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.

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet

After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

#OTD in Weather History, 48 years ago, on November 10, 1975, the ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.

She is perhaps the best known shipwreck on the Great Lakes, and today we remember her loss. 1/

After I retired, from 2016 to 2021, I roamed rural #Georgia with my camera and took pictures. Here is image number 173 from the series.

An industrial structure featuring two weathered cylindrical metal silos mounted on an angular steel framework against an overcast sky. The silos show significant rust and corrosion, with reddish-brown staining on their silver-gray surfaces. Each silo has a domed top with protruding pipe fittings. The supporting framework consists of dark metal beams arranged in a triangular configuration. To the left stands a corrugated metal building with vertical ribbing and a multi-paned window. A thin vertical rod extends upward from the central silo. The scene has a muted, desaturated color palette. Bare winter trees are visible in the background along with what appears to be a white shipping container or storage unit.

When you're looking out over the snowy tundra and suddenly these two pop up out of the willows. Polar bears, especially males, will sometimes kill time while waiting for the ice to freeze with a little friendly sparring. #mammals #BearSeason2025 🌿

Two large polar bears can be seen from a distance standing on their hind legs sparring with each other among the bare willows in the lightly falling snow.

Two large polar bears can be seen from a distance sparring with each other among the bare willows in the lightly falling snow. Only the head of the left one is visible as he stretches his neck up over the willows to play bitey face with the one standing above him.

Two large polar bears are locked in playful battle on their hind legs, viewed from a distance in the bare willows and snowy tundra.

Katie Wilson for Seattle @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social · 1d

Many people think this race could be decided by only a handful of votes (here’s former Seattle mayor Greg Nickels). Have YOU checked to make sure that yours was counted? Check our link in bio to check on your vote with King County elections!

an image of a post by former mayor Gregory Nickels that links to AC at all times. op-ed article titled Katie Wilson gains on Bruce Harrell as mayor's race goes down to the wire. the mayor's commentary says if there are 45,000 remaining Seattle ballots, as the times reports the county estimates, and Katie takes 54.85% as she did in 2 days count( according to the strangers report on the Friday account) she defeats Bruce by 65 votes. Yeah this will be close

If you have a Dem senator and you're seeing this right now, CALL THEM RIGHT NOW and tell them NO. If you don't know anyone who would be affected by this, call them for my friend Lisa. She cannot afford insurance without ACA subsidies and without health insurance I'm terrified she will die.
