The Day The Dinosaurs Died: The asteroid's impact "formed a fiery plume, which reached halfway to the moon". Hollywood has really dropped the ball on cool/scary asteroid explosions.
"Our belief in the benefits of low salt consumption are largely based on mis-information and myth-information." Link.
"Saudi crown prince defends China's right to put Uighur Muslims in concentration camps." ??? This has been up to 1 million people. Link.
"August birthday (read: enter school younger) associated with 30% increase in ADHD diagnoses relative to September birthday. But only in states with September school cutoff." Hmmm... Link.
California used to allow medical and non-medical exemptions for school-mandated vaccines. Then, to try to increase vaccination, they repealed non-medical exemptions. But this only led to a 1% decline in total exemptions, seemingly because many of the people who were getting non-medical exemptions switched to medical ones instead. What a coincidence! It makes you doubt how effectively we can change people's behavior in general... Link.
"A Women's March planned in Eureka has been postponed by the organizers over fears that participants were not diverse enough." Link.

After reading the full Mueller report, Justin Amash, a GOP congressman, now says that "Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller's report", "Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct" (obstruction of justice), and "few members of Congress have read the report".
