How One Company Secretly Poisoned The Planet

tbh I am somehow fatalistically sanguine about PFAS and microplastic exposure. Not that I am recommending that approach.

This video is extremely informative on PFAS fundamentals:

I'm a molecular biologist, and I want to reassure you that RO is very effective at removing PFAS.

Even short-chain PFAS molecules are physically much larger than water molecules. They will not go through the pores in the membrane.

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life

billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

Opinion | We Shouldn’t Want to Eat Like Our Great-Great-Grandparents

I would not exist if not for industrial food production. Eating boutique food products is a luxury for city folks.

This photo made me understand class in America in a way that I was unable to process before seeing it. The rich enjoy class solidarity on a level that is unimaginable to most people.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

β€œEveryone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

The RW is indeed hypocritical about this.

Some caveats tho:

1. In LA, ice was way more active in montebello and DTLA than in south central. They were deterred by an armed population.

2. The federal government is not oppressing right wing communities. They remain untested.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: β€œNo, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Honestly if you’re currently unemployed, sounds like ICE standards are so low you could do some good by joining, going through training and then quitting at the most inconvenient time.

Can find similar genocidal quotes from Israeli government officials.

So what? Neither should exist?

You would be more persuasive without all the ahistorical racist propaganda. That actually makes it worse wrt perceptions of Israel.

I got that explanation loud and clear. I'm even a rough looking beardy one 😳.

I have learned to signal to new students more-or-less immediately. It's important. Only got awkward one time when a new-to-the-US lebanese kid thought I would be the safe space for antiblackness on campus and got upset.

My boomer dad still claims - somewhat reasonably - that it was worse in the 1960s and then got better. That gives him hope.

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

We didn't figure everything out on our own back in the day. We talked with each other and asked "where'd you find Dungeon #8?" My buddy had, in fact, systematically candled every bush, but I did not, I was not patient enough. Not that different from discord.
