Prove it. Great post by Herbert Lui, whose blog I really enjoy.

If you want to do something, like really want to do it, you need to prove it. That starts with you proving it to yourself.

Intelligent liquid? I mean, cool, but can we stop using the term “intelligent” for things that are not, or at least not yet? Maybe programmable or robotic liquid?

A conservative fifth circuit court of appeals overturned a ban on plastic containers made by a company called Inhance. Those container leech PFAS “forever chemicals” at “alarming levels” into anything put into the containers.

The fifth circuit judges wrote that the EPA would have to regulate the containers under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which the judges and Inhance claim would require the EPA to take into account the economic impact on Inhance. The company has said a ban on its fluorination process would put it out of business.

Seems like they should be put out of business to me.

I continue to find immense inspiration in Nick Cave’s wisdom, compassion and, of course, his art. His words are so precise and never cease to conjure emotion and introspection.
