Hazardous

New Jersey is home to the most hazardous waste sites in the United States, with 114 as of October 2021. This was followed by California and Pennsylvania, which had 97 and 90 sites, respectively.

In 1980, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) or "Superfund" was passed. This allowed the Environmental Protection Agency to clean up the most contaminated sites in the United States. As of 2021, there were more than 1,300 Superfund sites on the National Priorities List (NPL). Superfund sites are hazardous waste sites, such as landfills and mines, where toxic waste has been dumped. This toxic waste can leak into groundwater, streams, and soil, causing pollution that can harm humans and the environment.

Reanimation

It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.

Reanimated

We watched NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD last night. I always seem to forget what an amazing film it is.

Found this neat project on Dread Central:

"Reanimated is a new way of making Romero’s classic tale come to life; artists are encouraged to create their own animated version of NotLD with the only restrictions being that the animation has to match the film’s original soundtrack, has to be in black and white, and has to
be original artwork."
