Badass of the Week - Mr. Jonathon R. Davis

All the heroes of olden time
Who have jingled alike in armor and rhyme,
Hercules, Hector, Quintus Curtius,
Pompey, and Pegasus-riding Perseus,
Brave Bayard, and the brave Roland,
Men who never a fight turned backs on;
Charles the Swede, and the Spartan band,
Coriolanus, and General Jackson,
Richard the Third, and Marcus Brutus,
And others, whose names won’t rhyme to suit us,
Must certainly sink in the dim profound
When Captain Davis’s story gets round.

You've seen the sites with tips and shortcuts about everyday annoyances. I think this is a particularly good one.

Gosh ... putting animals on the land in small enough numbers to be sustainable. Who'd a thunk it?

Agribusiness/Monsanto/factory farms can suck it; should suck it. I eat vegan because every animal sourced food in the US is a product of the above. If I had the skill, I'd consider harvesting a deer or elk and putting it in the freezer. Until I do, or until I know someone with the skill to harvest humanely, I'll stay vegan.

As long as the fast food industry is going gangbusters, this is a pipe dream. So, yeah, its a pipe dream.

I prefer the page title to the instructions.

On a library façade, in a university in which one of us matriculated, are written these words: "In darkness dwells the people which knows its annals not." Portentious perhaps, but in a world where everyone with an ax to grind pretends history is on his side, it's likely high time we all knew from whence we came.

I cribbed the paragraph above from the intro to their section on History because I believe it and I believe it also applies to each of the other sections they have on the site. Knowing the description or attributions or contributors, etc are all important aspects for evaluating how trustworthy a given source of information is. This site lists many, many other sites (which aggravatingly open in the same window instead of a new window) with a very brief description of what can be found at the site. I *strongly* recommend spending some time here, well, only as a jumping off point, for trying to learn about other sources of information and the quality of those sources.

I've sometimes thought about this. The perception of time. When I was a kid in the 70's there was a show about the ancient time of the 50's called Happy Days. If that show were made today, it would be about the 90's, which are not ancient times. It just seems like yesterday.

Well, this article on Huffingtonpost tells it much much better than I could.

On Thursday night, Dazed and Confused celebrated its 20th birthday with a special screening at New York Film Festival, which was attended by director Richard Linklater and a handful of cast members. I have to admit, the fact that Dazed and Confused is somehow already 20 years old didn't really surprise me -- this is mostly due to the fact that I remember where I was when the Dazed and Confused soundtrack used to play on a never-ending loop on my CD player in 1993.
....

What did surprise me was the realization that only 17 years separated the date that the events of Dazed and Confused took place (1976) and the date that Dazed and Confused was released (1993).

There's much more, and I think it's worth the read.
