Lithium-ion batteries contain large amounts of valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and copper.
By design, those batteries are ≈95% recyclable, yet less than half is currently being recycled.
A few thoughts on why that is, and why it should change.

This should go without saying, but it's okay if someone you don't agree with goes on a certain show or podcast. It's okay to be exposed to dissenting opinions. It's okay to feel uncomfortable. The biggest danger for the Democratic Party moving forward is the imposition of ideological purity tests.

@bsky.app really does feel so positive and devoid of BS spam. Can someone smarter than me explain why this product is operating better? Is it better code? Better moderation? Or has it just not reached a point where the trolls have decided to invade?
