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.

if the lake is big enough to have waves like the sea maybe you should leave it alone

cat knocked over half a glass of water while I was out that stayed on the wood table for several hours and the latest tech is apparently an iron and dishcloth for a recent stain

I don't have an iron (heathen, I know) but I did find yet another thing a cast iron skillet can do (it worked)

We should be treating anti-vaxxers as an existential threat, because they are.

La police de Nunavik tue son frère... et accuse lui, au lendemain d'une manifestation anti-brutalité-policière, d'entraver à la police. Ce, après trois meurtres par la police en huit mois.

C'est une injustice tellement injuste, c'est absurde.

as happens every year there was a brief conversation in this house about why do we live in a place this dark and cold and the verdict was one of us is from a country entirely at high latitudes and the other is from a place that includes hawaii and california but wants its citizens to die

truly a special place especially to see year after year as the river rearranges things with varying degrees of drama
Made it to one of my favorite places this weekend, the Whitewater Preserve near Palm Springs. Whitewater River is a gem.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

2256.42%????

TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩
