Greetings.

Today’s news and commentary:
  • “The Refugee Boat (1988)”
  • “Got Sleep? CDC says 1 out of 10 Americans are sleep deprived!”
  • “Gaza: UK Media Reacts Against Israel”
  • “Bad scientific arguments in the service of animal rights activism”
  • “Gravity Lamp”
Today’s weird thing is “The End of the Internet”. Enjoy and share the weirdness.
