#Plastic probably shouldn't be used to store anything (with moisture) that you plan on ingesting:"he filled the storage vessels with water and 3% acetic acid to mimic the aqueous and acidic foods they might reasonably contain in real life. After storing the containers in the fridge or at room temp for 10 days, the team found millions to billions of microplastics & nanoplastics in the liquids.Microwaving the containers accelerated the process by an alarming magnitude."https://www.bonappetit.com/story/can-you-put-plastic-in-the-microwave

Lots of people think trump will sic the National Guard on protesters (which he will, as well as the DHS, ICE, SS, etc)But also he, and all the red state mini-trumps, will do ANYTHING & EVERYTHING in their power to encourage their wannabe Brownshirts to commit acts of violence & terrorism against anyone who dares to lawfully #protest against them or their draconian policies. Then the 'conservative' media will whitewash them into patriots👇#abbott #texas #BLM #pleaseVotehttps://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/full-pardon-recommended-for-daniel-perry-after-travis-county-murder-conviction/

☝️Perry had made numerous posts and direct messages on social media where he had expressed his desire to shoot protesters, which, along with contradictory statements to eyewitness accounts, brought into question his claim of self-defense. Following his murder conviction, messages Perry sent of him self-identifying as "a racist" and of him calling black protesters "monkeys" were revealed to the public. 👇

☝️On July 25, 2020, Daniel Perry, a then-30-year old U.S. Army sergeant, had been working his Uber shift when he encountered a protest against police brutality that was blocking the road. Perry originally stopped and honked his car horn at the protesters, but later ran a red light and drove his car into the crowd. Garrett Foster, a 28-year old United States Air Force veteran who was legally open carrying an AK-47 walked up to Perry in an attempt to tell him to stop driving into the crowd. 👇

☝️After he walked up to Perry's vehicle, Perry shot and killed Foster. Perry claimed self-defense and claimed that Foster had pointed his weapon at him, but eyewitnesses contradicted this account.When Perry was interviewed by police about what happened before the shooting and how Foster held his gun, Perry said: "I believe he was going to aim it at me … I didn’t want to give him a chance to aim at me, you know."Today, #texas governor greg #abbott pardoned perry. 👇👇https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Garrett_Foster

☝️"I might have to kill a few people on my way to work, they are rioting outside my apartment complex," and "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters." A friend of Perry's responded to him warning him of instigating protesters, stating, "We went through the same training ... Shooting after creating an event where you have to shoot, is not a good shoot." Perry had expressed his support for violence against protesters on at least three social media posts...👇

☝️suggesting in one post to "shoot center of mass" because "it is a bigger target", and in another stated, "Send [protesters] to Texas we will show them why we say you don’t mess with Texas."Perry had also stated that someone could shoot protesters and get away with it by claiming self-defense. Perry's defense claimed that Texas's stand-your-ground law protected him legally and that he had feared for his life, after the defense alleged that Foster had pointed his weapon at Perry.👇

☝️a state district judge unsealed court records that revealed more anti-protester posts & racist messages he made that the jury did not see, such as declaring "I am a racist," & comparing the BLM movement to "monkeys" multiple times, also as "animals at the zoo". He also stated in a text, "Too bad we can't get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe." Evidence from Perry's phone showed a search for "good chats to meet young girls on Kik", & he had talked sexually with a 16-year-old girl on the app.

@AmeliasBrain @fcktheworld587 It definitely helps to have someone to talk about it with, even if just to vent.I tend to view it as: staying sober allows you to keep your agency. After you relinquish that, getting it back becomes more difficult.Just remember, though- we're all much stronger than we give ourselves credit for. And more worthy, of love, friendship, forgiveness, compassion...especially to ourselves.Wishing you the best! 💚

@futurebird @MichaelTBacon My buddy in high school and his family went out to dinner to celebrate his scholarship to Stanford. When they got home, his house was gone.I told him he was like a nerdy superhero...he saved his family with his brainpower 😂

@futurebird I know "both" isn't an available choice, and in the end I think you'll know which one is right for you.But if "both" was an option...I'd say that 😅Just think of all the great book material a kid provides! Plus- I feel like you'd never get a better ground-floor and up, intrinsic understanding of what motivates a human to do the things we do.But this is also coming from someone who's REALLY struggling to raise a hyperactive puppy with pica, so a tiny grain of salt with my vote 😂

@futurebird I think a lot of it had to do with the #scotus of it all, too. They've *completely* done away with even the faintest lofty notion that "no one is above the law," especially when it comes to tfg.And they worded their decision so that hicks' testimony could be ruled inadmissable. So I think Merchan chose to keep the case under his control, instead of letting it get to the purview of the #supremeCourtesans, where they could toss it completely & 'vindicate' trump

#Cat ‘Stolen’ by #Haitian Migrants in #Ohio Was Actually Just in Cat Owner’s Basement, butDonald Trump and JD Vance keep spreading debunked conspiracies:A reporter visited Anna Kilgore, a woman in the town who filed a police report in late August because she worried her cat Miss Sassy had been “taken by Haitian neighbors,” after she couldn’t find her.The Vance campaign pointed to Kilgore and her story as proof that Haitian immigrants were actually eating domestic animals...👇

☝️...But it simply wasn’t true. As the Journal reports, the cat “actually returned a few days later—found safe in her own basement.” And Kilgore, who’s a Trump supporter, now seems to have regrets.“Kilgore, wearing a Trump shirt and hat, said she apologized to her Haitian neighbors with the help of her daughter and a mobile-phone translation app,” the Journal writes. 🙄https://gizmodo.com/cat-stolen-by-haitian-migrants-in-ohio-was-actually-just-in-cat-owners-basement-2000500328

@futurebird #JonStewart does a podcast called The Weekly Show. It's kind of a mix between the Daily Show and Last Week Tonight.This episode's fun, because Jon goes off (politely and deservedly) on one of his guests for being condescending.https://youtu.be/Pcl6hqN82SU?si=HFXRxu7J2gRasIc2

Fuuuuuck...'None of these models have factored in extreme losses like we've observed, such as the 2023 wildfires in Canada that amounted to 6 months of US fossil emissions. 2 years before, Siberia also lost the same amount of carbon.Another process models miss is the fact that trees die from drought. None of the models have drought-induced mortality in their representation of the land sink. The fact that the models are lacking these factors makes them too optimistic.'https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/14/nature-carbon-sink-collapse-global-heating-models-emissions-targets-evidence-aoe

@futurebird @pitrh I feel like it's probably possible technologically...buuut who knows what shape the planet (and humans) will be in in X number of centuries.Also- musk et al could Kessler us in the next decade or two, so we may have to figure that out first. 😅

Harvard's massive #bitcoin bet is an #environmental disgrace:The endowment has a $443 million investment in #blackrock bitcoin. The global computing network supporting the #cryptocurrency uses more energy than Poland.After more than TRIPLING its investment recently, its bitcoin stake was bigger than any other publicly traded vehicle, with Microsoft a distant 2nd at $323M.But since Sept. 30, #Harvard has lost about $89M due to falling bitcoin prices.https://www.marketwatch.com/story/harvards-massive-bitcoin-bet-is-an-environmental-disgrace-0421f7ff?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqdYd5KcAffmMny5LDKNDqlvxGoShm-woY5Ionm7eyA4EYjvGq-gMg6FulzhabQ%3D&gaa_ts=691ec340&gaa_sig=w56DOmFtGFCicEesov_iiFKokSQHsoEF3RdzzbVRz6Q482vViru3w0I7hUd7VENcUe1-3oGGLdF3BTN0wygzvg%3D%3D
