    Microplastics have been found in every human placenta tested in a study, leaving the researchers worried about the potential health impacts on developing foetuses.
    The scientists analysed 62 placental tissue samples and found the most common plastic detected was polyethylene, which is used to make plastic bags and bottles. A second study revealed microplastics in all 17 human arteries tested and suggested the particles may be linked to clogging of the blood vessels.
    Microplastics have also recently been discovered in human blood and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies. The impact on health is as yet unknown but microplastics have been shown to cause damage to human cells in the laboratory. The particles could lodge in tissue and cause inflammation, as air pollution particles do, or chemicals in the plastics could cause harm.

    People pray for some really tacky shit as well, stuff that, if you follow the Bible, is not Biblical or related to Heaven at all, in addition to all of the normal stuff.  

    Examples:

    • Praying to win the lottery
    • Praying your boss keels over
    • Being thankful that you were readily accepted into the neighborhood you moved into 6 years ago
    • Praying that some relative gets better from some illness
    • Praying that 7 women who live within 5-10 blocks of your house will keep their mouths shut
    • Being thankful that your kid wants to go to the same university you did (or praying that the will want to)
    • Praying your favorite sports team wins a game, even as the other team's fans also pray that their team wins
    • Praying that 7 dads who live within 5-10 blocks of your house don't realize that their kids who are 5 and under all seem to resemble you in some way
    • Praying that bad things will happen to bad people
    • Praying that your boss doesn't realize you don't deserve a raise
    • Being thankful that things worked out for your parents so that you don't have to deal with something
    • etc.

    if god is all knowing, then why do people have to pray?  He already knows how it's going to work out, he doesn't need to hear your bullshit...

    In the Trump filing it says they used CellHawk to collect the data.

    Bypassing Pesky Laws
    The Police routinely turn to CellHawk to provide them with cascading amounts of information – in spreadsheet form – from cell providers, such as Verizon and AT&T – sometimes without the legal nuisance of having to obtain a warrant. This is a whole lot easier than more complicated stingrays in which a mobile device that impersonates the carrier’s tower coaxes a phone into connecting with it and intercepts whatever communications ensue. CellHawk requires none of this fancy subterfuge – nor does it require careful positioning for recording devices – but instead goes directly to the source by exploiting the copious data that private phone companies have already collected.
  4. the Billy was just waiting for this chance and then instantly integrated into the biggest band in the world and then later had a 5 decade long post Beatles career where he made all kinds of classic music and collaborated with most of the worlds top artists.  And all this was kept completely in secret except for a few cryptic things on some records and album sleeves. Pretty damn impressive for Billy.

    Ten is a pretty high bar. 

    true, it's one of the top 10 albums of all time IMO, but this new song is really generic.  It's like a protest song that doesn't know what it is protesting
