That one little boycott comment reveals so much.
The problem isn't that Twitter (don't let companies rename themselves out of their deservedly-bad reputations...) is a #toxic #hellhole that companies cannot afford to be associated with.
The problem isn't that #Musk's new direction for the company is taking it away from everything "brand safety".
The problem isn't Musk's #chaotic, #impulsive #butterfly #management.
The #problem, clearly, is #advertisers. They're so capricious!
Let’s Not Coat Our #Roads in #Toxic #Wastewater. Apparently this needs to be said.
This can't be a thing anyone's actually considering, right? Right? Drilling for #oil and #gas produces a lot of wastewater. There’s tons of the stuff just sitting around, too toxic to release back into the environment; so... Just dump it onto roads in #winter to stop #snow from sticking. Except that #drilling wastewater poisons cattle, and you go, why are we even talking about this?

A proposed #lithium mine presents a #climate versus #environment conflict
By David Boraks
November 12, 2022
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - “As world leaders meet for another climate summit in Egypt, the U.S. is pushing to mine more lithium for electric vehicle batteries at home. #EVs will help cut pollution from transportation, the nation's largest source of #GreenhouseGas emissions that cause global warming. But there's a tradeoff, as residents have learned near #CharlotteNC, where a big #OpenPit mine is proposed.
“A company called #PiedmontLithium wants to build a mine and processing operation on 1,500 acres in northern Gaston County, about 30 miles west of Charlotte.
“Emily Winter, a community relations coordinator and geologist for Piedmont, leads the way to a large rock outcrop near what someday might be the mine's South Pit.
“'So within this rock, it contains spodumene, the mineral. And that mineral spodumene contains lithium that we can convert to lithium hydroxide that then goes into batteries,' Winter explains.
“Lithium deposits run through the county in a mile-wide north-south band, known as the Carolina #Tin-#Spodumene Belt. For decades in the 20th century, mines here supplied most of the world's lithium, until cheaper sources were found in #SouthAmerica and #Australia. Now the element is in high demand for electric vehicle #batteries, and #investors see an opportunity.
“'There is very little production of lithium raw materials, or any battery raw materials, in the US. The potential's there, but it'll take time to bring it online,' says Piedmont Lithium CEO Keith Phillips.
“When Piedmont Lithium dedicated its new headquarters in the nearby town of Belmont this summer, U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis was there. The North Carolina Republican said the U.S. needs its own sources of lithium and lithium processing to counter #China.
“'The Chinese have a stated strategy of being the world's economic and military superpower by 2050. And they don't intend to do that through a great war. They intend to do it by putting their tentacles around the globe, economically,' Tillis said. 'They intend to make sure that the western world is dependent upon them for lithium, for tantalum, for #RareEarthMinerals, so that they can literally beat us by never firing a shot.'
“Tillis said that's why he supports Piedmont Lithium's efforts to open a new mine - as long as it's done in an #EnvironmentallyResponsible way. But that's the catch.
“Piedmont's plans call for four open-pit mines 500 feet deep. That means demolishing houses, digging up #farm #fields and #woods, and disrupting #streams. Some neighbors have sold their land to the company. But others whose property borders the site aren't happy.
“Locke Bell owns 120 acres backing up to the planned South Pit. 'Relative to the proposed mine, I have 4,160 feet of common boundary,' he says.
“Bell is a former district attorney and has been following Piedmont's plans since 2017, when the company approached him about mining on his land. He declined the offer after seeing a detailed map of the proposed mine.
“'Suddenly, I saw these massive mines - open pits... We have enough of that around here that's #toxic already,'' he says.
“He's talking about old lithium mines nearby that closed in the 1980s and 1990s and are now contaminated with arsenic, which occurs naturally in the area's soil and rocks.
“A few miles away on the other side of the mine site, Warren Snowdon has similar concerns. His family's old farm is just across a stream, about 600 yards, from the planned #EastPit. He's helping to lead an opposition group called #StopPiedmontLithium.
“'Our issue is on every front: It's water. It's air. It's light pollution. It's noise. It's traffic. Get us a solar farm. Get us a wind farm,' says Snowdon, who is quick to say he's not opposed to the country's transition to #renewable energy.
“State and local officials still must approve the mine
“Piedmont Lithium still needs key approvals, including state air and mining permits. Both are delayed while the company responds to requests for more information from North Carolina agencies. Piedmont also faces local political opposition.
“Chad Brown chairs the Gaston County Commission, which will have to approve a rezoning for the mine.
“'With the information I have right now, I probably would not call for a vote on this,' Brown says. 'I would have to have tons of more information just for the environmental side, and as far as #AirQuality, #WaterQuality, different things like that.'
“Last year, the commission adopted a 60-day moratorium so it could update its zoning rules to allow a mine. The ordinance has some teeth - it limits blasting and truck traffic, Brown says. But he's not sure Piedmont will be able to get the electricity and water it needs for mining and processing.
“Asked if he thinks the mining project will happen, he says, 'I think right now, you're still at 50-50, just for the simple fact of it's a long way out.'
“Still, Piedmont Lithium's CEO Keith Phillips is optimistic.
“'So the permitting process is more involved, and it will take longer. And our plan, our hope, is that we'll be in production in Carolina in 2026, and will be fully permitted and approved and funded sometime in 2024,' he says.
“While it pursues that goal, the company has a backup plan: It's building a processing plant in #Tennessee with help from a $141.7 million federal grant. And it's counting on mines in #Quebec and #Ghana to supply lithium ore.
“Piedmont's North Carolina neighbors are rooting for that backup plan instead of the open-pit lithium mine in their community."
Dealing with the #toxic legacy of the Giant Mine is challenging but this research offers a sliver of hope. https://cabinradio.ca/162369/news/yellowknife/bacteria-glass-and-cement-could-be-long-term-giant-mine-solutions/
After Musk took over, and particularly after demise of Pac 12, post about celebrating demise of Beavers and Cougars (yes, some fans are celebrating that these two are left out, and those are casual fans that really doesn’t know jack shit about college sports in details. Absolutely disgusting and toxic unsportsmanlike behavior) are front and center, because Musk took away the algorithm that worked before and put his own that puts brainless fans at front and center.
Going to end tonight on this post, just my observation about Pac 12 and Beavers/Cougars and Twitter/X.
Before Musk took over, all super toxic sports posts about the two mentioned teams, particularly by Duck fans, got hidden away, thanks to the algorithm.
GRAND CANYON URANIUM MINING
"The public lands surrounding #GrandCanyon National Park contain high concentrations of uranium ore. Mining bores deep into vertical rock formations called 'breccia pipes,' making #uranium soluble to #groundwater and risking pollution to Grand Canyon’s biologically rich springs. They then leave most of the removed material in #tailing piles that contribute to #water and #air #pollution.
"Because #UraniumMining is not consistently profitable, these mining operations are often abandoned for decades at a time — without any oversight or continued maintenance of the work area.
"Large drilling sites, tailing piles and mines are often left open to the forces of nature — leading to leaks into #groundwater, dispersal of #airborne uranium pollution and #dust, and unsafe conditions for recreational visitors to public lands. And if and when these old mines are cleaned up, the cost burden usually falls on the American public.
"Even more disconcerting is the #toxic legacy left on public lands and sacred #AmericanIndian sites. Iconic landscapes have been marred, and sources of drinking water remain polluted. Manmade ponds containing uranium-contaminated water are left uncovered and used by native #birds and other #wildlife. These mines affect #abitat for more than 100 sensitive species, including #muledeer, #mountainlions, imperiled #Californiacondors and highly endangered native #fish.
"#Groundwater #pollution has the potential to seep into underground #aquifers used for drinking water and into seeps and springs that are the lifeblood for animals in the arid Grand Canyon region.
"The Center for Biological Diversity opposes all uranium mining near Grand Canyon. Over the past decade, we have worked through the courts, through Congress, with the president and in the media to prevent new uranium mining and force the closure and cleanup of old uranium mining sites. To date we have been successful in securing and defending a ban on new uranium mining claims for 20 years on the doorstep to Grand Canyon National Park and have pushed back the reopening of old uranium mines through aggressive litigation.
Our work continues today.
"We've submitted a legal petition to the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management asking them to update old uranium-mining regulations that don't adequately protect #PublicLands, tribal communities and human health.
"We're supporting a campaign to designate a monument that would permanently ban new uranium mining on 1.7 million acres of land that contain the sacred sites of many American Indian tribes, habitat for endemic and endangered species, and tributaries of the #ColoradoRiver.
"And we're fighting existing uranium mines, and the efforts of the mining industry to roll back existing protections, in federal court."

Scientists have found a ‘sleeping giant’ of environmental problems: Earth is getting saltier
#Salt used to de-ice roads is the single biggest source of salt in the U.S.
By Kasha Patel
October 31, 2023
"Human activities are making the globe saltier, specifically in our soils, fresh water and air, according to a study released Tuesday in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.
"The excess salt has already caused serious issues in freshwater supplies in recent decades. Saltier water led to brown tap water for months in Montgomery County, #Maryland. It also played a part in creating the #toxic lead-laden water in #FlintMichigan.
"Salt pollution isn’t some flashy threat to our existence — like, say, a meteor hitting Earth — but the issue is gravely overlooked and is a 'sleeping giant,' said Sujay Kaushal, lead author of the study. He said it might be the 'most boring but contemporary problem that we have.'
"Most people think of salt as the white specks we put in our food or the salt in oceans, chemically known as sodium chloride (NaCl). That sodium salt can also be found in detergents, other household products and more, but there are many different salts, including calcium, magnesium and other ions used in additional products — and they’re all increasing in places where they don’t normally occur.
"Over the past 50 years, salt ions have increased in #streams and #rivers as people have begun using and producing more salts, the study says. The team found that across the globe, about 2.5 billion acres of soil — an area about the size of the United States — have become saltier. Salt lakes are also drying up and sending saline dust into the air.
“'We use water for everything from growing crops to drinking to industrial processes to heating and cooling,' said Kaushal, a geologist at the University of Maryland. 'But when you have salt in the water, it affects all of those things … and it’s increasing.'"

Good to see this report @cbcNorth. "An official with the Giant Mine remediation project says if #wildfire were to reach the site there's no risk the 237,000 tonnes of water-soluble arsenic trioxide buried underground would leach into the environment." https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/giant-mine-wildfire-risk-1.6947896

If you need a textbook definition of #Toxic #Masculinity, it's Rubiales.
He aggressively and very publicly kisses a Hermoso without her consent (bordering on SA), and rather than apologising, taking his medicine and learning; he doubles down on it, claims he's being 'cancelled' and generally throws his toys out of the pram.
What a colossal bellend.
"While change is inevitable for this planet and all life, the heat we are now experiencing is not. It is the result of #toxic systems that are putting stress on every one of #Earth’s #ecosystems at the same time."
Admin of Lemmy instance lemm.ee contemplates defederating from toxic tankie troll instance hexbear.net in community post open for discussion to lemm.ee users.
hexbear users promptly brigade post, heavily trolling any- and everyone who says anything they don’t like for 24 hours, quickly proving every criticism of them true in massive shitshow of toxicity.

@techaddressed Yup. Pretty damning for sure. I have no doubt that working at #LMG is a #toxic environment at a minimum, especially (unfortunately) for women. Although the corporate machine (new C-level people) slows things down, at least they can tell #Linus to sit down, shut up and let more cool-headed people handle this situation correctly.

#Florida’s #Environmental Failures Are a Warning for the Rest of the U.S.

"Dynamite and dredging were the tools chosen to drain the #Everglades and tame the waters. What once belonged to the #Tequesta #NativeAmericans, amid a wealth of #wildlife, became #ParkingLots and #Hotels owned by #WhitePeople. Today, many of those parking lots are submerged during #storms and, in some areas, the hotels overlook waters #toxic with #industrial and #construction #waste..."

Elon's talking about removing the ability to block people on Twitter. Yet ANOTHER perfect reason to quit Twitter if you haven't already.

What's happening at #Target goes far beyond just a few #Extremists calling for a #boycott.
If you too have been finding out about #chemical #weapons from the excellent expert that is Dan #Kaszeta (his book #Toxic is a terrific read on the history of #nerveagents ) you would probably be quite surprised to hear he has been disinvited - watch his interview with BBC's Sima Kotecha on #Newsnight tonight on being “blacklisted”- from a govt conference 'after check on social media has identified material that criticises govt officials & policy' He wasn’t due to speak about policy matters.
I talked to Pacific Free Press' Gorilla Radio today about my latest CovertAction Magazine article on #whistleblower retaliation, and compared what I learned to my personal story of "discovering just how #toxic #Apple's work environment can get" 🍎☠️

Picture 3 is a really bad idea.
Iris rhizomes are toxic to almost all mammals including equines and other parts of the plant to a lesser degree.

The production of #cement, an ingredient in #concrete, accounts for roughly 8% of the world’s annual #carbon #dioxide emissions ( #CO2 ), making it a significant target of #greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. Toward those efforts, the Rice lab of chemist James Tour used flash Joule heating to remove #toxic heavy metals from fly ash

@simonlbn @actuallyautistic yes. This! I expect to be making lots of new discoveries as I go. A lot of mine were aligned to “#introversion,” but some weren’t and now my eyes are opening to they all aligned with #Autism. The ignorance and denial of support is so damned #toxic.
But when I see how aggressively our society is trying to legislate against other groups, it’s hard to image us ever addressing #ableism.
Toxic train wreck in #Ohio hits close to home in #Nevada
John L. Smith. February 26th, 2023
"In Nevada, those who have devoted decades to the fight against the Department of Energy’s proposed #NuclearWaste repository at #YuccaMountain viewed the Ohio #derailment through a different lens. The recent #toxic event was the sort of #accident they had feared might happen during the transportation of high-level radioactive material across the country had the dump project moved forward.
"'Groups across the country, the people who think about nuclear waste are really worked up about [the recent derailment],' longtime Yucca Mountain opponent Judy Treichel says. 'The email is just rocketing back and forth.'

@joshsusser One of the #toxic things about #masking is that people who others think are perfectly functional have major stuff going on behind the scenes. I’m glad that there is a #community of folks out here that’s finding one another and casting aside the mask. Perhaps we can support each other in reducing the self-shame and seek paths toward addressing some of the inhibitors. The first step is often realizing we’re not alone. #ActuallyAustistic @actuallyautistic #AutisticAF
