You all know how much I enjoy historical infrastructure and arcana; combine them and I'm ecstatic. (BuzzFeed FWD)

In a similar vein, someone has gone to the time and effort to photograph every station in the MBTA system (including commuter rail stops).

And finally this week, as promised, a compilation of the terse wit of Mike from Breaking Bad. (Vulture)
