Do men like Liz Lemon?
phyllis-stein:
I mean straight ones. And IRL. I mean, look, I know it’s a sorta offensive question, like asking if you can read,1 but do you? The really intense Lemon-lovers I know are all ladies or very, very gentle men, so I have to wonder if there’s something you’re not telling the rest of us. Do you just watch it for Frank and Tracy Jordan? Is a girl in a Slanket singing “Night Cheese”...

– Cheryl Kernot To Run For Senate | Federal Election 2010
There’s nobody in Australian politics I despise more than Cheryl Kernot. I’m very glad her decision to run for Senate again coincides with the end of my exile from hate-based social media blathering.
Just to recap: She was leader...

Location services are now regularly out by thousands of metres.
Buttons and sliders are slow and unresponsive - even on things as simple as answering calls.
The iPod app regularly jitters when playing in the background.
Now, I expect this type of thing when I try to upgrade the...
