Fireworks Will Soon Be Permitted In Ohio, Legally Allowing Residents To Blow Off Their Hand As Early As 2020 [Miller]If you didn't grow up in Ohio, it may surprise you to learn that fireworks are, in fact, illegal, given the easy availability for purchase. Plus, you now, the constant barrage of noise from all the backyard fireworks that happens from, oh, June - September.

Longread 💻The Atlantic looks at the hidden role Facebook played in the 2016 election. This is something we still don't fully understand collectively:The information systems that people use to process news have been rerouted through Facebook, and in the process, mostly broken and hidden from view. It wasn’t just liberal bias that kept the media from putting everything together. Much of the hundreds of millions of dollars that was spent during the election cycle came in the form of “dark ads.”The truth is that while many reporters knew some things that were going on on Facebook, no one knew everything that was going on on Facebook, not even Facebook.
