Photo of the Day: Our founder Dan O’Neill sits aboard a knocked-out Syrian tank during a tour of Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Dan writes about how his experience living in the Middle East influenced his vision for Mercy Corps, which he would go on to start in 1981:

“I determined that we would engage the Middle East to educate the American public, assist survivors of conflict and promote dialogue and peace-building.”

O’Neill later performed a ripping sax solo atop that very same tank.

NY Times: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
NY Times: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
NY Times: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion? I don’t play poker on the Internet, either.

We are, each of us, largely responsible for what gets put into our brains, for what, as adults, we wind up caring for and knowing about. No longer at the mercy of the reptile brain, we can change ourselves.

“

A $250 billion per year loss would be almost $800 for every man, woman, and child in America. And 750,000 jobs – that’s twice the number of those employed in the entire motion picture industry in 2010.

The good news is that the numbers are wrong. In 2010, the Government Accountability Office released a report noting that these figures “cannot be substantiated or traced back to an underlying data source or methodology,” which is polite government-speak for “these figures were made up out of thin air.”

hometapes:

Megafaun Announce US & EU Tours!
On the road February through April in continued support of Megafaun

The thing about Megafaun’s self-titled album, released on Hometapes last September: it keeps getting better. The double LP’s crisp corners have softened, and you’ve listened to “Get Right” so many times that it plays in your head when the room is quiet. The album that Phil Cook, Joe Westerlund, and Brad Cook were making this time last year, under the blanket of snow of their native Wisconsin, is about to see its first Spring.

Megafaun is headed to Europe in February, and will return to the United States for their first complete nationwide tour in support of Megafaun in March and April. Dates below. More US dates and additional support to be announced in the coming weeks.
