“The earth needs plastic.” George Carlin.
A group of scientists from Shandong University in China collected cloud water atop Mount Tai, finding microplastics in 24 out of 28 samples. They include polyethylene terephthalate (otherwise known as PET), polypropylene, polyethylene and polystyrene, all particles commonly found in synthetic fibers, clothing and textiles, as well as packaging and face masks.
“There’s only one group of animals on this planet that use plastic, and that’s us human beings,” said Couceiro. “We really need a global response to this, as it’s not going to be solved by a single country, because air doesn’t respect boundaries.”
We’re entering “The Plasticene Era”

Can TPM please stop including Twitter/X posts in their articles? Might as well embed a link to the Klan. Can we please kill this addiction? Fish out the damn clip on CSPAN. it is possible to report the news without directing profits to a white supremacist organization.

The House of Representatives Senate as the new venue for World Wide Wrestling, I can see it.
I am sure it would have many eyeballs watching from the TVs, video monitors, tablets, cell phones and more. It would receive many clicks.
Our Corporate Overlords would be both proud and supportive: Made In America.
Ok, updated my pitch based on @southerndem point; but I think the House works depending on the day of the week, with the added feature that it is mostly among Republicans themselves. Let’s not get picky about a great idea. /snark

Remember this?
This was Pence right before he suspended his campaign.
Now if Iowians would just get tired of Donnie, and he’d only draw enough to fit in a HS detention room…that would be news!

No doubt Bibi’s desire to keep his coalition together has made life more difficult for everyone in Israel as well as people on the West Bank. I read the settlements are becoming more unpopular. My guess is they are seen as gas on a fire that is already too hot.
But it is also true that Palestinians represented by people in Hamas and the PLO have done nothing over the years to make the dream of a two state solution a reality. If and when Netanyahu gets the boot, it would be helpful if there was someone on the Palestinian side to negotiate with that actually cared about the well being of the Palestinian people.
