Sen. Chris Coons on Faith 2020
And the Very Late Top 5.
A new Faith 2020 podcast episode is out and this week it’s…
Senator Chris Coons!
It’s a fascinating conversation and all-around good time. Take a listen.
“A Family Portrait: Brothers, Sisters, Strangers”
Because two fundamentally human questions are: “Who am I? Where am I from?” This photo essay on one person’s family journey with sperm donation is super interesting.
“The Boomers Ruined Everything”
Because, controversial title aside, this article explores the policies of the boomer generation and how millennials and Gen Z are dealing from the fall-out of those policies. Honestly, Michael and I have felt that a deep, intractable generational war has been coming for over a decade.
“The horrifying conditions facing kids in border detention, explained”
Because the current migration humanitarian crisis at the border, especially after the horrific photo and story this week about a father and his baby girl dying while trying to get to the US, is a crisis of our time.
“Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?”
Because while we usually like to be cautious about the amount of opinions we find written on the effects of technology (especially when it is still understudied), this article on the effects on young mental health is important.
“Inside the Weather Wars That May Threaten the Daily Forecast You Depend On”
Because in many ways, our lives revolve around predicting the weather, and this article goes into the weird and charged world of weather prediction and meteorology - and the future of it.
