Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:
Finances: FiveThirtyEight discusses the so-called eviction tsumani that didn't happen.
Health: (or something) NPR has 22 tips to use if you want to pass on drinking alcohol.
Gizmodo reports that the COVID vaccination rate in the US is 59th in the world, below all other first-world countries.
Politics: NPR has a discussion of why it's so hard to get some people to reject Donald Trump's false claim that he is the rightful President.
(and Christianity) Relevant has an article distinguishing between Christian Nationalism and following Jesus.
The Dallas Morning News also discusses Christian Nationalism.
Science: Gizmodo reports that it is possible to track
animals using DNA fragments in the air around them. This is a non-invasive technique.
Gizmodo also reports that dogs
can tell when a person talks in a language they aren't familiar with.
The Scientist reports that 14
new species of shrews have recently been found on the island of Sulawesi,
part of Indonesia.
The Scientist also reports that preserved human feces, about 2000 years old, indicate that gut microbial diversity has decreased dramatically, as well as showing what the diet of humans was like, in that time and place.
CNN reports
on a large exploding star.
Gizmodo and The Scientist discuss the recent use of a genetically modified pig heart to replace a man's heart. So far, all is going well.

christian nationalism is one of these ideas that I have the hardest time grasping. Jesus was not an American and early christians certainly had no love of the military hegemon of their time, rome. And there was also no concept of a nation state for another 1500 years.
I'd say that Christian Nationalism is heresy.
Thanks.
