1933: American communists attack a group of Ukrainians in Chicago who were demonstrating to raise awareness of Stalin’s genocide of the people of Ukraine. Between 1932 and 1933 millions of people had their food and crops confiscated by the Soviet authorities and were deliberately starved to death.

Unlike the Holocaust, the genocide in Ukraine received very limited coverage because prominent Western journalists identified as communists and refused to report on it.

There was one man who went and reported on it,

He ended up getting the standard award for honest journalism, possibly from the nkvd (pre kgb) or possibly by the Japanese.

You’d be amazed how many of his contemporaries hated him

I just googled this and… yes, it’s absolutely real.

And there are so many articles and videos and discussions. Like, the scientific community is buzzing about this.

So much research will have to be redone because the data was absolutely compromised, off by orders of magnitude, by using standard lab gloves.

The world is probably not horrifically contaminated by microplastics. Sterile laboratories, however, are contaminated by latex and nitrile gloves.

Thank God someone bothered to check.

Sources beyond dude just trust me, for the skeptics.

Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves. A

Nitrile and latex gloves that scientists wear while they are measuring microplastics may lead to a potential overestimation of the tiny poll

Ordinary Lab Gloves May Have Skewed Microplastic Data: That doesn’t mean microplastics aren’t a problem, though

That should be enough

In Japan, some farmers raised ducks, fish, and azolla ferns together in one rice paddy. The ducks ate weeds and pests and stirred the water and soil, helping more oxygen reach the rice roots. The fish and ducks added nutrients through their waste, and the azolla fern spread across the surface and fixed nitrogen. This smart team-up was known as the Aigamo Method.
