Godmorgen og velkommen til. Jeg håber din weekend har været god og at du er fuld af energi til en ny tur i trædemøllen. Her kommer dagens morgenpost, du kan styrke dig på:

"In 1997, wired teens created online diaries, and in 2004 the blog was king. Today, teens are about as likely to start a blog (over Instagramming or Snapchatting) as they are to buy a music CD. Blogs are for 40-somethings with kids."
Jason Kottke, som driver en af de længst eksisterende blogs på nettet, skriver lidt om internettets tilstand i anledning af årsskiftet. En læsværdig lille tekst.

"Some blame rookie coach Jason Kidd for the Nets' poor season, but there's not much any coach can do about a roster full of aging players or an unproductive combination of skills."
En sublim gennemgang af årsagerne til, at Brooklyn Nets skuffer tungt i NBA. Fremragende sportsjournalistik.
"Plans and dreams are discussed, lives are splayed open, people running away from and running to other people, seeing about a job, waiting for a paycheck, picking up a Western Union transfer. As Al Burian wrote in one of the seminal Greyhound zine narratives, “We live and die by the highway, and in between we sit in cramped seats, waiting to get somewhere, forgetting where we’re going.” But even now, in the icy future, so hemmed in and two-dimensional, all is not yet lost."
Helt sublimt portræt af Greyhound-busserne i USA og de folk, der rejser med dem.

Gender Equality in Film. En ret interessant gennemgang af forholdet mellem mænd og kvinder i film.
"Finnish researchers have attempted to pinpoint the ways in which our emotions affect our bodies. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, asked 773 participants to indicate how certain emotionally charged materials made them feel. The researchers argue that human bodies feel emotions in broadly consistent ways."
"If you use Netflix, you've probably wondered about the specific genres that it suggests to you. Some of them just seem so specific that it's absurd. Emotional Fight-the-System Documentaries? Period Pieces About Royalty Based on Real Life? Foreign Satanic Stories from the 1980s?"
Jeg kan love dig for, at jeg har meget på hjerte. Men det kommer jeg ikke til at blande ind i min karriere. Det er ikke professionelt interessant for mig at udtale mig om ting. At jeg selv mener en masse i det private … fair snak. Men den snak kan jeg tage med nogle venner.
