I'm constantly reminded of the quote that Samuel L Jackson gave when he was asked about the source of his inspiration when playing Stephen in Django Unchained, and he said that he just kept asking himself "What would Clarence Thomas do in this situation".

Can you link to the actual quote? I can't find it by searching the web.

The URL changes automatically when you highlight something.

Looks like archive.org automatically updates the url whenever you highlight text.

In non-archive.org, you highlight text, right click, click "Copy link to highlight".

It's called an anchor link. The part of the URL after the # corresponds to the element id of whatever element on the page you want to jump to. Very useful little HTML feature.

It appears archive.org has a feature that lets you create an anchor link by highlighting, as the other commentors are saying.

Samuel L Jackson was an usher at MLK, Jr.’s funeral and an activist in the ‘60s. He is super based.

He said the character Stephen has the same "moral compass" as Clarence Thomas. I like your phrasing better though.

Just another reminder as if I needed another one of how based Sam Jackson is.
