Leading off this week, a beautifully written piece: A Reckoning in Springfield: A truck driver out on his route confronts what the country has become.
Yes, the bill is absolute bullshit, to no one's surprise: An Antitrust Expert Makes The Comprehensive Case Against The Protect College Sports Act.

This is quite astonishing: Spontaneous problem-solving in bumble bees.
Tremendous and worthy research: Controlling the brain with light earns a physiology Nobel.
