The Arts: (and computing) Scientific American considers the question of whether artificial intelligence can create true art. (Aside: The article doesn't say much about the fundamental question: "can you define true art?")
Christianity: He Lives points out some difficulties in taking all scripture literally.
Health: NPR (and other outlets) report on new guidelines on exercise, from the government.
History: (and humor) Listverse tells us about 10 common traditions, and that they are not really long-standing (most less than a century).
Humor: (sort of) NPR reports that a train, with no crew (or passengers) on board, went for a 57-mile ride, at a good speed, until it was wrecked by remote control.
Politics: Sojourners reports on a survey. Their summary: "White evangelicals are proving to be far more white than evangelical."
(and science) Gizmodo reports on a CNN meteorologist's response to President Trump's tweet about the causes of the fires in California. National Public Radio also writes about the causes. President Trump is correct that part of the problem is (and has been for a long time) management. Some previous fires should have been allowed to burn, so that less fuel was available, or underbrush should have been cleared out. But climate change is an even larger cause of the increase in frequency and strength of the fires.
Science: Gizmodo reports on genetic studies of ancient humans in the Americas, and on how such studies indicate that humans migrated through the New World.
Gizmodo also reports on tool-making in cockatoos.
NPR reports that the kilogram, worldwide, will no longer be defined by a metal object in France.
