Pollution from Ineos’s Antwerp plastic plant ‘will cause more deaths than jobs created’ Lawyers challenge €4bn Project One development, saying emissions and health impacts vastly underestimated The deaths from pollution caused by Europe’s biggest plastic plant, which is being built in Antwerp, will outstrip the number of permanent jobs it will create, lawyers will argue in a court challenge issued on Thursday. In documents submitted to the court, research suggests the air pollution from Ineos’s €4bn petrochemical plant would cause 410 deaths once operational, compared with the 300 permanent jobs the company says will be created.

LightLark (Daily React) “BookTok phenomenon and award-winning author Alex Aster delivers listeners a masterfully written, utterly gripping YA fantasy novel.” Yeah whatever. Suzy Jackson reads the shit out of this epicness!

As an #aphant, the fantasy genre is rough for me to connect with. The more complex the worldbuilding, the more blank the space in my mind. I've been experimenting with different fantasy work paired with amazing narrators these past few months with mixed results but #SuzyJackson is an amazing reader.

I was browsing through the #aphant hashtag and found your post today :)

I also found out today that it's common among aphants to skip the long winded descriptive passages. I do still read a bunch of fantasy though.

I quite liked the article linked from this post, which is where I found that.

NY post cover calling nyc "the red apple" with zohran wielding a hammer and sickle

NY Post?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.

In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.
