What if it was the intrinsic field generator that broke the Edmund Fitzgerald in half?

What if the walking circulatory system and the early gales of November are the same thing? Have you ever seen them in the same room?

I remember in high school standing with my friend at a Suncoast Video in the mall in the 90s commenting first on a new imported Godzilla movie and then an Edmund Fitzgerald documentary.

Without a beat, the sales clerk said “I don’t remember Godzilla fighting that ship.”

Absolute legend.

Meanwhile today I was reminded of the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck so it was worth taking a vacation break to check social media.

Because as someone who spent my formative years in Michigan, that shit is real.

They have a “prison break” set that’s obviously Alcatraz so this is not out of the question.

TIL the tale of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of corporate malfeasance and worker endangerment.

SS Edmund Fitzgerald had a structural defect in its keel. Sailors on that ship had complained about the ship bending and flexing during storms, especially when it was overloaded, which it usually was. They had also found old keel weld breaks due to structural fatigue, which were never repaired

"they don't know" meme template: the SS Edmund Fitzgerald is standing in the corner with a party hat on and saying "They don't know I'm the pride of the American side" two people dancing: yes we do. there's a song about it two other people dancing: does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

I'm pissed, but no amount of Democratic fuckery is going to keep me from #Fitzposting today. I've been saving memes for months. It's the 50th anniversary. I have 29 bottles of Great Lakes Brewing's Edmund Fitzgerald Porter lined up and ready to go (one for each man lost that day).

How many of these do I have? An embarrassing amount. Let’s continue…
A tweet by posting class hero @eightfoldpathPM my gf in whitefish bay: come over me, the captain of the edmund fitzgerald: idk, what if the gales of November come early my gf in whitefish bay: my parents aren't home me: (a painting of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald caught in a storm, being buffeted by waves) A drawing depicting the sinking of the Titanic labeled The Virgin Titanic. It’s surrounded by these quotes: Cargo of bourgeois socialites. Sunk by a big ice cube :[ "I'll never let go Jack." (Below this is a drawing of an angry man crying with an angry crying woman with a door sideways behind her) A painting depicting the SS Edmund Fitzgerald in a storm, labeled The Chad Edmund Fitzgerald It’s surrounded by these quotes: Proletariat load of iron ore 26,000 tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty. Bested by the mighty gales of November "Fellas it's been good t’know ya” (Below this is a drawing of a strong bearded sailor facing three other strong bearded sailors) Title reads: when they didn't believe you when you said that it was too rough to feed em and then the main hatchway caves in Meme photo of child holding a coffee mug and looking smug at the camera, captioned: IT'S BEEN GOOD T'KNOW YA Text reads: When someone notices I've been listening to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on repeat Screencap of an upset woman doing air quotes with her fingers, captioned: How "am" I?

It’s that day, y’all. Time to do some Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald posting…
Who Would Win meme One side reads, “a good ship and true with a load of iron ore 26,000 tons more than it weighed empty” Underneath is a photo of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the famed iron boat freighter The other side reads, “one stormy boi” Under this is a weather reading of a storm over Lake Superior, labeled “Lake Superior Nov 9-11, 1975. Significant Wave Height and Direction 7 PM EST, November 10, 1975.” The storm map is colorized and marked with a wave height scale off to one side. The two strong arms meme: a white man and a black man, both very built and strong, clasp hands in an overhand, bent-elbow handshake of sorts. One arm is labeled “Rick Astley”, the other is labeled “Lake Superior”, and their clasped hands are labeled “Never gonna give you up.” A pic of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Above it, it reads “I never see you at the club.” Below it, it reads “ well I never see you getting emotional about the 1975 ship wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" The top pic is a photo of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. The bottom is a screenshot of a woman saying “honey, you’ve got a big storm coming.”

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:
Chuck, portrayed by Paul Scheer, a member of the Good Place Committee: "He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy."
