Things I have recently spotted that may
        be of interest to someone else: 
        
      
    
 Christianity: A Florida State football
        player ate lunch with an autistic boy who was eating alone in his
      school cafeteria, says Relevant.
    
A blogger has posted some stupid
        phrases, or good phrases used stupidly, for people in crisis.
    
Benjamin L. Corey says that Christian
        parents should be celebrating Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand during        the National Anthem.
    
    
Computing: Bloomberg warns us that our
        new refrigerators may be watching us (and sending information to
      others.)
    
Education: National Public Radio reports on a study that indicates that when a child in school is exposed to violence in the home, it affects the entire class.
      Health: Wired says that too many of us still
        aren't wearing seat belts.
    
Scientific
          American, and many other news outlets, on why the
        ingredients in many antibacterial soaps have been banned. (Regular soap
        is just as good!)
      
      History: ListVerse on 10 people
        who rescued others, who were on the other side, during World War II.
    
Politics: FiveThirtyEight discusses facts
        about immigration, based on real data. (Example: Hispanic immigrants
      learn English as well as, or better than, German immigrants did in the      past.)
    
Science: Wired has posted a
        graphic, showing how rapidly climate has changed over the past 160
      years or so.
    
FiveThirtyEight discusses
        what starlight tells us about the universe. As the post says, pretty
      much everything we know.
    
Scientific American discusses the matter of calling
        family members by some other family member's name.
    
Scientific American also discusses the subject of communicating
        with aliens -- how could we learn their language (or the reverse)?
      (There's a movie about that coming out soon.)
NPR reports that some lizards are starving to death, because it is too hot for them to forage during most of the day.
