Maine’s state legislature approved sweeping gun safety legislation including background checks on private gun sales, waiting periods for gun purchases and criminalizing gun sales to prohibited people before adjourning on Thursday morning, nearly six months after the deadliest shooting in state history.
The Democratic governor, Janet Mills, and the Democratic-led legislature pressed for a number of gun and mental health proposals after the shooting that claimed 18 lives and injured another 13 people, despite the state’s strong hunting tradition and support for gun owners.

…More than 200 chemical plants nationwide will be required to reduce toxic emissions that are likely to cause cancer under a new rule issued Tuesday by the Environmental Protection Agency. The rule advances President Joe Biden’s commitment to environmental justice by delivering critical health protections for communities burdened by industrial pollution from ethylene oxide, chloroprene and other dangerous chemicals, officials said.
Areas that will benefit from the new rule include majority-Black neighborhoods outside New Orleans that EPA Administrator Michael Regan visited as part of his 2021 Journey to Justice tour. The rule will significantly reduce emissions of chloroprene and other harmful pollutants at the Denka Performance Elastomer facility in LaPlace, Louisiana, the largest source of chloroprene emissions in the country, Regan said…

Tonight I am taking you guys waaaaaaaay back, back to a time many of you weren’t even so much as a twinkle in your daddy’s eye! The year was 1965, the artist was Lou Christie. The song was released as a single on Christmas day 1965, and on February 19, 1966, it hit the top of the pop charts. Says Christie …
“And they didn’t even like it! Lenny Shear threw it in the wastebasket and said it was a piece of crap! So we put up our own money to get it played around the country, and it started taking off once it got played. Three months later, Lenny was taking a picture with me for Billboard magazine, handing me a gold record. I loved that.”
The song was co-written by Christie and Twyla Herbert, who was at least 20 years older than Christie and came from a classical music background.
Now, I like the beat and the music, but I find the lyrics a bit misogynistic … he’s saying that he’s not ready to settle down, still playing the field, but he expects her to be a good girl and just sit twiddling her thumbs and wait for him to sow his wild oats. Um … double standard, Lou? Well, it was 1965, and we have come a long way since then … haven’t we? Um … well, yeah, perhaps not so much. Anyway, just listen … it’s good music. This one charted at #1 in the U.S. and Canada, and #11 in the UK.
