Today in the Lounge the time machine takes us back to the Southern Bread Riots of 1863 and how strong leadership can’t force bread on the table. In science news, we talk about some science news regarding Leap seconds, denisovan DNA, and free will. Over in Snake Oil, Marijuana takes the center stage as we discuss some recent meta research into the effectiveness of CBD as a painkiller. After some fun Fact Checkin’ Time, we wind down with some feel good news about Solar Panels in France.
