"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule Tuesday [April 9, 2024] that will require 218 chemical plants to reduce toxic and carcinogenic airborne pollutants, aiming to reduce the number of people with elevated cancer risk by 96% nationwide.

The rulings principally address chloroprene: used to make rubber products, and ethylene oxide, used primarily for sterilizing medical supplies. Long-term exposure to these chemicals and their manufacturing have been identified as possible carcinogens, or cancer-causing agents.

According to a report in the Washington Post, this can include lymphoma, leukemia, breast cancer, and liver cancer.

Across a strip of Louisiana and Texas where half of the 218 chemical manufacturing facilities set to be affected by the new regulations are located, cancer rates of these kinds are substantially higher than national averages, leading it to be colloquially called “Cancer Alley.”

EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited Cancer Alley during the open-comment period of the proposed ruling, and said that across the 85 miles dotted with communities, he failed to meet a single person who didn’t know a loved one or friend who had either developed cancer, died of it, or knew someone who had.

Once implemented, the ruling will reduce more than 6,200 tons of toxic air pollution each year, according to the Post."

the "aid" the US sent is 9 years expired food MREs that they can't cook because they don't have enough clean drinking water to make it edible. It's expired, by at least nine years. They stopped including the Tabasco sauces in MREs in 2015.

How are Gazans meant to make these? You need water to rehydrate the food. If they get food poisoning from eating nearly a decade old food, what do you think will happen to them? To the people who have been starving for months and are impoverished and malnourished? Who don't have the water and nutrients you need to heal yourself from sickness? And to top it all off, the food is Haram. They sent mostly pork and other haram meals. And halal MREs exist. They knew that most Gazans are Muslim and chose to not send the halal food. it's disgusting, it's horrid. The US and all of its leaders are evil and vile

Was engaging in my favorite hobby of Curating Lists (specifically in this case of the states I have visited and the ones I have yet to visit) and was wondering…which state would you all most like to visit that you haven’t been to yet and what city/area/site would you want to go there for?

im from new england and we also do king cake i didn't realize it was a southern thing? or like that most people didnt do it?

mardis gras is a celebration of the end of Carnival and the start of Lent (the name means "fat tuesday") and it's supposed to be about eating rich foods before the fasting period. it's a whole lot of celebrating and partying with all kinds of parades, foods, music, and costumes

seeing these proposed and even passed laws banning minors from social media without parental consent is so terrifying. like aside from the "government collecting data abt what their citizens are doing online" and the implications for online anonymity, i remember being a young mentally ill queer kid in a homophobic abusive household and idk how i wouldve gotten thru it without my online friends and the escape of the internet. and if a law like this had passed and my parents had been made aware of all my social media accounts i would have been in so much trouble for being queer & nonchristian & interested in secular media & swearing & complaining abt my parents & mentally ill & having friends they didn't like & etc etc. idk i think it's super fucking dangerous and sets a dangerous precedent

back to thinking about Gov making the regions intermingle, the Midwest and South was somehow the worst and best of all of them. What started off as Country Folk Shenanigans(TM) and a worrying amount of jello and/or cool whip based salads ended with a stand-off to see who was going to be impolite and leave first. They ended up having to send other states in to break it up.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I as a lifelong southerner had no earthly idea Blanc's accent was intended to be southern in Knives Out when I saw it in theaters; I remember being completely baffled by the KFC joke because I thought Blanc was from somewhere in Europe or something
