Casting Call: Hollywood Needs More Women : NPR
Something I’ve vaguely wondered about, researched and put in figures. If 17% of a group is women, then men think women make up 50%. And 33% women is perceived as being more than 50%. I wish there was a citation though… (via Paul Mison)

@rod I think my 5th birthday is November or so. Maybe I’ll make it, maybe…
@holgate @hondanhon Yeah, could be so many things, which is part of the difficulty. Suspecting Time Machine mostly!
@pixellent That’ll teach you to doubt me!
@holgate @hondanhon Yeah. Honestly, it was bearable until about start of this year and it seemed like it had suddenly given up trying.
@mildlydiverting @holgate @tomtaylor I have Match but never want to have my music *only* on the moon, I mean cloud.
@mildlydiverting @holgate @tomtaylor Hmm, I will think. Got a 1TB HD and don’t really want to split things, so gets pricey for an upgrade…
@tomtaylor I’ve maxed the RAM… considered an SSD but also wondering if it’s time to put the money to a new machine instead.
@paulpod A valiant guess, but no, I’ve never run Outlook in my life. (I guess that’s a life’s achievement to be proud of!)
@phillmv That’s what I thought until this year… now it sits there spinning a lot. Grr.
@secretbean I might get a Mac Mini next time - no need to be portable at the moment. (Famous last words I expect…)
I thought this MacBook might last me five years, but I fear I may have thrown it out of a window by then. This year, suddenly so s l o w.
@dotcode Awww. Did you ruffle his hair and say, “I know son, I know”.
@abscond In an effort to boost patient morale, they will only be given a GP appointment if they have a solution to their symptoms.
