As much as I’d love to come up with some witty or interesting introduction to this week’s Pro Tips, I can’t. Because I spent my entire night watching old Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes in a movie theater. It was a good decision, but it doesn’t leave a person much time to write their weekly internet link roundup post. And by “person” I guess I just mean me, because I guess that is a weirdly specific problem to have.

Miscellaneous Things
There was too much internet this week! I’m going to have to do a run down now: Amy Poehler on Boston, Thom Yorke’s advice to teen girls, hilarious anti-drug propaganda, towels in space, the queen of celebrity selfies, awkward engagement photos and last (but definitely not least), the crazy sorority girl letter performed by Michael Shannon. Whew.
