Leyendo la Guía del autoestopista galáctico descubrí que el Paranoid Android de #Radiohead está basado en Marvin, el robot depresivo de la novela. El nombre #OKComputer también está tomado del libro. 
El título del tema Don't Panic, del primer disco de #Coldplay, #Parachutes, también proviene de la novela. En la cubierta de la Guía del autoestopista... esa advertencia aparece escrita en grandes letras: NO TE ASUSTES.
Al parecer Level 42 también se inspiró en el libro para su nombre. El grupo se llama así porque La Respuesta a la Gran Pregunta de la Vida, del Universo y de Todo, según la novela de Adams, es... 42
Recently, my alma mater Harvard Law School asked for a donation for my 15th reunion, a class I’ll always share with the guy who sexually assaulted me when I was a teenager and completely got away with it. THREAD
It’s a part of my life that I wanted to keep buried forever because it filled me with such shame, not just the fact that I was sexually assaulted, but the fact that the faculty of Harvard Law School actually voted on whether to take away my degree for speaking up about it.
I was only 18 when it happened, having skipped several grades, gone to college at 13, a first generation immigrant, a young woman of color who had overcome poverty & beaten the impossible odds to get in. The last thing I expected to happen to me at Harvard Law was sexual assault.
1/20 Because someone has hacked my daughter's Twitter account, I am going to do something very unCanadian - I am going to showcase all the work she has been doing to create a liveable world over the past 6 years.
In 2013, CCL Canada held its 1st cconference. I ran it with no paid staff. I worked 80+ hours/week in the last 3 weeks before the event. My children neglected. At the event, Sophia found me in private room, climbed up on my lap & said, "you are doing this for me mommy aren't you?
Sophia started lobbying politicians to protect her world in Canada when she was seven and in the US Congress when she was nine. She has spoken to dozens of politicians. She has shown many adults how powerful children are when they speak to politicians. canada.citizensclimatelobby.org/blog-lobbying-…
