Maybe the greatest completely random thing that has happened online recently: Anthony Bourdain gets bored and live-tweets iCarly. [DailyDot]

Author Nathan Englander reads the short story "The Story Of My Dovecote." This is the kind of thing the internet should bring you much more often than it does. [The Guardian]

If it slipped by you yesterday, check out Andrew Sullivan's explanation of why he's leaving The Daily Beast and going independent, hoping to be supported by subscriptions directly from readers. [The Daily Beast/The Dish]

Helpful, from The A.V. Club's Nathan Rabin: a Kanye West primer. [The A.V. Club]
