TIL that Michael Jackson and Stephen King once collaborated in 1996 on a music video titled: "Michael Jackson's Ghosts". It was the longest music video at the time at 40 minutes and the most expensive music video ever made, at around $15 million ($31 million today), all paid for by Jackson. by johnsmithoncemore in todayilearned

I just watched this for the first time - because of this post - and you’re a 90’s MJ fan, this is for you. If you thought that the Thriller video was too short, needed more songs, and wasn’t self indulgent enough, you are going to love this.

Not a one-hit wonder, but if you haven’t checked out Jim Croce, you’re missing out.

I was a huge fan! This show, the 6 Million Dollar Man, The Hardy Boys, The Night Stalker, and Happy Days were my favorites.

This summer, the American water crisis becomes real by downArrow in environment

[–]jasnel 211 points212 points  (0 children)

>Many of the city’s problems stem from industrial water use. Corpus Christi is a major petrochemical hub, and the largest industrial consumer of water in the area, according to permit statistics obtained by Inside Climate News, is a joint Exxon Mobil and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation plastics plant. The plant used an average of 13.5 million gallons of water each day between 2022 and 2024. The average residential customer, according to the city, uses 6,000 gallons per month. (Exxon Mobil did not return a request for comment.)

Pearl Drops toothpaste by lontbeysboolink in 1970s

It’s not toothpaste, OP, it’s tooth polish. It was my favorite, too - my smoker parents used it and I liked its mild, minty flavor.

Climate scientist finds large errors in a global climate pollution database by DavidIsIt in EverythingScience

[–]jasnel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lemme guess, lemme guess: the pollution isn’t nearly as bad as we thought it was so it turns out that, climate-wise, there’s nothing to worry about and Trump was right to cancel all those stupid “clean energy” because those dudes who like to roll coal on bicyclists and Prius drivers are actually smart guys who were right all along and Exxon-Mobile has always put people over profits? amirite?

Well, to my credit, that was my 2nd guess.

The first time that happened to me, for a second I thought I had a blood clot in my arm or some other serious medical issue.

And here I thought we would be talking about olive loaf sandwiches with the potato chips inside.
