Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Relevant takes
on the Prosperity Gospel.
Finance: Catherine Rampell discusses the effects of the Trump
administration rolling back regulations, and the
President's remarks about businesses that are hurt by his tariffs really suffering from bad management.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight has studied
crowd size at political events, and found that polls are a better
predictor than crowd size.
NPR reports that the Department of Education has been making
it almost impossible for teachers to get the loan forgiveness they were promised, if they went into teaching.
NPR analyzes
the likely results of the Electoral College in the 2020 presidential election.
Catherine Rampell tells us that the
Trump administration has been, and is, waging a war on children, and
gives us details.
Gizmodo reports on yet another survey that indicates that all Americans, including gun owners, are in favor of stricter background checks, red flag laws, and the like.
Science: Ars Technica reports that a company that genetically
engineered a bull so that he wouldn't have horns also, unwittingly,
placed some bacterial and plasmid genes in the bull. Thanks to one
of my brothers for the information on this.
Gizmodo reports on research about what
causes someone to be left-handed.
The Scientist reports on research into how
bar-headed geese can fly over Everest, in spite of the low oxygen at such a high altitude.
Sports: FiveThirtyEight thinks that the
NFL pre-season should be eliminated, or seriously changed.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it
is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
