Tess Lynch, who writes a wonderfully imaginative Tumblr, authors some fantastic pieces on U.S. pop culture for Grantland.

The fact that 911 calls somehow fall under the public-record umbrella is very strange. It completely compromises the utility of a 911 call — to provide every bit of essential information to authorities in an emergency.

Snorted 50 baby aspirin and dumped absinthe into your eye on a dare? That’s why we’re here, stupid victim!

And a great piece on our obsession with cooking shows, in which she integrates this (fascinating) fact. Read it now to find out how! (sOoOoOoOo enticing, I know)
