Sunspots 829

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:



Christianity: NPR on a book claiming that evangelicals have distorted Biblical teaching on women's roles. For related matters, see my "Female Headship in the Family: Biblical Examples."

Environment: Gizmodo reports on a study that found that the ecology of about 97% of the land areas on earth has been damaged.

Gizmodo also reports on how the Colorado River water flow has been reduced so much that restrictions on water use are being put in place.

Food: (or finance) Gizmodo reports that ketchup packets are selling for premium prices.

Humor: (or something) ListVerse shows and tells us some interesting history of chess.

Politics: Relevant reminds us that we've known about racism in the US, and its consequences, for at least 70 years, and nothing much has changed.

FiveThirtyEight discusses so-called independents in US politics, and finds that there aren't really very many.

Science: Gizmodo reports on a study that indicates that ermine (aka stoats) are not one species, but at least three.

NPR reports on entities made from a combination of monkey and human cells. There are ethical concerns.

The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.

Thanks for looking!
