Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:
Christianity: Relevant reports that a majority of self-identified Christians under 40 think that Christ isn't the only way to salvation.
Relevant also reports that a significant portion of guitar sales are for church worship purposes.
(and Politics) FiveThirtyEight on why white evangelicals have such a low COVID vaccination rate.
(and Politics) Relevant on what the Bible says about how to treat refugees. Christianity Today on the same subject.
Education: Grammarphobia explains why "duck" has so many meanings.
Environment: Gizmodo reports that, for the first time ever known, it rained in the heart of Greenland's ice sheet.
Gizmodo also reports that (surprise!) Texas isn't requiring big petroleum companies to follow practices that are supposed to be required, and would cut down on climate change effects.
Health: Gizmodo reports on a study indicating that the number of people with hypertension (high blood pressure), worldwide, has risen a lot in the past 30 years.
Science: Gizmodo reports on a study of types of rhinoceros, and their ancestry. The five species now alive are all in danger, from poaching or habitat destruction.
Gizmodo also reports that some paper wasps make fluorescent nests. Their function is unclear at present.
Gizmodo also has a good article on how fossils are dated.
Sports: FiveThirtyEight on how the NCAA treats women's sports poorly.
