Christianity: Christianity Today has an article on how to help people in need, without creating beggars, or destroying their dignity. The article considers both foreign and domestic charity.
Relevant has an article warning Christians not to judge those in need.
Humor: Relevant shows us what Dunkin' Donuts' "Holiday Cup" looks like.
Politics: A thorough analysis, comparing the amount residents of each state pay in federal taxes, compared to the amount that state, and its individuals, receive back from the federal government. Over all, "red" states are more dependent on the federal government than "blue" states. Some of the reasons for that are that Southern states tend to have more retirees, and also more people in poverty, and that natural disasters tend to strike Southern states more often. There's a lot more, including many comments.
The New York Times reports on simplifying the tax code. It's not as simple as some people think it would be.
People speaking for Muslim countries have condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.
BuzzFeed has posted a picture essay on where and how Syrian refugee children sleep.
Science: Public Radio International has a post on myths about spiders. (They aren't as scary as we seem to think.)
