Number One for 18 May 2011

I'm tired of being wasted, I'm so sick of being tired:

• Your first response to this will probably be that "it's not about the money." But how much debt do you have to take on before it becomes about the money? Liberal arts degrees probably aren't worth the debt. [New York]
  
• Roseanne Barr's brutal memoir of the late 1980s television industry. One wonders if it has changed. One suspects not.

  Hollywood hates labor, and hates shows about labor worse than any other thing. And that’s why you won’t be seeing another Roseanne anytime soon. Instead, all over the tube, you will find enterprising, overmedicated, painted-up, capitalist whores claiming to be housewives. But I’m not bitter.

• Conspiracy theorists and DSK, by French people [Slate.fr]
  
• This looks so good. [Kill Math]
  
• Is the Internet causing half the rapes in Norway? [The Monkey Cage]
  
• Knowledge workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your condo maintenance fees! [Felix Salmon]
