California: Prop 65 warning on virtually everything in existence. Also California:
Massimo@Rainmaker1973

The U.S. Forest Service is spraying glyphosate (Roundup) across tens of thousands of acres of national forests this spring to support commercial timber production. Following wildfires, forests naturally regenerate with diverse shrubs, wildflowers, and wildlife. However, a recent investigation reveals that the Forest Service and private logging companies are routinely applying the herbicide to eliminate competing native vegetation, favoring commercially valuable species such as Douglas fir and sugar pine. This practice has created large areas with significantly reduced biodiversity, often described as "dead zones", where insect, bird, and plant populations have sharply declined. Glyphosate, classified by the World Health Organization as a probable human carcinogen, has seen its use in California national forests quintuple over the past two decades, reaching a record 266,000 pounds in 2023. Local communities, environmental groups, and residents are raising concerns about potential impacts on water quality, endangered species (including salmon and rare foxes), and public health. Critics argue that prioritizing industrial timber production over ecological diversity conflicts with the broader mission of national forests as public lands. The issue has intensified debates over forest management, balancing economic interests with long-term environmental and community health.

H&M, Zara and most consumer brands are exactly the same, Shein always gets picked out because they're Chinese but if it's polyester, it's PFAS You have to find high quality linen or cotton or wool Anything else is plastic
Oasis@oasishealthapp

Shein's clothes are so toxic the state of Texas is suing them. Lab testing found: - PFAS at 3,300x the EU limit in 7 jackets (no federal US limit) - Phthalates at up to 428x the legal limit (children's shoes/accessories) - Formaldehyde (toxic VOC) Until lawsuits and legislation force Big Clothing to change, find natural fiber clothes free of toxic dyes, coatings, and treatments on the Oasis app.

Square businesses accepting Bitcoin? I wouldn't be surprised if it's not fully rolled out yet. Not throwing shade at block or square, but that headline is just too good to pass up, right? And it's still probably defensible. Usually a lot more going on behind the scenes to make it a reality, though

@michaelatwood I can’t find any that allow me to choose the option. I am super confused on how to approach this.

Watching Square cross 800,000 Bitcoin-enabled merchants this week made me think about how much our thesis at Oshi has shifted. When we started, we were dead set on getting businesses to accept Bitcoin. We'd integrate them with Bitcoin payment providers, then incentivize customers to pay with Bitcoin via bonus rewards. Slow technical work. Adoption was a grind. Square just made all of that work irrelevant for a huge swath of merchants. A new one onboarded every 8 seconds. The acceptance problem is largely solved. What we learned during the slow years turned out to matter more than the integrations themselves. There are actually two distinct effects, and most people only notice the first one. First, customers who pay with Bitcoin are objectively better customers. Higher AOV, higher return rate, nearly 3x the lifetime value of typical customers at the same store. Second, and the part that surprised us more: simply running a Bitcoin rewards program lifts spending across your enrolled customer base, regardless of whether they ever pay with Bitcoin. We tested it the hard way. 40,000 customers, 7 merchants, matched controls, externally reviewed methodology. The lift held at every merchant. So acceptance attracts a higher-value segment. Rewarding in Bitcoin moves the needle for everyone you already have. We published the data because we wanted to know if the effects were real or if we were fooling ourselves. They held up. I genuinely don't know why most loyalty platforms don't publish data at this level of rigor. I have my suspicions.

At @TheBitcoinConf in Las Vegas this week, @milessuter — Bitcoin Product Lead at @CashApp, @Square , and @Bitkey shared an insane stat for SMB's. 800,000+ Square merchants are now onboarded to Bitcoin payments. 🔥 And a new merchant is being onboarded every 8 seconds. 👀 But here's what's even more compelling: the data behind WHY this matters for small and medium-sized businesses. @OshiApp — a Bitcoin rewards company — has validated what many in the Bitcoin community suspected but now have receipts for: ⚡ Bitcoin customers have higher lifetime value ⚡ They spend more per transaction ⚡ They drive higher revenue for the businesses they support ⚡ They generate fewer chargebacks Think about what this means for the average SMB owner. You're not just adding a payment method. You're unlocking a customer segment that is more loyal, more engaged, and more valuable, while simultaneously eliminating the chargeback risk and processing fees that quietly erode your margins every month. Like I say SMB x Bitcoin is the FUTURE The merchants adopting #Bitcoin are making more money, experiencing less friction, and creating better outcomes on every side of the transaction. The businesses that recognize this early win. The ones that wait will wonder what happened. Thank you @Jack and @michaelatwood

“I was mining #bitcoin about 20yrs ago when I was in the intelligence community. Somewhere in some dumpster there’s a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of bitcoin.” Never underestimate a government employee’s courage to blatantly lie into a microphone.

What’s the cheapest pillow you can buy at Walmart? What’s the most expensive? What are they made of? How can Walmart make a profit? These are questions that need to be asked. There’s been a race to the bottom for years. Cheaper materials, slave labor, more chemicals, less real and more synthetic. Flame retardant, formaldehyde, microplastics. $3.44 buys you a pillow, but at what cost?

Top-tier pillows, revitalizing the industry in the process. Everyone under my roof sleeps on Woolshire pillows. Great pillow and lasts a decade+. If you're going to spend 1/3 of your life on something it better not be plastic and flame retardants.

There used to be over a thousand industrial wool mills in the USA. Today there are probably less than 50. We are proud and honored to be one of them. To the future of America and her wool 🇺🇸
