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.

When I was a child, I thought "magnets work because north and south attract." When I went to college I learned that something something quantum orbitals quark spin four (five?) fundamental forces. As an adult I think "magnets work because north and south attract"
What % of Americans actually understand how a basic magnet works? And then deduct "Americans who understand but haven't reached the voting age yet".

Yes the "liberal" press could take an interest in this one but the UK has no mainstream news outlet that isn’t extremely antitrans and thrilled to publish any lies in service of that agenda
At one point, the right wing press printed a story that 1000+ families were part of a law suit over Tavistock referrals for puberty blockers.
The only slight problem was that at that point, there hadn't even been a thousand kids referred.
OK so maybe a bigger problem was it was all MADE UP.

Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

“Why would a prominent venture capitalist [Peter Thiel ally Marc Andreessen] bristle at a pope calling for basic ethics? Because Pope Leo XIV may be the one authority on earth that Big Tech cannot control.” 1/
A tech billionaire mocked Pope Leo XIV’s call for ethical AI.
The post was deleted — but not before exposing Silicon Valley’s deeper discomfort: a pope they can’t buy or bully.
It also revealed something older: the Valley’s original sin — the desire to be God.

Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

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.
