Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Relevant and other sources report that the US Government is rounding up Christians from Iraq and sending them back, which is probably putting them at risk to their lives.
Benjamin L. Corey tells us 5 things that he wishes conservative Christians knew about Muslims.
Food: The Associated Press tells you more than you knew about cucumber sex and edible cucumbers.
Listverse reports on 10 foods, most of which are regularly eaten elsewhere, but are banned in the US, for various reasons.
Health: UnDark reviews a book about the US health care system, and seriously questions the use of "system" and of "care," in describing it.
Statnews.com reports on a study that indicates that even a small amount of regular alcohol consumption causes some brain damage.
History: Listverse tells us about 10 American inventions that changed the world, mostly for good.
Politics: Wired reports that President Trump may be taken to court for blocking some users from his Twitter account, because they disagree with him, on free speech grounds. He IS the President, after all, hence his Tweets may be, legally, a public forum. (The courts may rule otherwise.)
Science: According to a review in Scientific American, some fish can solve fairly complex problems, and can use tools.
Scientific American also reports that asking someone for a favor, through e-mail, is not as effective as asking in person.
Listverse tells us how different colors affect our behavior.
Listverse also describes 10 geological oddities, all of them rather large.
