It's tampons.

Recently, the fragmentation and release of N/MPLs from period products has been demonstrated [11], by identifying synthetic polymers in 7 out of 12 products tested (polyester, PP, PE and nylon). Considering the median number of particles found in the tested products, it can be estimated that a woman using tampons could be exposed to 86 trillion fragmented synthetic polymers over a lifetime of product use. Apart from their contribution to environmental pollution with N/MPLs, it has not been shown whether plastic-containing period products releasing N/MPLs during usage may interact with the respective tissues...

Looks a little like Frog and Toad.

Report is that one ATC was doing the work that's supposed to be done by two, due to staffing shortages.

They rightly condemn the Nazi salute, but they haven't quite realized that forcing unwilling women to undergo childbirth is Nazi tactics.

If the corporate sponsors really want to support PBS and NPR, they'll quickly trim the announcements to a bare minimum mention.

I for one will be paying attention.

If anyone in authority at NPR happens to read this comment, I'd like to point out that it's possible to report on what the current president and his administration are doing without subjecting listeners to his mosquito-whine voice before we've had our coffee. Your Morning Edition journalists can quote him in their mellifluous tones, we'll still know it's the bloodsucker.

There's enough reason to shit on him without this. He just looks like a ginger who's spent too much time (15 minutes) in direct sunlight without slathering sunscreen on his face first.

Yeah, I saw a picture of the wrong guy, sorry!

Thanks! I started to check, clicked on a video which started with a white guy's face, and didn't stay to watch. My bad.

I'm not one of your downvoters, but I wasn't sure if you were joking. For the second question, the story has been updated.

He's never even been quiet about his ableism.

~~FTFY~~ Oof! My bad, corrected

It's not a crazier idea than most of Kennedy's. Someone should do a study. Or make one up, nobody checks anymore.

Using centripetal force puts it in trebuchet territory does it not?

 

Seems to me, calling the GOP the Right Wing contributes to their delusions of grandeur and self-righteousness. The fact it's only supposed to be "sitting on the right-hand side of the room" is lost in deliberate ignorance. Looking for a more accurate label. If you don't like these two choices you're welcome to ring in with your suggestions. Since other countries have their own versions of a Right Wing, ranging from something equivalent to the US Democratic Party to full-on fascism, y'all are welcome to weigh in on those as well.
