It’s a new month, and with that comes a renewed perspective and zest for life, right? So take the month by the horns and start going to that yoga class you promised would happen last month, try making macarons for the first time or watch a film with subtitles – you can do it! As part of this “new you” regime, treat yourself to this week’s Best of the Web. From kebab house motion graphics to a peek at Cindy Sherman’s now public Instagram, enjoy!
