The EPA is prioritizing review of new chemicals to be used in data centers. Experts say this could lead to the fast approval of new types of forever chemicals—with limited oversight.

Soul Asylum’s “While You Were Out” LP was released on this date in 1986. It’s nice that whoever runs the band’s social media is on top of this stuff, and they posted the photo below among several others.

Midwest folks: You should read this story about pesticide drift.
For @biographic.bsky.social, I reported from across rural Illinois on an environmental crisis unfolding in the Midwest: herbicides drifting off millions of acres of crop fields are slowly killing oaks and other native tree species. #longreads
The Scourge of Native Oaks is Blowing in the Wind
Scientists and conservationists in the U.S. Midwest are working to stop herbicides from industrial agriculture from drifting onto the region’s remaining hardwood trees

Illinois has few remaining wetlands. A Trump administration proposal could decimate what’s left.

If the rule takes effect, more than two-thirds of Illinois’ wetlands could lose federal protections.

Yes to 1-3. How to generate the energy for 4-related activities?
Symptoms of middle-age I'd not have anticipated in my 20s:
1. Going off (a huge amount of) classic rock.
2. Finding it even harder to cope when confronted with the suffering of animals.
3. Thinking of 9pm as a totally reasonable bedtime.
4. Still wanting to climb trees & explore abandoned buildings.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Lax oversight, few inspections leave child farmworkers exposed to toxic pesticides
Child laborers and other farmworkers in California are being exposed to toxic pesticides, in part because of splintered enforcement of safety regulations.

Illinois has already destroyed 90% of its historic wetlands. Now the majority of those that remain lack federal protection.
These wetlands soak up floodwaters and keep them out of your basement. They keep your drinking water clean.

Illinois has no state-level protections for these ecosystems beyond some localized county-level protections, mostly in the Chicago area.

Illinois lawmakers urged to ‘step up’ and ‘fight like hell’ as EPA moves to cut wetlands protections
New U.S. EPA rule would strip protections from 72% of the state’s remaining wetlands, which play a crucial role in mitigating flooding and filtering drinking water.
