IKEA Monkey1) This is amazing and I need to make more money. This just sounds like a fun and totally frivolous way to spend money but also sounds totally practical? Kind of? Like, people build huge pizza ovens, why not your own hibachi? 2) I do love Tyrese and 3) Aziz's brother is named Aniz and this news just made my day
Aziz Ansari is pretty much having the greatest week ever. First, his hit Netflix show Master of None won Best Comedy at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards. Secondly, Ansari got to experience a longtime fantasy of his—the chance to dine at Tyrese Gibson’s personal, in-home, Benihana-style restaurant. This is a very real thing and it is called Gibsihana.
IKEA Monkey1) This looks like a really great weekend brunch recipe and 2) The story that the author nestles in with the recipe is really, really great

The number of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally is at its lowest in more than a decade and, for the first time in years, has probably dropped below 11 million.
A new study by the Center for Migration Studies estimates that 10.9 million immigrants are living in the country without authorization....

“New York City Is Going Crazy Over These Insane Next-Level Milkshakes,” proclaims a BuzzFeed post posted yesterday, which already has over a million views. I too am going crazy over these milkshakes, because they are abominable. They are the Melania Trump of food options and they are so extra I want to die.

IKEA MonkeyWendy's does fast food pretty well. I'd be interested in seeing this roll out. More places should have vegetarian options other than fries.
IKEA Monkeyholy shit, I saw a guy wearing this badge on a jacket the other night at the train station.
Perhaps you remember a time, two years ago, when the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office released its new mission logo, an enormous tentacled monster covering the earth with its sucker-lined legs. Perhaps it reminded you of a comic-book villain from your youth. Perhaps you were only vaguely familiar of the NRO before then, and have since come to think of them only as “the scary octopus guys.” Now, thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request by security researcher Runa Sandvik, highlighted at MuckRock today, we know a bit more about how the scary octopus logo came to be.

Four months after releasing the pop explosion of Art Angels—our fourth favorite album of 2015—onto the world, Canadian artist Grimes has deployed a new music video in support of the album. This time, she’s taken a grab bag of nerd-heavy pop culture references and memes—superheroes, Mad Max, Law & Order, and Dark Souls, just to name a few—loaded them into a shotgun, and fired them (along with a bunch of random cosplay clothes) at the screen, while the electronic-heavy “Kill V. Maim” plays underneath. We can only assume this is part of some kind of elaborate plan to tempt nerds onto the dancefloor, where their frail, weak bodies will be subjected to the song’s endlessly danceable rhythm. (Or Grimes just took a bunch of crap she liked and tossed it in a video, along with a bunch of dancers who look like they come ...

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been named the world’s Top International Movie Star by Deadline.com. The Rock dominated this category back in 2013, slipped out of first place for a year, and then came roaring back with a combined box office earnings of $1.48 billion. That’s a little more than one Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Johnson took to Instagram to celebrate:
Only way to start this post is with THANK YOU. WORLD’S #1 INTERNATIONAL BOX OFFICE STAR. I was blessed with this title in 2013 and now again in 2015. $1.48billion is a lot of revenue to generate in our business in only one year, BUT it’s also the important reminder that regardless of what we achieve in life, we always gotta keep striving for more, staying hungrier than the rest and being grateful around every corner. This cool global achievement doesn’t happen without my amazing family, management, agents, attorneys, publicists, financial management, studio partners, fellow actors, Team Rock and the final two deserving personal shout outs – my dog #HobbsTheBeast and you… THE greatest f*cking fans in the world. Stay hungry and keep working your ass off because one day I want to see the news write a cool report about you and YOUR accomplishments. #LetsGetToWork #ChaseYourGreatness #SevenBucksProductions #1WorldWide #TimeForACheatMeal
The Rock has a number of films in the pipeline, including two Journey to [Someplace] sequels, a Fast and Furious sequel, Disney’s Moana, and, of course, Baywatch. WWE will also be looking to capitalize on this (and also make up for their injury-riddled current roster) in April when he’ll appear at WrestleMania 32.
I know we’re all very impressed by him being in roughly seven billion movies a year, but I’m way more curious about that hashtag cheat meal. I mean, he legitimately eats ten pounds of food a day when he sticks to his diet, how on Earth could he possibly eat more??
IKEA MonkeyThis movie is SO GOOD
Every day, Watch This offers staff recommendations inspired by the week’s new releases or premieres. This week: We greet the hostile extraterrestrial visitors of The 5th Wave with more movies about alien invasions.
When The A.V. Club reviewed Attack The Block in 2011, critic Nathan Rabin described John Boyega’s lead performance—as a small-time gang member from the South London projects named Moses—as “potentially star-making.” In a way, it was: Directed by first-timer Joe Cornish, Boyega’s debut film earned positive reviews and the kind of cultish fandom enjoyed by producer Edgar Wright’s oeuvre, which made Hollywood take notice. He appeared in the miniseries revival of 24, was being considered for the new Terminator movie, and there was even talk of him appearing in the upcoming Star Wars movie. Flash forward a few years and more than a billion dollars later ...

You may know the shofar as a musical instrument of Jewish antiquity, traditionally blown in synagogues during Rosh Hashanah—but did you know that right now, in the frozen hinterland of the Pacific Northwest, the Oregon militiamen are blowing the HORNS OF FREEDOM as we speak?
IKEA MonkeyIts a huge bummer he may not be coming back to the Bulls. He's a great player and one of the most fun athletes to watch, on and off the court.
With a goofy grin as identifiable as his man bun, Joakim Noah hugged his mother, Cecilia Rodhe, after carrying the Bulls on a gimpy foot to a Game 7 victory over the Nets in Brooklyn during the 2013 NBA playoffs.
"I love you, Mommy!" Noah said after unleashing a primal scream that echoed inside...

Golden Globe winning actress Lady Gaga is nominated for an Oscar this year for the song “Til It Happens to You,” which she co-wrote with Diane Warren for the documentary The Hunting Ground. But not everyone thinks Gaga actually helped write it! By “not everyone” I mean “everyone but Linda Perry.”

If you're keeping tabs at home, this is the third video I've posted to kottke.org featuring self-destructing washing machines. While not quite as good as this one -- "it seems as though the washer is attempting to turn into the Picasso version of itself" -- there's a sublime moment where this chaotic neutral washing machine seemingly defies gravity by hanging in the air like Michael Jordan.

Oregon militia spokesman Robert “LaVoy” Finicum told OPB that the four foster children who had been living with him and his wife on their Chino Valley, Arizona, ranch have been taken away. “I hope people are seeing the sacrifices we’re making here,” he said.
IKEA MonkeyFor as much as I dislike Kirstin for personal reasons, I like this dress on her.
The fashion credit I saw for this was “Karl Lagerfeld,” and not “Chanel,” but someone in our comments ID’d it as Chanel, so… Chanel it is now.

The Critics’ Choice Awards managed a MUCH more interesting nominee list than I had anticipated — I mean, we had winners like Andre Braugher, Rachel Bloom, Constance Zimmer, Jesse Plemons, (LANDRY!), Master of None, Carrie Coon… There’s something great about a show where you actually KNOW WHO VOTES IN IT (more or less) and they (more Read More ...IKEA MonkeyI got tickets!!

IKEA MonkeyMelissa McCarthy is seriously channeling Kate Middleton with her face and hair, and something else entirely with that dress, which looks very pretty in style but the pattern is insane.
Cross the Critics’ Choice Awards off your calendar and count yourself one more baby-step closer to the long, grueling k-hole that is the Academy Awards broadcast: we’re bringing this sucker home. Sunday night’s event brought out a gaggle of A-listers, perhaps because it’s the only remaining awards show still willing to honor the “Best Reality Show Host” award to James “Actor’s Studio” Lipton. Who says the world doesn’t need critics?
Based on the photo above, this is a show about men wearing wigs! [
