In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. -Jimmy Carter

@stephencolbert.bsky.social CBS was so rightly offended by his new Upper Lip Rug that they canceled it. I feel the same way about a mustache. 🥸☹️

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. -Frédéric Bastiat, economist and writer (30 Jun 1801-1850)

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement.

The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.
Israel aggressively bombing Iran—unlike two incidents of strikes in 2024, which followed Iranian missiles launches against Israel—is in part another consequence of a weak, chaotic US president.

Worth noting that this didn't happen under Biden, Obama, or Bush, despite Israel talking about it a lot.

TACO Trump just doubled tariffs again.

Because nothing says “pro-worker” like raising costs on Ohio manufacturers and risking jobs tied to Canada, our top trading partner.

These tantrums make us look weak and leave working families paying the price.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him?

KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Until vampires show up in “Sinners,” the film plays as a work of minutely observed historical fiction and “develops a richly delineated dramatic ethnography of Black life in the age of Jim Crow,” @tnyfrontrow.bsky.social writes.
“Sinners” Is a Virtuosic Fusion of Historical Realism and Horror
Ryan Coogler’s vampire movie mines vampirism’s symbolic potential to tell a tale of exploitation and Black music in nineteen-thirties Mississippi.
