And after that link-dump to my own stuff, here’s something not by me and way more important, via @dipod on Twitter:
The paradox of feminism is that it’s not just about feminists: it’s not about us, it’s about all women. Feminism is useless if it’s only interesting to the women who are on Newsnight, or watching and tweeting about it. It’s useless if it’s only about people who know...
Midnight In Paris Notes
I went to watch Midnight in Paris last night, it was the final screening in the whole of London. It was at the Panton St. Odeon, what a strange cinema! With very noisy a/c, cruddy seats. Midnight In Paris Notes Overall: Woody Allen In Paris Sponsored by France! The first 5 minutes are shots of contemporary Paris, from its green pastures to its bonkers motorway around Place De La Concorde, its...
An American Director In Paris
Off to see Midnight In Paris this evening who knows why.
My favourite line on wikipedia entry! is:
He confides his predicament to Salvador Dalí, Man Ray, and Luis Buñuel, but being surrealists they see nothing strange about his coming from the future.
Hmmmmmmm…..I really hope this is how it pans out.

Also also, I listened to “Price Tag” because some people voted it into the Freaky Trigger songs of the year list, I think what I really detest about it - and there’s a long list - is the bit at the very start where she goes “COCONUT MAAN”, like “Yeah hi, I’m Jessie J and I’m in the studio with my very cool friend COCONUT MAN, we’re kicking back but I’ve got this urge now to ‘lay...

Lana Del Rey - Lyndon Delenor Roosevelt
-Saying she has a binary voice: value of 1 or 0 - 1 being low and 0 being babyish and high - is PLAIN WRONG. She actually has 4 different singing styles: -1. LOW DRAWL: -2.LOW MORE EXCITED: -3. HIGH MUSICAL-STYLE: -4. HIGH BABY-VOICE: She’s at heart an ACTOR less a singer {citation needed}. Which is fine, she’s good at telling stories, and...
A quote from Ricky Gervais Golden Globe's...
“They’re ridiculously gorgeous specimens, they’re extremely talented, and probably very interesting,” Gervais had declared as he introduced presenters Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek late in the show. “I’m not sure…I couldn’t understand a (expletive) word they said.”
“lol they’re spanish lol” FFS that’s awful
I have a new phone
New Google Nexus is great. Some rather interesting user interface notes: Priority Inbox is defacto: it is quite hard to get to normal inbox. It feels like Google are playing Apple: this is the way you will interact with your phone, don’t try and do stuff differently. Which is shiny and pretty but a bit annoying if you don’t trust Priority Inbox.

danielbower:
Have you ever been lined up to do an interview and have the candidate not show up? It’s a normal occurrence: candidates get cold feet, they renegotiate with an existing employer or take new position elsewhere. While it’s frustrating that all the preparation you’ve done has gone to waste, in the…

What is a Chino Wanker?
“Chino Wanker, follow Chino Wanker, lots of your friends do” says twitter. Originally i thought it was the amusing one from One Direction being completely out of the box and changing his twitter handle to Chino Wanker, possibly as a badge of pride after being insulted with it ‘oi you chino wanker fuck off’ ‘@person chino wanker, love it!’ *changes twitter handle...
