- In which Max Barry sums up the challenge in front of us, via the medium of dogs and smurfs.
- “I am beginning to get the serious arse on at this trope”: Dave is cross about new superhero show Alphas.
- USA Today would like us all to know that vampires are over, and “mermaids are the next big thing”. Stephenie Meyer’s gotten involved. This can only end well, right?
- We Don’t Need You: A great post from Newsprint Fray in response to Pitchfork’s recent Terribly Very Male Top 60 Best Books on Music.
- Sady Doyle’s ready to sing the praises of Joanne Rowling’s Hermione Granger series!
- Here is a key moment of exposition from that very series, as illustrated by Emmy Cicierega.
- And to round off, we’re obsessed with illustrator Noelle Stephenson, AKA gingerhaze on tumblr and currently gaining intertubey plaudits for The Broship of the Ring. Have, on us, the moment in which Eowyn reveals she is no bro.

Thank you, thank you for the Broship of the Rings. It’s Friday, I’m stuck in a tiny lab doing mass spectrometry and this has just made my day. The Sady Doyle article is good too.
Isn’t it brilliant?
