Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports on a survey that indicates that regular church attendants are healthier and happier than non-attenders.
He Lives has a thought-provoking post on some words or phrases -- should Christians say them?
(And Politics) Relevant points out that politicians often have a hard time quoting the Bible. Nancy Pelosi thinks she is, but she isn't.
Computing: You probably don't need Gizmodo to report that there were more robocalls than ever in 2018.
Gizmodo also reports that robots can play Jenga well. (See a bit of the videos included, if you don't know Jenga.)
Health: Gizmodo, reporting on a study published in the British Medical Journal, says that eating a good breakfast doesn't seem to help you lose weight.
Gizmodo also tells us about some remedies for the common cold that don't work, and, in some cases, shouldn't be used at all for the disease (like antibiotics), and a few that do help people to feel better.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight considers the questions of whether Iowa, New Hampshire and/or South Carolina will hold Republican primaries or caucuses in 2020.
The Atlantic reports that President Trump tweeted some extreme estimates (or extreme exact figures) on how many illegal immigrants we have, what it is costing us, and how many people voted illegally in Texas.
Relevant reports on the faith of Cory Booker, Democratic candidate for President.
Science: Science Alert explains the relationship between global warming and the polar vortex.
Scientific American reports on the migration of painted turtles.
About the amazing eyes of the mantis shrimp, which can see colors, and polarization, that, as far as we know, no other creature can see.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, I believe, it is public domain.
Thanks for looking!
