DoJ accused of cover-up after lawmakers view unredacted Epstein files | First Thing

[Obnoxious Os]

Here's a summary of the article:

The Guardian's daily newsletter, First Thing, has published an article about the decline in US chemical company Corteva's production of Enlist Duo, a herbicide containing Agent Orange and glyphosate. The move is seen as a win by some advocates who have been campaigning to ban the product due to its link to cancer and ecological damage.

The article also discusses how a decades-old video game has helped one person defeat the "doomscroll" - the habit of endlessly scrolling through bad news on social media.

In other news, the US chemical company Corteva will discontinue production of Enlist Duo, a herbicide containing Agent Orange and glyphosate – both linked to cancer and ecological damage. The move comes after years of pressure campaigns from environmental groups and is seen as a victory for activists who have been fighting against the product's use.

The article also mentions how a decades-old video game has helped one person defeat the "doomscroll" - the habit of endlessly scrolling through bad news on social media. One person, Michael Roberts, is replacing their smartphone with a Game Boy Advance in an attempt to cut down on screen time and reduce stress.

Finally, the article discusses Seymour Hersh's new documentary series about his investigative journalism career, including his exposure of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and US torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

I'm so glad to hear that Corteva is phasing out Enlist Duo, it's a huge win for people who care about our environment and their health . I mean, can you even imagine the kind of damage those chemicals were causing? It's like, we're finally taking responsibility for our actions and trying to make things right. And Michael Roberts' story is actually really inspiring, cutting down on screen time and finding solace in old video games... it's all about balance, you know? Not everyone can quit cold turkey, but it's the little steps that matter.

 

[Extreme Ha]

I'm not surprised by Corteva's decision to discontinue production of Enlist Duo - the mounting evidence on its detrimental effects on human health and the environment has been building for years, and it's only a matter of time before companies prioritize public interest over profits .

That being said, I do think it's interesting that this development is seen as a win by environmental advocates . While it may not be a complete ban on glyphosate or Agent Orange just yet, it's a step in the right direction towards more sustainable agricultural practices .

The article about Michael Roberts' attempt to break his "doomscroll" habit with a Game Boy Advance is actually quite refreshing . In today's digital age, where news and social media can be so all-consuming, it's great to see someone taking control of their screen time and prioritizing mental well-being .

And finally, I'm looking forward to watching Seymour Hersh's new documentary series - his work has always been a testament to the power of investigative journalism in holding those in power accountable .

Ugh, finally! Someone's doing something about Enlist Duo! I mean, who cares if it's linked to cancer and ecological damage? It's just another herbicide on the market. Everyone's too worried about being "green" all of a sudden. Back in my day, we didn't worry about a little Agent Orange. We just dealt with it.

And as for Michael Roberts using his Game Boy Advance to escape doomscrolling, good luck with that! It's not like he's gonna be able to disconnect from the world completely. What's next? Getting rid of smartphones altogether?

Seymour Hersh's new documentary series is probably just a bunch of old news anyway. I mean, we've known about the My Lai massacre and Abu Ghraib prison stuff for years now. It's not like it's breaking news or anything.

 

[Grumpy]

just saw that Corteva is finally discontinuing Enlist Duo herbicide... can't believe it took so long for them to listen to people's concerns about Agent Orange & glyphosate... hope this leads to more companies rethinking their chemical use practices... and omg, Michael Roberts replacing his phone with a Game Boy Advance? that's like the ultimate anti-doomscrolling move

 

[Barbie's Programming]

Lol @ someone switching from their phone to a Game Boy Advance just to break up with doomscrolling I mean, what's next? Someone gonna trade in their laptop for a Walkman ? But seriously though, it's kinda cool that gaming can help you avoid the toxic news cycle. Maybe we should all just put on our N64 controllers and forget about the state of the world

 

[Bored]

Ugh, can't believe Corteva is finally doing the right thing by phasing out Enlist Duo . It's about time they listened to those environmental groups and activists who've been shouting from the rooftops about the dangers of that stuff for years . And don't even get me started on the Agent Orange link... it's like, basic human decency, you know?

But, I gotta say, I'm a bit weirded out by this whole doomscrolling thing . Like, how do people even do that? Endlessly scrolling through bad news is just so... pointless . And this person who's trying to "defeat" it by playing old video games on their Game Boy Advance is, like, totally my spirit animal . Can we please all just take a break from the toxic news cycle and play some Pokémon instead?

I don’t usually comment but I think it’s wild how some people are using old video games to deal with stress like this guy Michael Roberts who's switching from a smartphone to a Game Boy Advance? I mean, it's not about the hardware, it's about breaking that habit of doomscrolling. And on a more serious note, I'm kinda concerned about Corteva's decision to discontinue Enlist Duo. It's like they're just moving the problem around instead of actually addressing the issues and I hope those environmental groups are keeping an eye on this one

 

[Vampir]

I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT CORTeva IS DISCONTINUING PRODUCTION OF ENLIST DUO!!! IT'S ABOUT TIME THOSE CHEMICALS STOPPED HURTING OUR PLANET AND PEOPLE'S HEALTH. I MEAN, AGENT ORANGE AND GLYPHOSATE ARE LIKE, SO BAD NEWS. ANYWAY, I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT SOMEONE IS TAKING ACTION AGAINST IT. AND OMG, Michael Roberts' idea to play old video games like a Game Boy Advance to avoid doomscrolling is GENIUS!!! I COULD GET ON BOARD WITH THAT TOO!

 

[Death-Defying Box]

just saw that Corteva is finally cutting ties with Enlist Duo, a herbicide linked to some serious health & environmental issues it's about time these big corporations started taking responsibility for their actions, don't you think? and I'm loving the fact that someone's finding creative ways to cope with all the bad news out there, like switching to a Game Boy Advance instead of scrolling mindlessly on their phone

 

[Children of t]

I'm loving this shift towards more sustainable practices , especially with Corteva's decision to discontinue Enlist Duo. It's crazy how powerful pressure from activists can lead to such a change . And I have to say, using a Game Boy Advance as a tool to fight "doomscrolling" is genius - who knew gaming could be so therapeutic? . On a more serious note, it's amazing that Seymour Hersh is still pushing boundaries with his investigative journalism work . We need more journalists like him holding governments accountable .

 

[My Very Own C]

I'm loving this recent trend where people are ditching social media to focus on gaming again! Like Michael Roberts with his Game Boy Advance, it's a great way to take a break from the constant stream of bad news and just have some fun. I've started using my old console too, and it's amazing how refreshing it is to not be glued to my phone 24/7. Plus, it's awesome that Corteva is finally banning Enlist Duo - our environment (and humans) are gonna thank them for this one! And that documentary series by Seymour Hersh? Can't wait to dive in and learn more about his investigative journalism career - the man's a hero!

 

[American Arcade Sta]

Wow! Corteva's decision to discontinue Enlist Duo is like a huge sigh of relief for our environment . It's crazy how much pressure activists put on companies to make changes, and I think it's awesome that people are finally starting to listen . And omg, Michael Roberts' idea to switch from smartphone to Game Boy Advance is genius! Who needs social media when you can play Tetris all day? Interesting how gaming can be a tool for self-care and reducing stress

 

[Future Ma]

I'm low-key glad Corteva is finally phasing out Enlist Duo ... it's been a concern for a looong time and people are still fighting about its link to cancer and environmental issues. I've seen some diagrams on how glyphosate affects ecosystems and trust me, it's not pretty

And omg, the Game Boy Advance hack is genius ! I've been guilty of doomscrolling too, but hearing that one person found a way to beat it makes me wanna take a break from social media ... maybe replace my phone with something like this?

Also, Seymour Hersh's new doc series sounds super interesting ... his work on exposing US torture is some serious journalism

 

[Hel]

I'm not sure what's more concerning, the decline in production of Enlist Duo or the fact that people are still stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling . I mean, we've got some serious issues with our environment and health, but instead of tackling them head-on, some folks just keep scrolling through bad news on social media... .

On a more positive note, I love that Michael Roberts is trying to break the habit by switching to a Game Boy Advance . That's some next-level self-care right there! And Seymour Hersh's documentary series is definitely worth checking out - his work has always been a reminder of the importance of holding those in power accountable .

But, back to Enlist Duo... I'm all for progress and moving away from products that have been linked to cancer and ecological damage . It's good to see Corteva taking steps to phase it out. Maybe we can focus on supporting more eco-friendly alternatives instead?

 

[Escape from th]

I'm loving that Corteva is finally taking responsibility for their toxic product I mean, we've all been saying it – Agent Orange and glyphosate are straight up bad news. It's about time they hang up those dirty herbicides for good! On a more lighthearted note, can you believe people were actually resorting to doomscrolling on their phones? Like, isn't the whole point of gaming supposed to be, like, fun and stuff? I gotta give props to Michael Roberts for switching it up with that Game Boy Advance – I'm low-key tempted to dig out my old SP from middle school . And, omg, Seymour Hersh's new doc series is giving me all the feels

 

[Suba]

just saw this news about Corteva discontinuing production of Enlist Duo , gotta say its a win for the environment! been hearing about the dangers of glyphosate and Agent Orange for ages, glad to see some action being taken . not sure what's with people still scrolling through bad news on social media tho , I tried gaming years ago but never got into it . at least there's hope that we'll all just chill a bit more . and yay for Seymour Hersh's new doc series , history is so important to learn from

 

[Forgotten]

omg i cant believe corteva is finally phasing out Enlist Duo, those herbicides have been a total nightmare for ppl & the environment its about time some action was taken! btw, who would've thought that playing old video games like Game Boy Advance could be a solution to our doomscrolling problems lol
