Now for our regularly-scheduled link round up:
"The animated series Adventure Time, now entering its sixth season on Cartoon Network, is the kind of cult phenomenon that's hard to describe without sounding slightly nuts. It's a post-apocalyptic allegory full of helpful dating tips for teen-agers, or like World of Warcraft as recapped by Carl Jung. It can be enjoyed, at varying levels, by third graders, art historians, and cosplay fans. It's also the type of show that's easy to write off as stoner humor, which may be why it took me a while to drop the snotty attitude, to open up and admit the truth: Adventure Time is one of the most philosophically risky and, often, emotionally affecting shows on TV."

"The truth about Google X: an exclusive look behind the secretive labs closed doors."
Barack Obamas press secretary Jay Carney told students at Georgetown this week that the presidents "most substantive, challenging" interview in 2012 came from The Daily Show.
"I'm usually really good at not breaking. I've had a lot of ridiculous interactions on the street and the voice in my head says, Don't break, because this could be really good and you'll ruin it if you break. I try to hold on tight, but with that I just When she said whertle, I just couldn't."
