Noted fashion house Kenzo has been making plenty of right moves lately and making their brand seem even cooler than it already is. They had a really great Spike Jonze music video and now, they have a short film by Carrie Brownstein.

Called The Realest Real, it skewers social media in a Portlandia-esque way if you set Portlandia in the dystopian future of a nameless city. Also, Natasha Lyonne plays a pretty great role in it.

Watch it here.

Having taking the summer off from social media, Patton Oswalt has been able to take a step back, or rather look up from his smartphone and make some very keen observations as he’s wont to do.   

In fact, he wrote a whole article on it over at Time and, after all of this, he’s thinking of making a Summer break from social media an annual tradition.

Now that’s he officially back, we’re sure he’s got plenty of worthwhile stuff in store for us all via his Twitter account.
