Weekend CUP

I flag tons of interesting news items over the course of a week. I usually like to summarize the article when I post about it and maybe add a photo or embed a video or something. But I don’t have nearly enough time to post everything I find. So I’m starting a (roughly) weekly post I’ll call my Weekend Catch-Up-Post or CUP for short. In these posts, I’ll simply present a bulleted list of news items I didn’t have time to write about. Enjoy!
