Link preview: the oil industry's latest disaster—trillions of gallons of buried toxic wastewater

This is a well-sourced article on a serious problem: the threat posed by toxic (radioactive. among other poisons) wastewater the oil industry has been injecting underground for a hundred years–all the while knowing it was not an acceptable longterm solution.

I love frying in peanut oil!

There is no "clean" coal, so he's the undisputed champion of something that doesn't exist.

She has aged a lot in 12 years. Wonder why...?

They keep saying that plants are being built all over the US now. They must be invisible.
Trump said there is a plant being built that is "4 miles wide." I think that would be evident. They just lie.

It is unfortunate because the event wouldn't be there at all without the local businesses.
My kids used to love going to the parade. A parade participant once gave a decorated hockey stick to my son. He was thrilled!

What did you find out?
I know it started out with local businesses, but that isn't how it is now.

So they are opening the door to destroy tourism in Branson?

Anyone who does capitulate, the reprieve is short-lived until the orange one needs another ego boost.
Any payments sent are only the first installment of the blackmail.

They run back to the safety of Fox News and other RW influencers to tell them what to think. An echo chamber of misinformation. Forget reality!

Is anyone else mentioned anywhere close to that amount? Dems need to start calling it the Trump Epstein files - every time.

Why do they continue to let him lie and just say things that can be so easily proven wrong?
State TV - propaganda
Seeing these interviews with no factual basis make me crazy!

We don't have a functioning FBI anymore.

Happy to be home!

Experiencing other cultures, eating local food and meeting different people is what makes the world a beautiful place.
When I travel, I take it as a compliment when people don't think I'm from the U.S.

It is more likely than not that ANY woman has experienced this in some manner. It is never OK. We all have stories.

A "Zahltag" Moment, in a United States of “On To Cincinnati” The crimes of Trump & Epstein are heinous, dark, and deep—but the perpetrators walk free. To survive as a democracy, we can't "turn the page." We must hold the traitors to account. Here's how.

"I don’t know if we are in a battle for the soul of the nation, as Biden once said. I don’t know if nations have souls. And if they do, I’m not sure ours wasn’t lost long ago. What I do know is that if there are no consequences for what these Trump villains are doing now, there is no coming back."

Calm down. Why are you so upset? Lighten up. Unhelpful words in an era of chaos and what white men can do instead.

“If I told you Trump raped me, would you believe me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re my sister.”

The rage burned out to blankness. I had no energy to point out most of the women and girls are someone’s sister, too.

@ronlyndomingue.bsky.social with an absolute must-read:

It all adds up. And the whole of the Trump Redux evil is greater than the sum of its malignant parts.

There is today a convergence of criminality—every bad thing everywhere all at once: amoral men & women of great means and influence, in league with Epstein & his child sex trafficking network...

I had a Cuban roommate in college who talked down any other Hispanics as well as Blacks. Her parents were refugees but wanted to pull up the ladder behind them. Her mother spoke almost no English.

Probably to keep the inside of the balloon from sticking together so that it could be blown up.
But yeah, it had an awful taste.

No thanks

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Follow along!

I read a ton of reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, both here and in the bad place.

I watched the show again this morning.

Yes, it was an incredible performance. Joyful, emotional, uplifting.

It was a love letter to humanity…to Puerto Rico…and more.

…

That trust bank doesn't get restored overnight.

Sweet story! Older pets finding a new home melt my heart.

Exactly! Such an insult to Italy.
And what did it cost to bring in that entourage of huge SUVs?

You have some very beautiful kitties for sure!
