The proposal comes after a new study suggested that the substance—an endocrine disruptor and carcinogen—may be especially dangerous to pregnant women, even in low doses. In addition to the ban, which would mandate that businesses offer electronic receipts, the City Council is also considering making paper receipts recyclable and providing alternatives to BPA receipt paper.

Something worth reading: Jamie Lauren Keiles’s new write-up of Adam Sandler for the NYT Mag. Like always, they take a sharp and discerning approach to what might otherwise be dismissed as low-minded pop culture. They’ve written some other great features on Bhad Bhabie, ASMR, and national parks.
