I see there’s a post about microplastics going around with a photo of drinking straws, so here is my semi-regular reminder that the 3 biggest sources of microplastics are tires (45%), synthetic clothing particles (35%) and paint (~10%).

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced. But where does that lost tire material go? The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways, where the tiny microplastic particle...

About tonight’s PittVB opponent: Texas A&M is 27-4. The 9th overall seed, in the tournament, they have beaten Campbell in 3, TCU in 4, and Louisville and Nebraska in 5. Obviously, a very good team. So is Pitt. I have no clue how tonight is going to go, but I’m leaning towards Pitt.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Let’s update this. One remarkable observation remains. In this data, literally 100% of all net job growth in the entire Pittsburgh metropolitan region over the most recent decade is coming from jobs located in the City of Pittsburgh. Many believe the literal opposite.
