Here’s what we’re reading today.
1. Tear down this wall
“Thrusting himself into the heated American presidential campaign, Pope Francis declared Thursday that Donald Trump is ‘not Christian’ if he wants to address illegal immigration only by building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.”
Trump issued a response, essentially saying Pope Francis will be sorry “if and when” ISIS attacks Vatican City. “I can promise you,” Trump wrote in a release, “that the Pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been President because this would not have happened.”
+1: Francis also suggested today that women at risk of contracting Zika can use contraception.
2. What is “normal” sex?
“For this reason, trying to describe the ‘normal’ sex life is something of a fool’s errand; the variety is so great that a single statistic is never going to capture how most people feel. So BBC Future has looked at the data to try to get an idea of the full spread of the sexual spectrum – from how much we actually want sex to what we really do between the sheets.”
3. How Instagram has redrawn the tattoo world
“With links to your potential ink now only a click away, body artists and their work are being embraced and engaged by their human canvases like never before.”
4. America’s biggest meat producer averages an amputation a month
“Turning chickens into chicken nuggets can be a rough business. A new report lists the fingers and other body parts lost in meat factories.”
5. Feelin’ the Bern
“For months, pundits have marked Nevada in the ‘win’ column for Hillary Clinton, who was thought to hold an unassailable lead with the state’s large Hispanic population. But according to a new poll, Clinton might not win Nevada in the landslide that everyone predicted. In fact, she might not win it at all.”
Democrats in Nevada head to the the polls this Saturday.
