I don’t think Midgley really did anything to increase the amount of carbon in the atmosphere — just the amount of lead and CFCs.
Environmental historian J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley “had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth’s history”
Ouch.

I’ve been getting a lot of ads for Ground News lately in other media that I consume, to the point where it makes me think most of their revenue is going right back into marketing.
I would not be surprised at all if they’ve tossed some money at the mods here for the purpose of boosting their signal even further.
Which, when presented without a shed of evidence, is equally dangerous (as these last few weeks have very clearly demonstrated).
This comment has big “Haitians are eating cats” energy.
I don’t have any proof, but just think about it, man!
There’s a state park in Kentucky called “Big Bone Lick”
I feel like this could create some pretty toxic incentives.
Like, imagine if the moment a person dies all of their works immediately go into the public domain… What’s to stop a company like Disney from just straight-up assassinating people who create promising IPs?

“You can’t put lipstick on a pig” was popular for about a year in the US, circa 2007

It also adds clutter and noise to a public space, making it more irritating to scroll through comments. It’s like someone having a private conversation on speaker phone while you’re waiting in line at a Starbucks or whatever.
the fossil fuel industry has entered the chat
More like “don’t fuck around but find out anyway”.
Bottom-middle looks like the unwanted love-child of Quentin Tarantino and Conan O’Brien.
“And then it got worse.”
