Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*
Computing and Politics: Gizmodo talks to a member of Congress who wants to require acknowledgment of such when deepfake (computer-generated material masquerading as the real thing) technology is used.
Environment: (and Politics) The Guardian reports on a detailed plan, for an incoming Republican President, to eliminate the effectiveness of the Environmental Protection Agency, and other such governmental entities.
The heat is so high, in Arizona, that even saguaro cactus plants are dying.
Food: Does Subway's tuna really contain tuna?
Health (and Politics): Gizmodo reports that Republican people have been more likely to get COVID than Democrats, at least partly because of misinformation about the vaccines by prominent Republicans.
Science: The Associated Press and other outlets report that the family of Henrietta Lacks has been compensated for the use of her cells, which were taken without her knowledge or permission. They have been used widely in science.
