Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

If I decided it was too much bother to clean my house so I moved into an igloo in Antarctica for the rest of my life, you'd think I was awful stupid.
Tech bros deciding they'd lose too much profit if they stopped destroying the Earth because they can move to Mars someday is even stupider.

Todd Blanche said it is DOJ policy NOT to release photos that contain victims.
So . . . the release of [undoctored] photos with Bill Clinton is an exoneration of him and refusing to release pics with Donald Trump is an admission of Trump's culpability.
Good to know.

Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work.
There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996.
We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy.
Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service
