Been way behind on things thanks to the weeklong BlizzardCon, where a fuckton of snow has decided to gather in the Boston area for a series of panels like, "Digging out your driveway only to have some fuckwad with a plow undo all your work," "Taking twenty minutes to walk two blocks," and "Running out of any place to put the snow you're shoveling as yet another fucking storm hits." But I do have a few tabs that need closing, so in lieu of real content, here are five links to read as I try to ignore the pain in my shoulders from all this shoveling:

1. The HuffPost asks if it's time to kill the K-Cup before it kills the planet. The big surprise to me is, "Keurig says on its website that it plans for all of its K-Cups to be completely recyclable by 2020." 2020? Really? It wasn't on the agenda from day one, given how recent an innovation it was?

2. Thanks to the seven days of snow, I missed the (not surprising) news about Ship Your Enemies Glitter being an SEO con job.

3. The storm sure as hell has shown the problems with the MBTA, and this piece talks about the political incompetence that's brought us here.

4. At Grantland, Rachel Syme interviews Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer about Broad City, a funny show I'm woefully late to the game on.

5. Leland Melvin is the astronaut who took a picture with his dogs, and his entire story is awesome (and how the hell did I not know there was an ex-NFL player at NASA?).
