Truth in advertising: Your bedtime reading for Monday is Dashka Slater’s #longread on what happened when a biologist discovered that a top-selling herbicide can cause frogs to change gender. (Yes, this was sort of a plot twist in Jurassic Park.)

FORTUNE: Not exactly counterfeit →
Foreign contractors make more products than they’re supposed to then sell the excess out the back door. New Balance found out just how hard it can be to shut down the “third shift.”
This article is 5 years old and still very relevant.
Hark! A Vagrant (on Tumblr) →
Kate Beaton has a Tumblr blog! It’s not the one that syndicates her comic Hark! A Vagant. It’s stuff she finds interesting and uses as sources. A nice supplement to the sketches she posts on Twitter.
I can’t wait for the Republican nomination to be secured so Ron Paul supporters can go back to not voting.

But If We Started Dating It Would Ruin Our... →
I really like you. I do. You’re so nice, and sweet, and you listen to all my problems and respond with the appropriate compliments. But, well, I don’t really see a relationship in our future. It would be terrible if we let sex destroy this great friendship we have where I get everything I want and you get nothing you want. Don’t you think?

Coyote Tracks: Paypal: feel the love →
chipotle:
You’ve probably read about (or even felt) the anger over Paypal “stealing money” from Regretsy, which is only the latest in a series of things they’ve done that have pissed the Internet off. I suspect, given the attention this is getting, they’ll fix this. (Unlike them cutting off Wikileaks,…

Forget the pepper spray over Xboxes. This is a near-riot over $2 waffle-makers.
We can’t. Even. It looks like a frigging live-action Bruegel painting. This is okay, but sitting in a park protesting Wall Street is a threat to civilization, right?
