The first Friday linky of level 3! Let\u2019s go…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. This NYT essay by a restaurant owner who closes her restaurant in lockdown is gripping. Beautifully written and intensely personal. Worth creating a free NYT account to read. https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/23\/magazine\/closing-prune-restaurant-covid.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Mad Chapman\u2019s listicles of NZ food items are hilarious and controversial classics of the genre, and this one is no different. https:\/\/thespinoff.co.nz\/food\/26-04-2020\/all-142-biscuit-flavours-in-new-zealand-ranked-from-worst-to-best\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Brett Goldstein (the lovely Films to be Buried With podcast) is making a lockdown webseries like Love Island, only the love interest is a pot plant? Brilliant. https:\/\/youtu.be\/nP793bQSHPY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. More lockdown fun with this beautifully-produced interactive murder mystery on twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/misterabk\/status\/1253625098256465920?s=21<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Film costume nerds judge historical films by the standard of one that really got it right. They speak, of course, of Bill & Ted https:\/\/slate.com\/culture\/2020\/04\/regency-movie-costumes-bill-and-ted-test.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. This supercalifragilistic parody will bring you joy https:\/\/youtu.be\/ykieEE1j9eA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Everyone knows the quickest way to sort problems with your broadband is to call out the company in public, on twitter. But this call goes weird places. https:\/\/twitter.com\/adrianrmg\/status\/1254742269686624257?s=21<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. \u201cI personally don\u2019t believe solutions are the answer to our problems\u201d https:\/\/www.mcsweeneys.net\/articles\/i-personally-dont-believe-solutions-are-the-answer-to-our-problems<\/a> – probably the best thing McSweeneys has ever published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. The White Man Behind A Desk has graduated to a well-produced RNZ series about New Zealand\u2019s history and present. A local civics education, plus funny! https:\/\/youtu.be\/m1VrqxohA-A<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. Fraggle Rock is back – as a series of shorts *filmed in the homes of the performers during lockdown*. Wow. https:\/\/news.avclub.com\/apple-revives-fraggle-rock-for-a-series-of-short-weekly-1842982769<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 11. Generate your own neural-network-generated memes! Mysteriously addictive. https:\/\/imgflip.com\/ai-meme<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 12. Shut Up and Sit Down reveal some amazing board games you can print on your own printer at home and play by yourself. Genuinely inspirational! These look really fun! https:\/\/youtu.be\/sNghPlwbYe8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 13. And finally, watch this guy rap Dr Seuss\u2019 tongue-twister Fox in Socks to the beats of Dr Dre: https:\/\/youtu.be\/hqIbEHNqbPs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The first Friday linky of level 3!
