WWHD (What would Hemingway do)?: Ernest Hemingway would probably not qualify for Yelp Elite status. McSweeney’s
Pic of the Day: You like us, you really like us! Thanks to the folks at PubMatic for making us these tee’s. I know I got upset about the heart symbol in the OED and the “verb” “to heart,” but this is on a T-shirt, which is pretty much the only place that it’s acceptable. So thanks!
