First of all... Tylenol is made from oil? 🤯 Bacteria combined with existing #plastic waste can make pain reliever? This discovery from Stephen Wallace from University of Edinburgh is amazing. Fr @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Wow.

The “big, beautiful” bill ain’t beautiful—it’s bullshit. House Republicans just voted for the largest cut to SNAP & Medicaid in U.S. history—turning their backs on their own damn constituents: the working people they were sent here to represent. They don’t serve the people. They serve the rich.

He got unprecedented access to US data for his AI, enough federal contracts and government support for Starlink and SpaceX that they’re all set for money for awhile, and he made the government investigations go away. It was an astonishing payoff on his investment. And now he’s getting out of town.

A great interview. Listen and get Charles Brown's ARRESTED MOBILITY www.islandpress.org/arrested cc @islandpress.bsky.social

“The market is telling us that what we need to have right now is housing rather than offices…to the extent that we add housing to downtowns, they become more vibrant 24-hour places.” Must-listen for CT elected officials from @volts.wtf and @humantransit.bsky.social www.volts.wtf/p/how-is-tra...

Support PBS and PBS Kids... our kids need these programs as opposed to the other junk marketed to kids.

Great recommendation! cc @islandpress.bsky.social

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

Love this! Such a beautiful book!

Nice to see Thicker Than Water featured! "Cirino arms readers with alternatives to single-use plastic and advocates for more circular systems." @islandpress.bsky.social

Great new piece from @jmingle.bsky.social on how DOGE cuts for NOAA and other frontline agencies will have devastating impacts for understanding what's happening on the planet and what that means for those who depend on it. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/17/o... cc @islandpress.bsky.social

With Trump, Musk, and Adm Lee Zeldin busy dismantling EPA and slashing environmental, pollution, and climate regulations, it's worth remembering what America was like before we began to clean it up. #MakeAmericaPollutedAgain. 1/ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Nothing says ushering in the Golden Age like more toxic fumes in the air, contamination in our water, and higher utility bills. Actions like this from the Trump administration benefit corporations rather than the Americans who will bear the consequences for generations.

I'm delighted to say that the issue of the @thebulletin.org magazine that my colleague Dan Drollette and I have been working on for months, all about tipping points, is out today. My introduction to the issue is here: thebulletin.org/premium/2025...

Congrats to @jmingle.bsky.social on being named a 2025 NYPL's Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism finalist for his fantastic book GASLIGHT. A great book to read in this moment of how grassroots activism can win against a powerful company. www.nypl.org/about/awards...

The way these people hate children and the vulnerable makes my blood boil. Childhood cancer treatments should not be funded via philanthropy and no children should go hungry. End of story.

Thorough piece on the ongoing sprawl debate from @ear2thepavement.bsky.social with thought/ideas from @mnolangray.bsky.social in Current Affairs @currentaffairs.bsky.social cc @islandpress.bsky.social www.currentaffairs.org/news/in-spra...

This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.” “A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”

I finished reading @holz-bau.bsky.social's Building for People a couple of weeks ago. It provides a high-level overview of European development processes for eco-districts, and contrasts that with what happens in the US & Canada.

Trump’s pardons don’t stop with January 6 insurrectionists. On Tuesday, he also freed a massive dark web drug dealer. Ross Ulbricht ran Silk Road, an online black market that moved $200 million worth of illegal drugs, distributed fake passports, helped hackers collaborate, and laundered money.

In case you haven't heard, the 3rd edition of @nacto.bsky.social URBAN BIKEWAY DESIGN GUIDE is out. It's newly revised and includes lots of new stuff--policy, planning, and project development guidance plus more. cc @islandpress.bsky.social bit.ly/4ahuFl4
