The article isn’t claiming that it is impossible to recycle some certain types of plastic, the problem is that only 5% of plastics are being recycled at extremely high cost and risk.
Plastics companies are misrepresenting plastic recycling capability while writing and influencing laws that profit plastics corporations and directly poisoning the health of almost every living thing on the planet.
California is correct. scientists have been saying for decades that most plastics are not at all recyclable, and it’s very easy to follow the trail of those plastics to landfills.
rad, thank you
of course i skim this one and it’s in the final paragraph.
thank you!
I’ve read like eight of these articles about this Moon just trying to find out if we can see it without a telescope.
I’m assuming we can’t see it, but none of the articles I’ve read mention it. it seems crazy that none of them mention its visibility.
Will we be able to see the second moon?
exactly correct.
haha, I’ve never seen that, thanks for sharing, it’s awesome.
also, he’s a rapist.
this is a great article, and somewhat unrelated, do all publications not have built-in grammar checks for their articles?
“…crime they were later they later exonerated…”
i keep seeing worse and worse typos, although it’s difficult to call them typos at this point, how does such a clusterfuck happen these days?
appreciate it, i enjoy these rabbit holes.
the phrase started out as “bury the lead”, but newspaper journalists specifically changed only the spelling, though not the usage or definition, into “lede” because news printers were allegedly worried people would get confused since part of the printing of a newspaper contained the metal lead.
“The use of the alternate spelling of lead in the journalistic phrase “burying the lede” began in the 1970s. Newsrooms began to use the alternate spelling to refer to an article’s opening lines, distinguishing it from a part on the linotype machine made with lead.”

either spelling can be used, Merriam Webster has a good article about “lede” too, with more examples and context, explaining that writers
"…attributes the fondness for the spelling to nostalgia, calling it “an invention of linotype romanticists, not something used in newsrooms of the linotype era.”
Despite the acknowledgment of lede by Safire and others, and its subsequent use by journalists and non-journalists alike, phrases employing the traditional spelling of lead still find their way into print…"
and as Choire Sicha points out:
“You schmucks who use ridiculous journo-terms make me crazy! Finally, someone is willing to speak out against the use of “lede” in public. Because, ha ha, sucka, there’s no reason for it!”

Buried lead:
"…Pickles tried to say that people might be sharing the content “out of outrage” or to “raise awareness,” both very strange answers.
“Accounts dedicated to distributing, accounts engaging in this, we want off Twitter, off X as fast as possible. But there are cases globally where people do share this content out of outrage. And in those cases, we do look at whether removing the content is the appropriate response,” Pickles said at the August 2023 hearing.
But Australian senators clearly weren’t having it.
“Well, I’m sorry, but if I’m outraged by some content, I’m not going to share that to make the point,” Australian Senator Helen Polley told Pickles during the hearing. “But what I would do is, if I am a consumer of that type of material, you’re now just saying, if I just share that in the pretense that I’m outraged, that’s okay.”
Polley pointed out that Australia had laws against allowing people to share child abuse images online, just as every other country does.
“Well, it’s actually a crime. It’s a crime, and it should be suspended permanently,” Polley continued. “There is no excuse whether you’re posting something through outrage, which to me is not logical, that your account should not be permanently suspended.”
will Wallace finding that Trump was “engaging in insurrection” be part of the prosecuting argument?
wow, this implies that there are Muslim voter organizations undecided or endorsing dumps.
