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.

There are not any undecided voters on Bluesky. Here I hope to be part of the public outcry that says ‘why the hell is Chuck Schumer still in charge’

Disappointing news out of Nebraska, where the University's Chancellor's Final Budget Reduction Plan continues to call for eliminating the Dept of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences - notably, against the recommendation of the university's Academic Planning Committee.

Do you think Jar Jar Binks was made for children to sympathize with indigenous populations? If so, which ones?

so like Sen Whitehouse but we can’t “get past” a betrayal that just happened.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

“Germany used renewables to phase out nuclear before coal” is the most accurate way of describing it. which is still a nonsensical decision given the relative emissions profiles of nuclear vs. coal
I often read on social media that Germany just replaced nuclear with coal.
That is evidently not the case.
Coal generation is down by more than 60% over last decade with nuclear now gone.
However, Germany could have phased out coal by now if it had kept nuclear generation going at 2011 levels.

I truly don't know what the right choice is here.
On the one hand, it's easy to say "Hold the line!" when you have a paycheck and zero food insecurity.
On the other hand, giving up what little leverage the minority party has in a bad situation is hard.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
