Five for Friday 144

Happy Friday,

It’s that slow, yet bustling time of year we call the holiday season. I think it’s wonderful, and a testament to the importance of connection, that we continue to take a few days each year to rest, reflect, and celebrate our lives and loved ones. I hope you find some time to rest this weekend, whether you’re celebrating the holiday or not.

Here are this week’s links:

The Real History of Black Friday .

The 3,000 year continual maintenance of a chalk horse in England.

Wow. The strange, rude trend of tech-shaming in nature .

The Legacy of Kung Pao Chicken

Finally, a long read on why Google has a philosophy department.

Currently Reading: The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis
