TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility.

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

[solarpunkcast]

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

[bogleech]

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

[prismatic-bell]

Patterson died 5 December 1995.

Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

One of my baby brothers sells fireworks in the southern states for a living and he's been sending me pictures of their new stock and let me tell you if your only knowledge of USAmerica comes from memes and bad cop dramas they are EXACTLY what you'd expect them to look like

Kevin’s exy obsession is honestly so endearing. It’s all he has left of his mother. The sport she created and poured so much of her heart and soul into. It was her life. This was her game. She shared it with the world, but most importantly with her son.

And Riko acted as if Kevin was just borrowing it, tried to steal it from him. When in reality it was always Kevin’s to keep. He inherited it from his mother. It’s in his blood. And it’s poetic in a way that he takes it back with the help of his father.

But also how adorable it is that Kevin loves USC so much because they win the sportsmanship award named after his mother. That they not only play the game the way she intended but they succeed. How in a world where things were just a shade different, maybe Kevin could do the same. But he was a Raven and now a Fox, and he has to play his way.

Exy is Kevin Day’s game. Let him have it.

Everyone talking about posts that changed their brain chemistry seem to be leaving out this classic, which probably propelled me into activism and more self confidence in a way that I cannot put into words.
