The Independent kicks us off today with the inevitable “Just what the doctor ordered?” Points will also be awarded for the first to spot the following:
Keep Taking the Tablets (for when the first sales figures are announced)

Hmmmm, this sounds remarkably similar to the post I made a bit earlier this afternoon!

The only way to guarantee continued demand was to ensure that people would keep replacing the things they owned. The literature on planned obsolescence makes frequent reference to statements by industry analysts and strategists of that era. “Our enormously productive economy … demands...

And then of course because I’m a fucking neurotic I worry about you, Dear Reader, Mr and Ms Audience, I worry that I share too much, that I share too little, that the few opinions I have are so tinged with bitterness and misplaced sympathy as to be rendered completely impotent, I wonder if any of you know me as you seem to know each other and then the loneliness threatens to...
Things you shouldn't wear on a plane:

denim skirts (because it’s cold)
mini shorts (because it’s cold)
crocs (because they’re crocs)
pantyhose (because if you’re going to wear something itchy on your legs, it should be either leggings or tights)
uggs (because they’re uggs)
Also, I’m back in NY.
Foureleven, I think you need to see this.
Things you learn on Tumblr
Until just now, I had no idea Nas and Kelis had split up. Just goes to show, my mum was always right: no relationship between two people whose names end in “S” ever ended up happy ever after.
Don’t believe me? Just look at the divorce rate in Lithuania.
Michele: Can you do illegal file sharing across Virgin Broadband?
Me: It hasn't stopped us before.
Michele: If you get sent down I'll bake you a cake. I'll put a file in it.
Me: You can't do that: they don't allow illegal file sharing.
The drought is indeed over.

Toxic (britney spears) is the best pop song ever written.
Yes, I think it’s more effective than Michael Jackson & Madonna’s entire body of work, and I’m prepared to argue my point. Thriller & Material Girl are not better than toxic, musically. And Toxic is just as timeless.

The future of Germany’s mission in Afghanistan was thrown into doubt today after a government minister resigned under growing pressure to admit his involvement in a campaign of misinformation over an air raid in which civilians were killed.
