"If you’ve ever thanked a veteran, this is the moment to mean it. Don’t just post a flag or say the words. Demand better. Call the senators who stopped fighting for Americans on November 9," writes U.S. Air Force veteran Michael Burnell, Jr.

REALLY hate this new thing in the #BigTen where they don't announce a game time until the week of the #Football game. I really hope the #Gophers game for #PaulBunyansAxe vs the #badgers is a day game. Such better atmosphere that way.

A cleaned-up bootleg of the Dü's live appearance in Minneapolis at the beginning of 1985, which was a helluva year for them. It captures the energy of the bad very nicely.

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.

In January of 2021, photos started bouncing round the internet of this deeply weird thing happening in the sky above Glasgow, Scotland. Photoshop trickery?
The bizarre truth:
- yes, everyone really saw these
- no, they're not faked or manmade
- they absolutely don't exist.
