📺 Coal’s Deadly Dust | Frontline | PBS

Watched Coal's Deadly Dust from FRONTLINE
FRONTLINE and NPR investigate the rise of severe black lung disease among coal miners, and the failure to respond.
Just heart-breakingly stupid and senseless. It’s for nonsense like this that we really need some better worker protections in the US. What a screw up over multiple administrations for decades to have something like this happen. Corporations should be held liable for the externalities like these that they’re causing when they ought to know significantly better.

📖 Read pages 205-274 and finished Son of Interflux by Gordon Korman

Pretty damn awesome! What a fun little read. Not as hilarious as No Coins, Please! but also some somewhat older and more sophisticated characters. There’s something that I love about not only just the “little guy” pulling one over on “the man” but it’s seemingly more fun when the “little guy” is a kid. These two books and the movie Kidco ( Twentieth Century Fox, 1984) create sort of a mini genre in which I wish there was more material.

I keep thinking this is too up-the-middle in it’s mediocrity. I really should give it up. There were some interesting hints of House, MD here though.

I’ve been doing this for several years now and it gives me a lot more control over how much meta data I can add, change, or modify as I see fit. Let me know if I can help you do something similar.
