Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: A fantasy
picture about conquering the Corona virus.
Speculative Faith lists
and describes the most original fantastic stories of all time.
Christianity: Christianity Today reports that Easter Sunday set a record for YouVersion (A Bible application) use. Over 40 million used it that day.
Environment: Gizmodo reports that the
Trump administration continues to try to remove restrictions on the release of Mercury into the environment, based on a flawed analysis.
Health: FiveThirtyEight realizes that Dr.
Anthony Fauci actually predicted the situation we are in now, over a year ago.
(And Etiquette) A Gizmodo writer suggests
that the curtsy be brought back, as a form of mutual
acknowledgement.
A FiveThirtyEight writer tells us why
we have reacted more strongly, as a world, to COVID-19 than to
Ebola, Swine Flu, or SARS.
NPR says that we
don't need to disinfect our groceries after we bring them in.
Humor: (or something) NPR, and other outlets, report that jigsaw
puzzle sales are way up.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight on why Bernie
Sanders lost to Joe Biden.
On March 13th, President Trump announced a number of steps toward
fighting the COVID-9 virus. NPR
reports on how these initiatives are going, a month later.
Basically, the government is doing the things it can do itself, but the joint private-public initiatives that were promised haven't materialized,
mostly because the White House, apparently, made them up.
Science: To quote the Gizmodo article's title: "Birds
are judging you by your outfit."
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it
is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
