@jeffjarvis What the effing eff?! I feel like I say that weekly now, but this, even in the context of everything, is appalling.

New research found toxic chemicals lurking in both recycled and virgin PET plastic. Think soda bottles, food packaging, and clothing. Recycling alone won’t solve the plastics crisis when the material itself is toxic.

Another reason that the solution is truly materials and stronger chemical transparency laws.

New study reveals toxic chemicals in both recycled and virgin PET - Defend Our Health

PLS IGNORE, WRONG LOCATION. NEED TO READ CLOSER NEXT TIME:

Truly appalling. Rocket City shouldn't be like this. Huntsville has a pride parade. Huntsville's city website highlights pride. Looking at the displays at the library...it's just absurd.

Worth noting, Huntsville no longer has a daily local newspaper. Huntsville Times became part of AL.com in 2012. (large website that covers statewide news)

The loss of daily local news is essential communities being aware of these...

@richmccue I've been trying out everything from PFAS to XRF to LVADs with people around I know who work with those devices and chemicals.

Each time I give no context for the acronyms I'm using and ask it to explain how it works, or what the clinical concerns are, or even what the political arguments may be.

Every time it is on point except for a few points here or there. WHICH IS ASTOUNDING.

ChatGPT is seriously remarkable.

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) has been unanimously elected leader of House Democrats, the first Black person to lead either party in either chamber.

A new chapter with new leadership.

Well done, Mr. Leader!

@leo Whoa! Still happy to be a part of this community.

Gotta say, I've been spending more time here than I expected. It's been years since I spent as much time on Twitter.

Looking at just a few of them and no one looks active yet. Have you come across any that are engaging with folks in the Fediverse?

Understanding your audience and what messenger delivers the message can have a pronounced impact on their perception.

Celinda Lake has been exploring this in dial tested messaging for years.
