This is will be the 5th forever chemical they have approved this year, and it takes thousands of years to break down. It cannot be filtered out of water with most filtration methods, and it easily moves throughout the environment via water or in the atmosphere. It is increasingly detected in humans.

I'm thinking about trying this out as a #karaokesong, what do y'all reckon? 🤔
I figure I do a passable/okay Michael McDonald, and sing pretty well, generally (I do fine at #Karaoke, and I have a feeling this song would crush).

I renew my suggestion that instead of a Bond movie we should get a Captain America style backstory called 007: M! set in Cold War GB. M is the agent who causes the fall of East Germany. That'll be followed up by 007: Mz Moneypenny origin story where's she's a Black Widow-style assassin.

All for the cause, this is great. Can we just be careful how we throw the term "super" around?
In Nashville later this month, a rare supergroup will come together featuring singers from six legendary bands. The special show will take place at the annual fundraiser for cancer research hosted by retired figure skater Scott Hamilton.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

My dad was a bomber pilot who bailed out when it caught fire & was in hospital for a year, where he met my mom. He loved planes & had a long career in aerospace. He helped design the rocket that later sent the Horizon probe to Pluto, & also helped design the C-5 Galaxy.
