Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A Sojourners writer points out that churches for African Americans in Louisiana, burned recently, were just as sacred as Notre Dame.
Finance: Catherine Rampell reports that multinational financial institutions have quickly gotten over their outrage at the death of Jamal Khashoggi.
Food: (and politics?) NBC News, and other outlets, report that the government is planning to stop regulating how many cherries are in frozen cherry pies. Seriously.
Health: (or something) Gizmodo reports that some entity poured lots of wet concrete into the London sewer system. Bad idea.
Politics: Catherine Rampell doesn't want a question on citizenship included in the 2020 census.
On the Mueller report: NPR reports that, based on Mueller's work, there were several people, associates of the President, but did not carry out his orders to do questionable things. Good for them!
Science: Gizmodo reports on the discovery of an ancient, and very large predatory mammal.
Scientific American uses an experiment which found some cell function in pig brains, a few hours after the brains had been removed, to ask questions about when, and if, to harvest organs for transplant.
Scientific American also reports that "bubble boy" disease (a non-functioning immune system) can be fixed, by correcting mistakes in the child's own DNA.
Gizmodo reports that the US Department of Agriculture is undercutting the system of peer review of scientific reports, which system has been in place for several decades, and works.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, I believe, it is public domain.
Thanks for looking!
