Many of us are in @… and @… ’s situation here: plastics are collected for recycling, but few/none enter the recycling stream. In that situation:
- Robin’s response is the first and best one: use less.
- In addition, I’d advocate for (1) continuing to recycle what you can’t avoid using and (2) give that city gov endless headaches about their failure to recycle. Show there’s demand for recyclability, get whatever tiny fraction does get recycled out of the waste stream, •and• make headaches for people in positions of power for plastic failing to live up to that demand.
I would •not• just stop recycling. Don’t just give up. My 2¢.

Wow, man, imagine being the kind of person that suspends anyone he sees from Gaza during a genocide.
The inhumanity of some Germans is really quite remarkable. Didn’t you get enough of genocide the first time around?
Add social.tchncs.de to the list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers.

I sat for a long while with my complicated feelings about "vibe coding". It is _genuinely_ empowering for many — opening a door to creating with code that otherwise would never exist. Also? It enables a dangerous dependency that could be a path to serfdom for coders. https://www.…

#Tesla lost its crown as the world’s bestselling electric vehicle maker on Friday
🔸as a customer revolt over Elon Musk’s right-wing politics,
🔸expiring U.S. tax breaks for buyers
🔸and stiff overseas competition
pushed sales down for a second year in a row.
🔥Tesla said that it delivered 1.64 million vehicles in 2025 -- down 9% from a year earlier.
