After the EPA found that ethylene oxide is 30 times more carcinogenic than previously thought, it updated regulations to protect the people who are most exposed to it. Now, the agency’s ability to do that for many air pollutants is under threat. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

Trump’s EPA Could Limit Its Own Ability to Use New Science to Strengthen Air Pollution Rules

In government records that have flown under the radar, the EPA is questioning its legal authority to revise pollution rules more than once when new science shows unacceptable health risks.

Patrick was special. He was nicer than just about anyone in the industry, funnier, and probably more talented. As a boss, he was always patient and kind, but he also loved to share wisdom and lift others up. Pat, I'll treasure the time you gave us ❤️ www.dexerto.com/gaming/patri...

Words can't even begin to describe this loss. Pat was a staple in my day to day. The constant Discord messages, him sending me whatever internet trend he was obsessed with at the moment, constantly trying to plan our next Destiny dungeon run, the list goes on...

Pat was stupid great kindness and big heartedness and I am devastated. For almost 10 years I was lucky enough to count him as a close friend, he always cared so deeply it was like being around the sun. I can’t believe I won’t get to hang out with my pal and chat about penguins and lore anymore

A light has been lost. Patrick was a joy. He was patient, kind and had a way with words. Our friendship started and grew from playing Destiny and continued from there. We only had 2 opportunities to meet in person and I am forever grateful for those. I’ll miss you, buddy. Eyes up, guardian.

The frequency with which this is happening is so bleak and depressing. Knowing a book has no AI before beginning it, and paying for it, and spending time on it, shouldn’t be a guessing game.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July)

A “Striking” Trend: After Texas Banned Abortion, More Women Nearly Bled to Death During Miscarriage

A new ProPublica data analysis adds to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of first-trimester miscarriage far more dangerous.

they’re calling the most recent shooter in minnesota trans to ignore the fact that there has been an organized group of far-right suicidal school shooters and this person is very likely going to be linked to them as well
