Me, scrolling through the headlines after the workday:

“‘She keeps us enthralled, like Bowie did’: the magic of Kate Moss, by her photographers” (The Guardian)

—No, she doesn’t. She’s a celebrity whom people see on social media and forget in a second when her image disappears.

“My father told me to always give a book 50 pages before deciding to put it down. It’s a good rule of thumb for life, too” (The Guardian)

—No, you don’t need to keep up if you aren’t engaged with the book, it’s a stupid waste of time; you can waste it differently (but better not). Unless it’s literally your job, and in this case my sympathies.

“ALASTAIR MACAULAY: WHY DOES GISELLE THINK SHE’S ENGLISH?”* (Slippedisk)

—No, she doesn’t: next.
