Turning old plastic into new plastic is really, really hard. Products made with dyes, flame retardants and other toxic chemicals create a health hazard when heated for recycling, severely limiting the products you can make from recycled plastic. (Published Aug. 2024)

A bright bolide (fireball meteor) exploded high in the atmosphere off the Massachusetts coast around 2:30pm ET. The loud boom heard widely in Boston and RI, was its sonic boom as it fragmented—confirmed by GOES-19 satellite, WBZ meteorologists, and no USGS quake.

To be clear, I know this image is fake because the ballroom doesn't exist But it seems not-ideal to advertise a high-value military target on social media

Trump posts an image of his “drone port” on top of the White House, which raises the question of who they’re planning to drone in and around DC

Two days ago, retired border patrol Nazi Greg Bovino promised “a twist” related to Delaney Hall. He said “they won’t see this coming”, and that standing up “citizen militias” is a good idea. Today, the Proud Boys arrived on scene.

The dearth of media literacy thing has been around for a while, but never mind interpreting texts critically, a lot of people now just straight up do not know how to even watch a TV show or movie in the first place anymore.

I dunno. Maybe because that's a stupid thing to want?

And of course Betty Bowers is spreading conspiracy theories now. Shocking that someone who has repeatedly spread misinformation and blocks anyone when called out for it would do such a thing. So many people desperately need better heroes.

Replying to @stephenwolf.bsky.social

Democrats in California and Virginia have targeted 9 Republicans in response to Republicans in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio targeting … 9 Democrats. At most it’s a proportionate response, but even that may overstate how many seats Democrats would likely flip solely thanks to new maps

Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social

On the old CA map, Dems may have flipped 4 GOP seats that Trump won by <6 points. Prop 50 passed in 3 of them. By contrast, the GOP targeted many seats they were unlikely to win in a Dem wave, including: MO: 1 NC: 1 OH: 1-2 TX: 3-5 The GOP has gained considerably from new maps when viewed this way

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors. My report:
