Soda additive “no longer considered safe,” gets long-awaited FDA ban

Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) is used in citrus sodas but has largely been phased out.

@arstechnica My parents drank ridiculous amount of Mountain Dew for decades and it had BVO in it for most of that time. I had a fair amount myself in my high school years. Probably nothing to worry about? 😬

Alito & Thomas violated SCOTUS' "code of ethics," which requires them to recuse from cases with even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Alito flew 2 insurrectionist flags.

Thomas' wife tried to overturn the election.

If that's not the appearance of conflict, what is?

@rbreich They are obviously corrupt, but so far those with power to do anything about it have shown very little willingness...

but now, as an official act POTUS could go ahead and impeach them I suppose, but ordering an airstrike while the corrupt judges are vacationing with their billionaire sugar daddies would probably be much quicker.

Kobo adds color to its e-reader lineup for the first time, starting at $149

New Kobos are a lot cheaper than most no-name color e-readers you can buy.

@arstechnica Love my current Kobo! There are very few occasions I can think of where color might have been legitimately nice to have, but still sort of tempting to upgrade for this big technological upgrade.

Big Tech is extremely unimpressed by Apple’s EU App Store changes

"It took about an hour for app developers to realize they had been screwed."

@arstechnica Not just big tech!

devs or dev teams that aren't big enough to maintain apps in various app stores and wrestle with all the arbitrary approval hoops are also pissed. A lot of them just want PWAs to be a realistic option. Many already had working PWAs that will now be broken.

Your focus on "big tech" sets up a Google & Meta vs Apple frame. but Apple vs the web and indie devs, while maybe less dramatic is probably where the real impact lies for most users and devs

In New Mexico, the BLM has had to balance public safety and saving fossils

Blasting is happening at a former mining site that's also home to unique fossils.

@arstechnica Odd coincidence for me. I Just went on a family hike there last weekend!

Sure was a lot less pleasant due to the annoying beeps of construction equipment which feel especially to loud for the dessert.
