One Day at a Time (29 November 2015)

Things that made me click:

• Home-made throat lozenges
• More than half a million homeless in the US, including 125,000+ children: where it's worst
• Right-wing domestic terrorism strikes again in the US
• Five police officers wounded in above attack, but white right-wing terrorist taken alive
• Establishment Republicans probably cheering as Trump drops 12 points in Reuters poll
• Childhood photos of dictators and mass murderers
• McClatchy-Marist poll shows Trump and Carson tied for a total of 40% between them, Rubio in third with 12% while Cruz at 8% hopes for one of the crazy candidates to exit the race, because where else is crazy going to turn?
• Young professionals try microdoses of LSD as alternative for Adderol -- "It's crazy awesome"
• Basic considerations for scientific research (Vox flashcards)
• Conflicting findings (King's College London versus University of Colorado/Boulder and University of Louisville) in studies looking for correlation between cannabis use and brain abnormalities
