many many things
Jul. 4th, 2012 08:24 amHappy fourth, out there. Per ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sometimerose it has in fact decided to really truly be summer here today: bright sun and distinct shadows, temps in the lower twenties. Two months a year of this kind of summer seems pretty reasonable to me.
I seem to have missed posting on Canada Day. Have a Kate Beaton comic about it anyway. And also a bunch of other links, because they've been sitting here for awhile.
Prada Menswear Fall 2012 Ad Campaign. As a straight guy who hates the romanticization / fetishization of the late British Empire, let me just say: yum. Gary Oldman and Willem Dafoe and a couple of other guys I don't know looking extremely dapper.
Plenty to Hide: six very good answers to "if you have nothing to hide why do you care about privacy?"
Children warned name of first pet should contain 8 characters and a digit: "We tried to call Barclays’ security expert R0b Ste!nway for a comment, but he was not available for 24 hours, having answered his phone incorrectly three times in succession."
I've been playing the same game of Civ II for almost 10 years: "I then thought that it might be interesting to see just how far into the future I could get and see what the ramifications would be.... The world is a hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation."
The Overthinking Person's Drinking Game: "If you cannot work out whether your present situation, challenge, relationship et al is yet another state of unconscious self-sabotage despite the fact you feel deprived, drink."
Here I am. What do you think?: Miranda Suri, on the curiously quick bonding between writers. I found myself nodding and saying "Yes, this," to the entire thing.
Boiling Frogs and Family: "When you're immersed in an environment, especially when you're immersed in it from childhood, it takes a lot of time and distance to realize it was an environment, and not 'just life.'"
10 Bets You Will Never Lose: via Cory Doctorow, who says, "Seriously, I can't believe that he ever tried #10, because he is still breathing."
