Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Relevant on avoiding the Gospel
of Comfort.
A Washington Post columnist on what
the Bible says about immigration. (Some Christian leaders say it has
nothing to do with that subject!)
Food: Relevant says that Valentine candy may be supporting exploitation of the poor in other parts of the world.
Health: The National Gardening Association has posted a Garden
Planting Calendar. You enter your location.
Scientific American reports that being affected by a traffic jam makes it more likely that you will engage in domestic violence.
History: Scientific American points out that people
of African descent, including women other than those shown in Hidden Figures, have been part of space exploration for decades.
Humor: (not really) ListVerse reports on why
we are afraid of clowns.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight points out that raising
the minimum wage usually doesn't affect waitresses and other workers
who depend on tips.
Relevant reports that Amnesty International claims that 17,000
people have been wrongfully put to death in Syria, by the court system, from 2011-2015.
FiveThirtyEight discusses four
types of constitutional crisis, with examples.
Science: National Public Radio reports that scientists have begun using
DNA that wild pigs leave behind, to find out where they live, so
that they can be destroyed. They are serious pests.

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.
