Black lung rates in Appalachia are now as high as in the 1970s, after dropping for many years. The culprit: increased exposure to silica. The Biden administration issued a protective silica standard in 2024, but the Trump administration is still refusing to enforce it. www.npr.org/2026/08/05/n...
Black lung rates in Appalachia are high as the 1970s, with thousands of miners sick
Rates are now the highest they've been in nearly 50 years among veteran coal miners. Mining experts blame toxic silica dust, now more common in mines.

Since I made you think about Eric Clapton, here’s a palate cleanser that goes out to one of my favorite people that also has a Ramones tattoo, @magicbeans.bsky.social youtu.be/1b9eGLaG7pg?...

For sure! Musicianship in general was suspect for the music I liked as a teen/young adult. I was much slower to come around on them than other folks I know—a couple years ago I said I was listening to “Aja” for the first time and folks were shocked.
This very obvious pivot of trying to associate anything with pistachios with Dubai is so bizarre and off-putting
responsiblestatecraft.org/morocco-spai... The quincy institute is getting in on the ‘people are saying the Jews did it’ bandwagon. But don’t worry, they are just asking questions.
Are US and Israel benefitting from 'migration blackmail' in Spain?
Analysts accuse Morocco of unleashing undocumented migrants into Ceuta. Many note how Tel Aviv and Washington are seizing the moment with particular zeal.

Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is actual antisemitism - not because it’s criticizing Israel, but because it attributes agency over all migration to Israel, with no evidence. This is just the Great Replacement conspiracy, and it is ultimately far-right. Such conspiracism is going to destroy the left, if it isn’t policed.
lol I feel like Elizabeth Warren. “I have a post for that!” But tldr I think it’s the difference between post-beat boomer smirk and boomer yacht rock vanity meaning jack shit in the 90s. Ironic distance was needed to appreciate ironic distance. anthony-is-writing.ghost.io/steely-dan-a...
Steely Dan: Anthony's Album Guide
Paying my respects to the impressive albums of two jazzy jerks who'd probably have no time for me. Definitely not my record collection.

Realizing how similar my love of Steely Dan is to my love of metal; my love of unapologetic mastery and superiority, of being simultaneously, proudly lamer and cooler than everything else
At its core, “art-rock” is anytime somebody’s combining and classying and complexifying beyond the needs of commerce. So while new modes of it appear, they don’t transcend a concept established by ‘67.
Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
It’s a hilariously stupid challenge, like, imagine trying to survive without your Cuisinart food processor. Oh gosh, set me adrift on an ice floe right now

Even the people I know who use AI would say yes to this. How addicted do you have to be to think people who got on their whole adult lives without AI would, curl up and die without it?!

I would be thrilled to have a google that worked again! To find recipes that I know real people made and tested! To not have these intrusive ass bots condescendingly asking if they can summarize things for me, as if I'm not a grown ass person who's been reading and comprehending text for DECADES.

Congrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social on your historic victory! A father, fighter, and our Democratic nominee for Senate from Michigan. You demonstrated what's possible when we're accountable to the people — not corporations. And we're taking nothing for granted as we work to win in November.
UAW members congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for Michigan U.S. Senate!

Just checked. Whitman fucked Edward Carpenter and Carpenter fucked Arthur! So.. grand fuckers.
Reminds of of how Chester A Arthurs only grandson fucked both Walt Whitman and Alan Ginsburg, was an Irish revolutionary, became an important figure in tarot reading and once starred in a movie with civil legends legend Paul Robeson.
There! Are! Eight! Clayfaces! (At minimum, we also seem to have established that his DNA makes a Clayface of anyone it comes in contact with, and also that he can just pinch off a loaf of himself and have it become a new Clayface with its own consciousness and sometimes a different gender.)

OK, friends: Near as I can tell, DEAD TEENAGERS #5 is out at digital retailers, but print issues will be delayed until this Wednesday, August 5. So the issue is both out and not out. Schrodinger's Comic, if you will.
DEAD TEENAGERS #5 out now!!!@judedoyle.bsky.social · 6d agoAt last, the finale of DEAD TEENAGERS is upon us, and the covers are leaning hard into that JT-Alicia relationship. Let's see how it plays out for them!
Michigan primary: We are watching AP estimates that have Dems with a 46% higher turnout than R voters.
