“the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald helped change safety standards. There has not been a single major commercial shipwreck on the Great Lakes for the past 50 years.”
50 years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald, a 'rock star' ship, sank in Lake Superior
Twenty-nine sailors drowned when the Edmund Fitzgerald went down in the Great Lakes' icy waters on Nov. 10, 1975. The ship was immortalized in a surprise hit 1976 folk ballad by Gordon Lightfoot.

All the Republicans saying stuff like "I GUESS NYC FINALLY FORGOT 9/11!!" is so funny. Apparently "never forget" was always just supposed to mean "we will be extra racists to middle easterners forever."
Maybe I'm naive but I thought it had something to do with remembering the victims? Guess not.

an attorney (suspended) claims the St. Louis sheriff (in jail) ordered him (before the suspension and jail) to intimidate a local reporter (who was reporting accurately) and the attorney apparently did so in basically the clumsiest way possible.

Trump is such a hypocrite.
On the one hand, he complains about Canada. On the other hand, he gives the White House the Canadian treatment.

Some people don’t care if they’re listening to music or just hearing noise. The latter (i.e. - the dingdongs) will eat this shit up.

On the recent batch of chili, once the onions, beef, and pork were cooked, I used two cups of beef stock instead of my normal one cup of beef stock. And I let the two cups cook down for a bit before adding the tomatoes and spices. I think the extra wet gave depth.

When I was five, I kept my Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom t-shirt on a hanger in my closet. I’m still not good at hanging my clothes up, but this t-shirt demanded the honor and it was easier to view and marvel at the art that way.
Rest in peace, Drew Struzan, and thank you for your good work.

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

As true as this post is, Lee Pace is only the second hottest character in The Fall.
The hottest character is Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, 2nd movement, and it ain’t even close.

When a Briton makes tea
They like to use a microwave unlike you & me
But it's magic

It's smells just like a septic tank when it's all
A'stewin'
Tell you bout the magic that will fill your cup
But it's almost guaranteed to make you throw up

St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different. That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress.
We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.

When people in St Louis ask where I went to high school, I usually say something along the lines of “not from around here”. That’s because I went to Grand Blanc (pronounced like “Blank”. Don’t French it up.) High School. Class of ‘99.
Multiple people have been shot at a Mormon church in Michigan and the shooter is down, police said Sunday.
