The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

Iowa and Missouri: 60 miles of river over 2 states contaminated by fertilizer spill, killing hundreds and hundreds of thousands of fish... close to 1m is the estimate

The New York Times reported that a fertilizer spill in Iowa killed the majority of fish across 60 miles in waters that flow into the Missouri River, resulting in an estimated 789,000 perishing. The spill expanded into both Iowa and Missouri, being seen as an ecological disaster.

The incident resulted from an open valve in a storage tank at NEW Cooperative, an agricultural business. The tank leaked up to 265,000 gallons of liquid nitrogen fertilizer into the East Nishnabotna River, which eventually feeds into the Missouri River.
the extent of the damage done to wildlife made the spill 'one of five largest on record'

people are becoming more and more 'plastic', with plenty of body parts found to contain microplastics.
this new study has implications regarding male fertility

(The Hill) — A new study has found a “pervasive” presence of microplastics in human and dog testicles.

The research, published last week in the Toxicological Sciences journal, found that out of all 47 canine and 23 human testes that were examined, all had a presence of microplastics.
Researchers at Yu’s university in New Mexico collected testicles from autopsies of people aged 16 to 88 and from nearly 50 dogs after they were neutered.
Researchers dissolved the biological issue, and about 75 percent of what remained in their samples was plastic. Most of it was polyethylene, which is used in packaging, bags and many products.
they found a correlation between lower sperm count in the dogs' testicles and the presence of a chemical largely found in pvc piping.

Nanoplastics are a newly discovered problem. Hundreds of thousands of nanoplastic particles in a single bottle of water. Micro cellular - getting in cells and having the cells build structures around them.

Plastics in placentas, testicles, breast milk, blood.

And don't forget about the PFAS!

This is a nightmare.
 
"The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed, and if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the Earth plus Plastic. The Earth doesn’t share our prejudice towards plastic. Plastic came out of the Earth; the Earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the Earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place: it wanted plastic for itself, didn’t know how to make it, needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old philosophical question: “Why are we here?” Plastic, assholes!

So the plastic is here, our job is done, we can be phased out now. "

Or maybe plastic assholes. Literally.

This timely report on corn farming includes the grim fact that farms pollute groundwater with nitrate fertilizer, resulting in blue baby horrors among other things. The Midwest contaminates itself without big spills.

Yeah except that whole thing where life on earth did not evolve with the presence of plastic and it is toxic to much of the fauna and is even causing problems for the flora.

Although I do like Carlin, so I'll give him tongue-in-cheek credit.
 
That's his whole point. No people. no plastic.

Florida priest accused of biting woman during dispute over Communion bread​


“In the Catholic Tradition, the Eucharist is considered ‘the source and summit’ of worship and faith. The act of participation in Holy Communion therefore calls for a proper understanding, reverence, and devotion,” the statement from the Diocese reads. “It is not something a person can arbitrarily demand and is certainly not a mere ‘cookie’ as the complainant called it,” the statement adds.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/24/us/st-cloud-fl-priest-communion-dispute/index.html

Huh. I remember them being given to all the kids in mass. As they skipped around, calling them cookies. But that's okay because then it's about indoctrination.

Wonder if the woman was gay or trans.

Regardless this is not a priest who I would consider responsible enough to handle any flock.

So he had a permit for 3500, the space is less than half filled. That would be about 2k. Max.

Interesting numbers being reported by some "media".

Not to mention, even a pro-MAGA site reported that the crowd was no where near what the MAGAt organizers claimed, and also, that many if not most in the crowd were from outside the Bronx.

womp womp womp…

😑
 
Trump went to the Bronx. 3500 Expected. A whole lot more showed up. Here’s why, and why NY Dems are hopping mad about it.

seriously, the WE? lol too fucking funny boomer, your desperation reeks....have a shower...

Overall, we rate the Washington Examiner Right Biased based on editorial positions that almost exclusively favor the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks.

Like on this article....
 
Understandably, there’s a question about crowd size. The Washington Examiner columnist cited the Trump-friendly NY Post. Here’s what some not so Trump friendly media outlets reported. Basically the crowd was big, mostly local, and very diverse. Enjoy.

———
“CNN National Correspondent Kristen Holmes told viewers that there was "a bigger crowd than Democrats would like to see." She added that at some rallies, the Trump campaign brings people from other areas but many of the people she spoke to at the Bronx rally were locals.”
—————

“MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire also said the crowd was around 7,000 people during a show.”

NYT
“In front of him was a more diverse crowd than is typical of his rallies, with many Black and Hispanic voters sporting bright red “Make America Great Again” hats and other Trump-themed apparel ordinarily scarce in deep-blue New York City. Still more people stood outside, waiting to get past security.

“But people at his Bronx rally said they had directly seen the impact on their neighborhoods of the surge of migrants, which has strained the municipal budget as the city provides housing and other social services.

Rafael Brito, a Queens resident who said he had come to the United States from the Dominican Republic, said he thought the migrant crisis had exacerbated crime and made it more difficult for his neighbors to get services they needed.

“The whole neighborhood has changed,” Mr. Brito, 51, said.
