I mean, what can be done about this level of contamination? So many chemicals.

@jimduncan Maybe? Or maybe it’s bacteria. Or maybe it’s runoff from oil from a nearby road (which is bad for sure but, like, normal bad). https://www.michigan.gov/egle/about/organization/water-resources/assessment-michigan-waters/naturally-occurring-phenomena/bacteria
Bacteria

@jimduncan (I’ve seen a lot of poorly sourced videos and photos claiming to be OH/PA pollution etc., and I suspect a non-zero percentage of these are foreign propaganda. As of the actual problem wasn’t terrible enough!)
@waldoj I hate this world. Why is finding good information so hard? (He asked, rhetorically)
@jimduncan For the Ohio story, I’m trying to rely only on known media outlets, and avoid anything else, because surely Russia et al are all over this. Anytime there’s a “the media is ignoring this” vibe, that’s fertile soil for foreign propaganda.
