Their sinking inspired a great Gordon Lightfoot song.
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.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs may not be the most charismatic Chief Executive the Grand Canyon state has ever had but unlike her immediate Republican predecessor Doug Ducey (an individual that also lacked the charisma gene,) people should judge her strength by her deeds on delivering for Arizonans and putting people first proving the old axiom that actions speak louder than her words.

I loved this conversation with Andi, and tried to get at something important that I think has been lost: feminism is a discrete ideology, and has a more specific meaning than “anything any woman ever says about gender.”
![The vagueness and nonspecificity that characterize “Did women ruin the workplace?” are hallmarks of right-wing rhetoric, says Moira Donegan, a Guardian columnist and writer-in-residence at Stanford’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research who co-hosts the podcast “In Bed With the Right.” “One revealing thing about the conversation is that you can tell these people are in an epistemic bubble where they’re not being challenged on what they’re saying. [They] presume a kind of intellectual entitlement where these are not words you have to make your audience understand. It’s one thing to do that when you’re at the National Conservatism Conference; it’s another when you’re in The New York Times.” Donegan adds one more term to the list, pointing out that the conversation “uses ‘feminism’ as a euphemism for ‘women,’ rather than defining feminism as a set of political commitments or ideals. [When] it’s espoused by a woman and is about gender, that’s presumed to be sufficient to define it as feminism.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sdu4rudzew7rtf26u5o4bdf7/bafkreiewwm3xmwvvxkqspo6ao6seoro5bcmynxh4imtcfhtbr54gxb7bgm@jpeg)

No, HHS, menopause does not in fact cause divorce and death, but tell us more about how great you are at women's health. @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and I wrote about how they somehow managed to mess up what should have been good news on HRT with weird claims. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
