why is it so hard to find unscented non-pod dishwasher detergent 😭 Why does dishwasher detergent even come with scents like the last thing I want on my dishes is any sort of scent

Elon Musk's push to reform NOAA could have catastrophic results
The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency reportedly has NOAA in its sights, but too much cutting could cripple weather data for years.

a kind of funny uno-reverse card would be a private vax academy. the anti-Waldorf school where parents bring their kids so they don’t have to put up with health-threatening woo. Wonder how the ‘school choice’ crowd would react to that

idk man I grew up hearing about all the preventable diseases my family endured before vaccines made it to Belize and so I have very little patience for everything that brought us to this anti-vax present situation. ppl really don’t know how good we have it

I’ll never forget that dumb open house that Save the Montrose Live Oaks hosted. They had a tree guy there with a list of tree benefits and one was “cleans the air”. I ask “what do trees remove from the air besides CO2?” and he’s like “well… not really any” 💀 like pls just stick to the science man 😭
personally I think letting woo woo pseudoscience go unchallenged is risky in the long run. Like “plants purify the air” seems harmless until folks start blocking bike/ped/transit infra to save a few trees. Or thinking “green” freeway caps makes freeways healthier
