'Forever chemicals' are seeping into waterways across Europe. A vanishingly small, man-made molecule resists all attempts of removal. How will the EU eradicate the pollution? www.ft.com/content/a36c...

My small take on today's Trump and Zelenskyy debacle.
First, I'm glad the deal didn't happen tbh, as due to this Ukraine didn't sell out to the US.
Second, we should stop being surprised by this sort of BS from Trump. Also all the media attention this getting is doing nothing in my opinion. 1/2

If you really don't want to see this, then switch your location to somewhere outside the US.
Imagine if Google hadn't renamed mountain Denali back in 2015 and kept it as Mount McKinley
