Let’s unpack what’s happening here:
1.America’s beloved shark masterpiece bought someone’s Bed, Bath, & Beyond dorm necessities
2.We can all get to the point where we can laugh about our rehab stints with our dads on the internet one day
3.Ben Dreyfuss really, really loves SoulCycle (confirmed by the rest of his Twitter feed)
4.The guy who edits the “Smarter Living” section at the NYT has jumped into the fray!
5.Is “old Jews don’t ride bikes” the new “if not now when”???
