Saturdays are all about longform links on Abnormal Returns. You can check out last week’s linkfest including a look at the rise and fall of khaki.

Quote of the Day

"The end of the world is a growth industry. You can almost feel Armageddon in the air: from survivalist and ‘prepper’ websites (survivopedia.com, doomandbloom.net, prepforshtf.com) to new academic disciplines (‘disaster studies’, ‘Anthropocene studies’, ‘extinction studies’), human vulnerability is in vogue."
