Sunspots 932

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:


Christianity:  Charles Stanley, long-time pastor of Atlanta's First Baptist Church, and speaker and author, has died.

Computing: Gizmodo reports that some Artificial Intelligence databases include material from troubling sources.

Environment: Gizmodo reports that rich people's swimming pools are a serious contributor to water shortages.

Politics: (and art) A Conversation writer discusses courtroom art. There's a sketch of former President Trump with the article.

Gizmodo reports that some state legislatures and governors are making child labor legally acceptable.

Science: (and history) The BBC discusses the importance of donkeys in human endeavors.

Various entities are planning to build data-collection equipment on the moon. Example: radio astronomy would be mostly, or entirely, shielded from signals from earth, if it was based on the side of the moon that we never see, says Gizmodo.
