The worst drinks for microplastic contamination revealed New research has revealed that hot drinks may be an even bigger source of microplastics than was previously realised

A predictable outcome from disposable cups and plastic teabags: astonishing it has taken this long for this work to be done

Nutrient found in eggs helps lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, study shows

Funny how the headline says β€œnutrient found in eggs lowers Alzheimer’s risk” instead of β€œcholine found in broccoli, lentils, almonds, soya milk, cauliflower, kidney beans, tofu, quinoa, and peanuts lowers Alzheimer’s risk” - almost like it was paid for by the egg industry πŸ₯šπŸ’°

A Startup is Selling Data Hacked from Peoples’ Computers to Debt Collectors Infostealer data can include passwords, email and billing addresses, and the embarrassing websites you use. Farnsworth Intelligence is selling to to divorce lawyers and other industries.

New from 404 Media: a startup is selling data hacked from peoples' computers to debt collectors, divorce lawyers, more. People already hacked, now being re-vicitmized by startup. I used the tool, found peoples' personal addresses.

β€œThis is so gross and predatory.”

Do we actually need the wealthy? It's a question in need of an answer.
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy Do we actually need the wealthy? It's a question in need of an answer.

Do we actually need the wealthy? youtu.be/ZY_7CJbeGCw?... We’re starting a new series: unpacking the myths around wealth. From who the wealthy are, how they got their money, to whether we really need them at all. This is about dismantling the stories the rich tell to keep us in line.

Note for Centrists/liberals who are confused as to why they are so unpopular now

You are watching neoliberalism collapse in on itself and fascism tightening its grip on international politics while *still* demanding we protect the status quo that got us here - you have every reason to be despised.

And don't let them call themselves "wealth creators" either.
They are primarily and predominantly wealth extractors for themselves.

When confronted on how they are creating wealth for their nation in offshore tax havens, there's normally some Mogglike blabber about perfectly legal and above board.

This is a critical message that requires action NOW

Make no mistake, however, this is no longer about stopping #climate breakdown, but about making it that little bit less catastrophic

And will world leaders act on it? No

Treasury to hand Bank of England Β£130bn in next five years in stealth subsidy to bankers As Chancellor looks to public spending cuts, the Treasury is set to give the Bank money that could instead be used to provide grant funding for over half a million social homes

Can we afford to be afraid of nuclear power? Not only is nuclear essential if we want to reach net zero – it’s the key to tackling poverty, too

READ MY LIPS!!

Nuclear is absolutely NOT essential to reaching net zero in 2050

This is - in fact - a lie

And fear is nowhere near the top of reasons for not embracing nuclear. There are plenty more - see mine and others previous posts

There are many British commentators who have made several posts showing deep concern for Rachel Reeves over the last 24 hours but apparently lost their phones whilst hundreds of thousands of disabled people were terrified of losing the benefits they need to live.

Italy chemical plant execs jailed for pollution An Italian court on Thursday sentenced executives at a chemical plant to jail terms of up to 17 years for polluting water used by hundreds of thousands of people with PFAS, or "forever chemicals".

Italy court sends 11 executives at a chemical plant to jail terms of up to 17 years for polluting water, a total of more than 141 years.

Puts UK to shame.

UK buries corporate crimes - water, Post Office, Grenfell, infected blood, bank frauds.

Govts/Regulators serve corporations, not people.
