I think cancer rates going up are a lot of things. I think medicine overall has gotten significantly better that because people aren’t dying nearly as young as they used to are then able to go on to develop cancer they otherwise wouldn’t have, I think that our increasingly sedentary lifestyles are certainly not helpful, I think the constant stresses of daily existence under late stage capitalism is extremely unhealthy, I think the amount of high calorie low nutrition highly processed foods we consume have a huge affect. Also cancer is an extremely large umbrella term for an affliction that comes about in more ways than there are cancers, melanoma comes from prolonged UV exposure, lung and mouth cancer come from a wide array of carcinogens operating on numerous mechanism, like Radon works completely differently from tobacco smoke and diferently from asbestos.

I think there is much stronger evidence for a multitude of other things causing cancer than solely glyphosate.

PFSA… kinda?, glyphosate…maybe…? honestly we’ve done a ton of studies since glyphosate was first created in the 70s there really aren’t any known significant health risks. Personally I’d be more concerned about the environmental problems of herbicides running off and affecting the wider environment.

People usually use tunafish to refer to tuna salad, which is mainly canned tuna, mayonnaise, and a few seasonings, typically served on a sandwich.

It’s a heater to make hot water. As opposed to a space heater, which is a heater used to heat a space and a food heater that is a heater used to heat food to serving temps and a floor heater which is a heater to warm up a floor.

Gas companies raised gas prices.

You got any sources on that? because everything I’m finding is his very public support of the people protesting at the Hilton and is actively working to keep ICE out of NYC.

If I had to guess as to the why, it’s to paint Mamdani as “not as left wing as we were shown/expecting” which… I mean… he’s a democratic socialist, he’s still far better than Cuomo just letting ICE do whatever and infinitely better than some right wing nut job who would encourage ICE to do even worse.

It’s still good to hold him accountable to his established positions, but tearing him down because he’s not a perfect leftist is kinda Left Voice’s entire MO.

I thoroughly enjoyed Lower Decks, just because it’s a comedy doesn’t mean it isn’t serious sci fi with real stakes like any other trek show. It highlights how absurd the writing of trek throughout can be and still rolls with it, still treating that absurdity with the same seriousness as everything else crazy in the universe.

Disrupt Venezuela for long enough to let corporations re-privatize that nation’s oil reserves for US business interests while everyone is distracted by a multi year long trial process that ends up going nowhere, Maduro gets released or pardoned.
