1. Harriet Tubman is to replace Andrew Jackson on the twenty-dollar bill.
2. They're suing because Texas has made a new system where the grading of standardizes tests will be based almost purely off the students' own grades, not improvement or an average of others'.
3. Eight flood-related deaths have happened in Houston since the bad weather started this week.
4. The experiment going up into space is testing the different uses and lipid production of algae; the experiment is happening in space and on the earth at the same time.
5. Changing the pain, changing the layout of the room, providing different lighting, and changing rugs are four easy (painting is not easy, by the way--we just finished my room; I would know) ways to change the look of a room or home.
6. This sort of thing happening to the citizens of Flint is horrible, and mostly because there was pretty much no reason for it. I hadn't known about the issue before reading the story, although I don't know much about anything that goes on outside of my books. The people who potentially knew they were poisoning the people of Flint should mostly definitely be convicted, but I wouldn't be able to tell how or of what--it's not up to me to decide the verdict, and it's better that way.
If this extends to the governor or even further, they should be held just as accountable. If someone aids a person in a crime or has this big of a part in it, they should face the consequences they surely knew they would end up having to face.
