A Sasquatch's Dozen And A Personal Note

Here are twelve things going on out there:


From Russia Today, British schools are told to protect free speech.  (The particular types of speech which are still considered "free" over there is another matter.)

From ABC News, a tourist in the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy is killed by a piece of falling stone.  (via the New York Post)

From the Daily Mail, an entire Russian village is besieged by large white creatures.  (via The Daily Caller)

From Breitbart London, contrary to a previous report, the Viking burial cloth does not refer to "Allah".

From National Review, Mayim Bialik was right to advise women to protect themselves.

From UCA News, in Pakistan, a Christian student died from being beaten by police.

From Newsweek, the terrorist leader accused of masterminding the Peshawar school massacre has been killed.

From Townhall, Harvey Weinstein's accusers are brave, but such bravery is nothing new.

From The Week, defectors tell BBC interviewers that North Koreans are taught that Americans are wolves.  (via HotAir)

From the Washington Examiner, the southern border wall could contain solar panels.  (via The Daily Caller)

And from CNBC, a new video game involves clapping the fastest for the Chinese president.

On a personal note, I visited Florence in 2010, including the Basilica of Santa Croce.  To my disappointment, the square outside the church was occupied by a stage and seating for a rock concert, so I could not take a good picture of the church's front.  Fortunately, while inside, I was able to take a photo of the tomb of Galileo, another other things.
