline food, but this just wasn't that bad," writes a reflective Blodget. "That was a very pleasant surprise. Most flights don't have food anymore." Ugh, brilliant?
