One of the first things I did after receiving a copy of this US EPA report on 4/21 was filing a request for judicial notice of the report by the Judge in my US Dept of Labor env whistleblower lawsuit. Apple had two weeks to respond. Apple decided to pretend like it doesn't exist.

This is where it gets bizarre. Remember: Apple still had not registered this facility for semiconductor fab & it was a skunkworks R&D building only city HazMat knew about. So why is a California Energy Commission leader filing a city Public Records Request for this exact report?

In 2019, Apple said they were purging their phosphine & silane lines, but failed to put the system "in test" first, which resulted in a toxic gas alarm. Apple said it was a "normal process for them." HazMat said ok & redacted Apple's name. It seemed odd but no venting that time.

🧵 I discovered something very weird last night. Apple had a bunch of chemical spills/leaks at 3250 Scott (you'll hear more about this soon!) & city HazMat helped keep it quiet, but in 2020 a Cal gov official requested a copy of a 2019 incident report for phosphine & silane leaks…

I really like that my federal civil Gjovik v Apple lawsuit docket is open to the public on PACER & people can easily follow along. However the US Dept of Labor hazardous waste whistleblower case doesn't use PACER. So today I created a public docket for that case here:

True! California has always been a mess.

Made me think about the graft trials too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Fra...

I had no idea that the first corporate personhood case was out of Santa Clara County or that it was decided so arbitrarily. In retrospect, I guess it seems appropriate that the idea came out of the Missions and Defense/Silicon Valley.

"This is the longest duration Excessive Heat Warning we have ever issued at the NWS Bay Area Office." I hope people are careful if they can, and that San Jose and SF offer cooling centers. Most of SF doesn't even have A/C. This sounds like it could be really challenging for a lot of people.
