I round them up, you click them. Maybe. Probably not.

Science

  * [There is now nutrient-rich algae that tastes just like bacon, because science](http://www.details.com/story/dulse-algae-tastes-like-bacon) -- Sign me up! I also learned there's a type of fungus grown in buckets used to imitate chicken. What an amazing time to be alive.

Education

  * [What happened with LeVar Burton's "Reading Rainbow" Kickstarter?](http://blogs.edweek.org/teachers/teaching_now/2016/01/interview-levar-burton-reading-rainbow-kickstarter-update.html?cmp=soc-edit-tw-tm) -- Quite a bit more than I'd realized, in fact. Sounds like the project is going well.

  * [America's lead poisoning problem isn't just in Flint. It's everywhere.](http://www.vox.com/2016/1/21/10811004/lead-poisoning-cities-us) -- Some startling information about the state of water quality in America. Flint is probably an exception, in terms of severity, but infrastructure all over this country is crumbling, and that includes our water transmission infrastructure. In many states, it's impossible to say how bad the problem is because they don't monitor or report their data.

Humor

  * [7 best sex positions for checking your phone](https://web.archive.org/web/20160616211430/https://www.aboveaverage.com/7-best-sex-positions/) -- Cartoony, partially nude graphics, just so you're warned. It amused me, though.

International

American Right-Wing Terrorism

Computing

  * [Microsoft says next-gen CPUs will not be supported on Windows 7](http://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-says-next-gen-cpus-will-require-windows-10/?utm_content=buffer56cdc&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=buffer_pcgfb) -- Another sign that Windows 7's days are numbered.
