Man walking barefoot across America is struck, killed

Corrections & Clarifications: An earlier version of this story had an incorrect first name for Mark Baumer.

TALLAHASSEE — A sport-utility vehicle killed an activist walking barefoot across America to promote awareness of climate change.

Mark Baumer, 33, of Providence, R.I., was hit at about 1:15 p.m. CT Saturday on U.S. 90, which roughly parallels Interstate 10, near Mossy Head, Fla., according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The area is about 60 miles northeast of Pensacola and 125 miles northwest of here.

He was walking westbound facing traffic along the south shoulder of the road when eastbound driver Sonja Siglar, 51, of Westville, Fla., failed to stay on the road, driving onto the shoulder and striking him.

Baumer died at the scene, and the police agency said alcohol was not a factor. Charges are pending.

The activist, who said he usually would walk on the shoulder of the road or in the grass, had finished Day 100 of his journey, starting from Providence and spending Friday night in Mossy Head. If he didn't have a shoulder to walk on, he said he would walk in the road, making sure he was visible.

He's walking nearly 700 miles to give the homeless a voice
He had spent Tuesday night in Westville, also on U.S. 90.

“The best surface is usually the white line because it’s painted and really smooth,” Baumer said Jan. 7 as he passed through Tallahassee. The line separates the traffic lane from the shoulder on busy roadways.

His goal was to walk barefoot to California. After it started snowing in Ohio, he regrouped and took a bus to Florida.

No, Gwyneth Paltrow, women should not put jade eggs in their vaginas, gynecologist says

It wasn't that long ago when Gwyneth Paltrow raved about the benefits of vaginal steaming, a non-scientifically proven process of sitting over a hot pot of water filled with herbs for up to 45 minutes to “cleanse your uterus” and “balance female hormone levels,” as the actress had put it.

Most recently, Paltrow's lifestyle website Goop, which promoted vaginal steaming, is at it again with another advice for women: putting a jade egg — yes, a solid object about the size of a golf ball — in your vagina, and keeping it there all day or while you're sleeping.

For $66 a piece, the jade eggs, once “the strictly guarded secret” of Chinese queens and concubines to please their emperors, would help boost your orgasm and “increase vaginal muscle tone, hormonal balance, and feminine energy in general,” reads the beginning of an article titled “Better Sex: Jade Eggs for Your Yoni.”

But a California gynecologist wasted no time letting Paltrow — and the rest of the world — know what she thinks of those jade eggs, which, according to the website, are already sold out.

Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB/GYN for Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco, called the idea “the biggest load of garbage” she's read on Goop since vaginal steaming and worse than saying wearing bras is linked to cancer.

Trump reportedly wants to cut cultural programs that make up 0.02 percent of federal spending

A report in the Hill details the extent to which the incoming administration of Donald Trump wants to slash the federal budget. Big cuts to major government departments are mentioned, as are cuts to cultural programs that receive federal funding.

“The Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized,” the Hill's Alexander Bolton reports, “while the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities would be eliminated entirely.” In total, the administration aims to cut spending by $10.5 trillion over the next decade.

Humans are innately bad at scale when it comes to big numbers. A million, a billion, a trillion — it all sort of blends together. That can make discussions about the massive size of the federal budget somewhat confusing.

So let's look at the 2016 appropriations for the three programs identified in that quote above and compare them with the overall outlays of the federal government. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting received $445 million in 2016. (It gets additional funding from donors like you.) NEA got $148 million. NEH requested the same. The Congressional Budget Office figures that about $3.9 trillion was spent by the government during the fiscal year.

We can look at that visually, using a pie chart. The programs above are represented with blue slices.

Where was Donald Trump when John Lewis was fighting for civil rights? Let’s compare.

We shouldn’t be surprised anymore.

There’s apparently no depth too low for Donald Trump to sink in his unpresidented attacks on anyone who challenges him. And Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) certainly did that, citing Russian interference in the election and questioning the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency.

Even so, the president-elect’s Twitter tirade against Lewis at the beginning of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend is still mind-boggling and a national embarrassment.

Trump called Lewis, who risked his life to defy segregation, who has been arrested 40 times for his unrelenting activism, who helped get voting rights for millions of Americans, who kept fighting even after his skull was fractured, “All talk, talk, talk — no action.”

So let’s compare Trump’s actions to Lewis’s actions.
