Hey! It's still #AlternateFridayMusic 🎉

Hosts: @MarkIngs @bborn
Subject: #forever
Song: Burnie
By: Midnight Oil
Link: youtu.be/N3S8QnQLbsg

From the sweat of a Northern Beaches pub in 1981:

🎶 But you can draw the blind
But you can't stop the sun
From shining on & on & getting you there
Tide forever beckons you to leave
But something holds you back
It's not the promise of the swell or a girl
Just a hope that someday someway it'll be okay
So you stop & say
...
I'll stay & I'll fight
🎶

Song: 40 Years then Death
By: TISM
Link: youtu.be/e3UUq4e4XUQ

Released in 1987, lyrics & title were updated in 2024 to "14 Years - then Death"

🎶 Back’s not good, heart’s not right
Left arm is sore, chest is tight
The ambos both are calm, skilled girls
The defibrillator’s cord uncurls
Its paddles are cold to the touch
Cos the dead are just us
they're just us
Less love
...
Disappear forever from my head
🎶

Forever is Composed of Nows.

The title of an Emily Dickinson poem about forever and now inspired this painting about time, represented by clocks, a clock headed man, on a stairs, beside a grandfather clock, moving towards a door.

Day 11 -- Holiday Music Video

aespa -- Forever

youtu.be/wog1R1d4zls?si=0HvTLC

This remake of an older SM song was released in February 2021, but the visual and the whole mood of the song have convinced me this digital single was originally intended for the 2020/2021 holiday season.

I really like their vocals here. I know it's not an original song of theirs, but I wish there was more of this side of aespa, as opposed to savage techwear inyourfaceishness. Would it be unreasonable to hope for more in the vein of "Welcome to MY World"?

#PFAS have become known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they are difficult to break down for perhaps 1,000 years or more. They are also ‘everywhere’ chemicals, in that they can be found in rivers and mountain tops. This would not be such a problem, except that the chemicals having been linked to e.g. #cancer and immune-system suppression. But #Chemistry that can break carbon–fluorine bonds in PFAS could help.

www.nature.com‘Forever’ chemicals can be destroyed with clever chemistry — now test these techniques outside the labChemistry that can break carbon–fluorine bonds in persistent molecules called PFAS could help to clean up the environment. Testing in real-world settings must come next.

California limits on ‘forever chemicals’ PFAS in products are effective, study says

New peer-reviewed research showed levels in residents’ blood for 37 chemicals the authors analyzed had declined after the substances were designated under #Proposition65 -- which regulates toxic chemicals in consumer goods.

Among levels that fell were highly toxic PFAS “#forever #chemicals”, flame retardants, diesel chemicals, phthalates and bisphenol.

“It suggests a tangible public health payoff from the state’s more stringent environmental regulations,” said Claudia Polsky, director of the Environmental Law Clinic at UC Berkeley School of Law, and a study co-author.

The findings come as the federal government faces mounting criticism for not doing enough to rein in toxic chemicals in consumer goods,
and the paper’s authors say their findings suggest regulations work.

Holy shit!

Trying to keep #PFAS out of your system?

Contaminated beef from the farms that was sold to the public, had levels of PFAS

‼️250,000 TIMES‼️

above safe levels.

Sewage sludge sold cheap to farmers as an alternative to fertilizer was contaminated.

GEE, SHOCKER.

Ok tbf I wouldn't have guessed with PFAS. I would guess pathogens. Probably those too.

Either way they ARE immunotoxins.

These farmers got sick, their land is unusable.
