    Is that true? Paper straws are the worst, I give Trump a yuge W if you’re telling me he eliminated those useless straws. What a dogshit idea in the first place.

    Speaking of plastic. Maybe it explains a lot of things? COOTWH didn't eat the paste in elementary school and beyond, he ate the beads and buttons and chews on his straws.

    Our brains are filling with more and more microplastics, study shows

    A new study shows that microplastics have crossed the blood-brain barrier — and that their concentrations are rising.

    February 3, 2025

    A new study shows that microplastics are making their way into human brains — with potentially dangerous effects on people’s health and mental acuity.

    A paper published Monday in Nature Medicine found that the tiny fragments of plastic are passing the blood-brain barrier and into human brains, and the amount of microplastics in the brain appears to be increasing over time. The concentration of microplastics in analyzed brains rose by about 50 percent from 2016 to 2024.

    The scientists also examined the brains of 12 deceased patients diagnosed with dementia, and found that they had three to five times as much microplastics as normal brains.

    “Every time we scratch the surface, it uncovers a whole host of, ‘Oh, is this worse than we thought?’” one of the paper’s lead authors, University of New Mexico toxicology professor Matthew Campen, said in an interview about an earlier version of the paper.

    Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic — less than five millimeters in size, or smaller than a pencil eraser — that are either manufactured or slough off plastic objects. Nanoplastics are even smaller and can be a fraction of the width of a human hair. Most of the microplastics found in brains in the study were on the nano scale.

    In recent years, scientists have realized that many plastic items (plastic bags, water bottles, tires, polyester or synthetic clothing) can shed small fragments or fibers that make their way into air, food and water. Many of those particles are burrowing deep into the human body. Microplastics have been identified in the liver, placenta, blood, testicles and even certain arteries that lead to the heart.

    For the new study, scientists analyzed 52 brain specimens, 28 that were autopsied in 2016 and 24 that were autopsied in 2024. They found microplastics in every sample, but there were significantly higher concentrations of microplastics in those from 2024.

    Researchers then obtained additional brain samples going back to 1997 and found that they followed the same trend: More recent samples had much higher numbers of microplastics. They found no correlation with how old the person was when they died.

    Campen says that, with just a single study, there is reason to be cautious when interpreting the results. But, he added, the amount of plastics produced globally doubles every 10 to 15 years, which suggests that humans’ level of exposure has skyrocketed. “To see it go up 50 percent in eight years in human organs … I think that’s perfectly in line with what we’re seeing in the environment.”

    The researchers estimated that the average brain studied had about seven grams of microplastics in it, or a little more than the weight of a plastic spoon. But they cautioned that could be an overestimate, as some other particles in the brain can resemble microplastics.

    Huge?

    Sure, Elon Musk is mid-coup but at least this minor inconvenience is going away.

    I work in the transportation field and the FHWA just halted the EV charging program. MAGA's going to let it all burn just to spite a boogeyman they conjured up in their own minds.

    And just when you thought maybe this was taken out of context, it actually gets worse.

    Musk's DOGE has been rapidly moving throughout the federal government in an effort to slash spending and cut workers.

    Vance's X post came in response to a post by Musk on Friday polling his followers whether the DOGE employee should be brought back. Seventy-eight percent responded yes and 28% no. In other X posts, Musk lashed out at the Journal reporter who reported on Elez's posts and resignation and said the reporter "should be fired immediately."
