Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
It's St. Patricks' Day. See this article from the History Channel.
The Arts: Listverse shows us beautiful, or interesting, photos of abandoned structures.
Christianity: (and politics) an insightful review of a book on Christian nationalism, by Tim Keller.
Christianity Today has an article about Henrietta Mears, who, in many ways, founded the 20th-century evangelical movement, and was a positive force for Christ. Billy Graham probably would never have come to prominence without her influence. (I'd never heard of her.)
Relevant reports on a survey that indicates that pastors are leaving churches because a significant portion of their attendees have become QAnon believers.
Christianity Today has an article urging redress of sentencing guidelines that have been unfair to African-Americans.
Computing: (and Education) Gizmodo reports that lots of children (and adults) still don't have internet access.
Health: Gizmodo reports that diphtheria infections are on the rise, because of mutated bacteria.
NPR reports that the frequency of alcohol-caused liver disease in young women has risen sharply.
Politics: (and Health, and Race) FiveThirtyEight examines the reasons why African-Americans are getting vaccinated against COVID less. It's not because they don't trust the shots, but because many of them lack internet access for signing up, and because distribution centers are less likely to be close to where they live.
Science: Gizmodo reports that some deep-sea bacteria are "invisible" to human immune systems. That is, they are not recognized as foreign, and attacked. This could be dangerous.
Gizmodo also reports that rainbows look different in Hawaii, and tells us why. (The article also explains rainbows, wherever they are.)
A mosquito, which carries human infectious diseases, has entered Florida from elsewhere, according to NPR.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
