Attention NYC: We made it past the earliest sunset of the year.
No, it's not on the solstice. That's the shortest day, but the earliest sunset is sooner and the latest sunrise is later.
So those of us who, like me, are primarily offended by early sunsets have officially survived rock bottom.

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.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

If you don’t understand a post, sure, you can respond with “Huh? What?,” or you can simply hold your tongue and let it go and move on with the absolute certainty that there’ll be, within seconds, another post that you also don’t understand.
