The Real Reason Eye Cream Is So Expensive (The Atlantic)

Here’s How De La Soul Cleared The Samples For Their Classic Catalog’s Streaming Debut (Okayplayer)

“You know, it’s amazing how everyone always refers to WhoSampled as being the place that has proper information. Even De La Soul’s like, “Yeah, that’s not accurate. That’s not what we used. We used something else.”

The US Tried Permanent Daylight Saving Time in the ’70s. People Hated It. (Washingtonian)

“Congress had voted on December 14, 1973, to put the US on daylight saving time for two years. President Nixon signed the bill the next day. The US had gone to permanent daylight saving time before, during World War II. Then, too, the measure was enacted to save fuel. Permanent DST wasn’t close to the wackiest idea about time floating around—Paul Mullinax, a geographer who worked at the Pentagon, came up with the idea of putting the continental US on a single time zone. “USA Time” would apply from Bangor to Barstow, eliminate jet lag, and standardize TV schedules.”
