EPA enforcement records that have been difficult to obtain are now searchable in one place. A new portal from PEER, the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative, and ToxicDocs.org brings together EPA inspection reports, notices of violation, and related documents. www.eyesonenforcement.org

Everybody’s acting like this is some dense genius shizz, but I was able to pick up the thrust of the argument by skimming the first few paragraphs. Just bc Mr. Sinker needs a copy editor (or three), doesn’t mean he’s not right, though.

You have to believe that boys can do better for them to do better. You have to take your own agency as a parent. This is a little human being who is learning how the world works from you. It is horrible and daunting, but teaching a little boy that men naturally step on women IS BAD FOR BOTH OF YOU

“The customer is always wrong, now” is a great way to capture how specialize finance has ruined everything from our favorite store to your political process. Margins are now the only customer. The only voter. We have but one real way to exert power over any of it anymore.

when you bake chocolate chip cookies and you pull them out of the oven and the edges are golden brown but the rest of the cookie is still pale brown and they're very soft and you think "i should cook these for another couple of minutes" DO NOT DO IT. THAT IS THE DEVIL SPEAKING. TAKE THEM OUT NOW.

I recently created my first D&D character in, uh, 27 years bc my son wanted to be a DM, and it was a dwarf cleric (both a race and class i had never played before) who is essentially a sanitary/water engineer for dwarven cities. What kind of middle-aged dad-power-metal ballad is this gonna be?

Was just reminded of this time that the whole building full of wildass smelly freaks and weirdos screamed along to “I Will Always Love You”. I think it was Dolly’s birthday too? In the top 3 best karaoke moments I’ve ever been a part of.

My favorite story is that she anonymously gifted high school band and music programs across the South, especially majority Black schools, with music, uniforms and instruments. We are all made better for living in the era of Dolly Rebecca Parton. May her memory be for a blessing always.

Dolly Parton understood something that too many of my public health colleagues have not grasped: a good idea isn't sufficient — you have to sell it. So she got vaccinated in front of cameras, and literally begged her fans to not hesitate, to vaccinate — to a reworking of Jolene

Remember that if you got the Moderna Covid vaccine, you have Dolly Parton to thank, she gave the largest individual contribution toward their research to make it possible.

I remember the first time someone explained to me that Dolly Parton was drag, and a lot of theoretical stuff about gender and performance clicked into place.

Back in March, KDKA Investigates checked out a community's complaints that their air smelled like nail polish remover, and found a major environmental violation by the nearby Sherwin-Williams plant. Today, the PA DEP announced a $124K civil penalty and a consent agreement.

NEW, from me: Today, nearly 1000 workers at Mount Nittany Medical Center in central PA have walked off the job on a 5-day strike. The nearly wall-to-wall union (somewhat rare in healthcare these days) has been in the midst of negotiations for months. Their contract expired July 1.

Reminder that it is illegal to record any personal conversation where any party (or any eavesdropper) is located in Pennsylvania without the consent of all parties. Also it’s just generally creepy to do it without telling the other folks.
