A thing no one taught me until I briefly lived in Ohio at 25 years old! But I would
argue I should have learned in grade school!

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.

Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

I was also a pre-teen+teen in the aughts, and was very much IN step with the pro-war mainstream. It took my own maturing, an intense lecture from my uncle who served in Vietnam*, and the truth coming out about (the lack of) WMDs, for me to realize how wrong I’d been.
I was a teenager in the early aughts, and it felt out-of-step with so much mainstream opinion to speak out against war. What is happening now is cruel and sad and wrong, and you don't have to let anyone make you feel bad for thinking and saying so.

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state

There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.

pleasantly surprised that THUNDERBOLTS is pretty good. it feels like a throwback to the earlier days of the MCU. tangential connection to lore, an actual dramatic arc for its key characters, and lower stakes than “save the world”
