The problem with having a website where you only write about things that interest you is that a lot of things will not be of interest to you. For instance, today I am completely uninterested in reading or writing about: Miss California, Ayelet Waldman, Michael Savage, Jimmy Fallon winning a Webby, Webbys in general, Jimmy Fallon in general, whether Obama threatened recalcitrant Chrysler bondholders (but if he did, you know, good for him), and still Jimmy Fallon. Just not interested.

Still, there are always things that are vaguely appealing that you leave in an open tab and then completely forget about while you're busy running outside to buy cigarettes or posting bear videos or bitching about the rain and thinking to yourself, Jesus Christ how the fuck does anyone live in Seattle, no wonder Kurt Cobain blew his brains out etc. Then you come back to them toward the end of the day and you're like, Oh, yeah, you, but at that point you do not want to write a goddamn word about them. But they are still good links that deserve to be clicked on. It is no fault of theirs that they were not addressed earlier. Anyway, these are some of the things I was like, Hey, interesting! about today. Perhaps you will enjoy one or two yourself. Perhaps not. Life is often unpredictable.

• The rap guy who was a DEA informant

• The big losses at Rupert Murdoch's English papers

• The suburb of Jew, where rich Australians live

• Something about why we can't pay attention (yeah, yeah, I know)

• Woody Allen and American Apparel. I've been vaguely following this one for a while; I understand that American Apparel is basically trying to further damage Allen's image so that when they ultimately settle it will be for less than the $10 million he's suing for, but there's a whole weird message being sent which is essentially that if you're enough of a scumbag American Apparel should be able to use your likeness for commercial purposes free-of-charge. It's like the new scarlet letter or something.

• Former UK Deputy Prime Minister (and recovering bulimic!) John Prescott's impression of Gordon Brown

• Silvio Berlusconi. I am fascinated by Silvio Berlusconi. Some day there will be a very long post about him that I will spend three hours writing and you will skip over. Fortunately for both of us, that day will not be today.

Click through or don't. But now my conscience is clear: these links did not expire in vain.
