Friday Links (Hair Bear edition)!

It's Friday! The first Friday in September. It's a month full of birthdays and anniversaries. Okay, okay, every month is, but September birthdays are extra special, because September babies are superior. It's a fact. No, really.

Anyway, in honor of this first Friday in the glorious month of September, here is a collection of news and other things that I ran across over the course of the week which struck me as worthy of being shared:
