It’s a new year, 2016, and it looks like the world could need some linky. So here are some.<\/p>\n
Matthew Dentith, a theorist about conspiracy theorists, gives a fascinating analysis<\/a> of how the Serial podcast deals with evidence in the Adnan Syed case, and how the Undisclosed podcast that looks at the same case approaches things in a very different way.<\/p>\n I missed this until after my final linky of last year year, but it’s Nate’s really good piece on what the 1977 Star Wars movie was actually about<\/a>.<\/p>\n A system to give every room-sized space on earth its own address made up of three simple words.<\/a> Interesting, although I’m not entirely convinced it’s exactly useful. (via Allen Varney)<\/p>\n What happened to the mince pie in America?<\/a> (via d3vo, who understands the special place of the mince pie in NZ)<\/p>\n The Atlantic’s 50 best podcast episodes of 2015.<\/a><\/p>\n An alternate cut of Inside Out that just has the normal-life stuff.<\/a> This could be kinda harrowing. Haven’t watched.<\/p>\n Texts from Superheroes<\/a> (via Ben S)<\/p>\n Regular readers will know that I usually finish the linky with one “and finally” link that is… a little bit weird. Well… this week I have more weirdness to go around. So:<\/p>\n And finally, The Wizard of Oz, in alphabetical order<\/a><\/p>\n And finally, via my darling Cal who told me I had to put this in the linky: What did we get stuck in our rectums last year<\/a><\/p>\n And finally, via Angus, seadope.com<\/a><\/p>\n And finally, via Angus, a dating website for people who are secretly lizards<\/a>.<\/p>\n And finally, via Pearce, what you get when Tim Allen’s Home Improvement<\/em> character is the voice of Chewbacca.
