Summary: The funny thing about Lana Del Rey’s Born to Die is that after a while, it begins to sound like 15 rough drafts for a statement song in which she lays out all of her themes and tells you who she is. It’s rare to come across an artist so eager to explain herself, but given the way the world has responded to her thus far, there probably isn’t an artist alive who actually requires this much self-defense. But it gets very boring, and there are diminishing returns: I think that she is successful in setting up ideas and themes with genuine emotional resonance in “Born to Die,” “Video Games” and “Without You,” but for the most part, it’s a plodding, overlong and repetitive record that, on a lyrical level, tells rather than shows.

Summary: A few sacrifices may need to be made on your way to becoming a modern Spinster. Assess your current group of friends. Have any of them ever uttered any version of the following phrases? "Don't worry, you're so pretty; you'll meet someone some day," or "I just don't know how you stay so strong. I would be lost without ." These people, usually women, are not your friends. They are spectators, watching your life, trying to make themselves feel better by comparison. Fuck them.

Summary: For me personally, I use and love Gmail. The team behind the service has to be one of the best, hardest working teams in tech, as they’re constantly rolling out new changes and improvements, especially on the mobile front. The big problem is, they’re a part of Google. Lately Google has been getting pretty shady, like adding in Google+ results into search
