Friday Five (asymmetrical justice edition)

The most Russian headline ever: “Pregnant Russion Woman Gives Birth in Forest While Officers Fight Off Bears”
It’s been a weird week, and for the first time since I switched from the old format, I had a bit of a struggle trimming this week’s list of links to just five.
Welcome to my Friday Five: Only the top five (IMHO) stories of the week and five videos (plus notable obituaries and a recap of my posts).
Stories of the Week:
Now That Al Franken Is Gone, Democrats Need to Hold Hearings on Trump.
Former cop found guilty of second-degree murder in shooting of unarmed black man.
A New Swimming Dinosaur Was Like Velociraptor, But With a Swan’s Neck.
In Memoriam:
Ex-presidential candidate, congressman John Anderson dies.
Mitch Margo, Singer on The Tokens’ Hit ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight,’ Dies at 70.
Things I wrote:
Some people are difficult to shop for, then there’s my mom.
