I Guess You Can Also Just Enjoy Them Digitally

The most popular link last time was this colour-matching game, with Roxane Gay's essay about the menopause second.

1. I definitely have iPod brain and I'm not ashamed of it. In fact, I recently bought a sort of iPod-dupe mp3 player and am having a lovely time listening to music I like again, rather than music Spotify randomly serves me. (I might write about this process of Spotify-uncoupling at some point if people are interested.)
2. I was lucky to work with some magnificent writers when I was on staff at the New Statesman. Behold, music critic Kate Mossman's devastating summation of Harry Styles in a single sentence: "Harry Styles is the only young male rockstar working in the UK, if we think of a rockstar as someone mysterious and charismatic who can usher in a whole new style of trousers."
3. Related, definitely. A data-driven look at "whither the male pop superstar". Surprise, surprise: "Gender parity might just be making us think that there are no men in the pop world anymore."
4. Related, maybe? A good coat can change your life.
5. Enough Harry Styles discourse. Let's look at some really good quilts.
6. I really do love it when people try and make the exact technology they want/need, even when it isn't for sale.
7. I agree: Facebook is absolutely cooked.
8. I think political thrillers should be Canada's next big cultural export (now that we're all down with the hockey romance).
9. Interview with a ten year old about his fragrance preferences. Said ten year old is Emily Gould's son, so naturally this is quite interesting.
10. Buying vintage postcards on eBay is a hobby of mine, but I guess you can also just enjoy them digitally.
11. Dive into Wool Creature Lab’s World of Vibrant Felted Nudibranchs. A nudibranch is a "soft-bodied marine gastropod mollusc", apparently.
12. Welcome to Books,For Men™.
13. An evidence-based case against daylight savings time, from the perspective of someone with chronic illnesses.
