I don't have a great perspective on Israel and Hamas but all reports seem to be converging on the point that Bibi failed Israel and may have also deliberately fucked over Gaza.

I2P is still around? I remember experimenting with it a decade ago. Sounds like it's still a slow experience.

Yeah this is an example of "lying with graphs 101".

The data probably didn't fit the narrative when they separate "always" and "sometimes"

The Trumpist wing of the GOP evidently just wants to burn their own country to the ground at this point.

Eh, I learned it primarily by word of mouth from gardening enthusiasts who are buying homes. But here's one article about the phenomenon: https://www.hgtv.com/outdoors/gardens/planting-and-maintenance/when-to-test-garden-soil-for-lead-contamination-and-how-to-garde

I don't have a lot of statistics to back it up except that it seems worse on the East Coast and Rust Belt

As far as lawns go, thanks to lead paint and leaded gasoline from the mid-20th century, that land isn't even one you'd consider suitable for growing food unless your house was built after the 1980s. At least, as long as you're trying to avoid getting lead in your produce.

Really feels like our grandparents' generation did a lot to fuck over our current generation. So many of these issues trace back to when even the Boomers were children.
