Didn't Noah build an ark?
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.

Unpopular opinion: Neither the lyrics nor the melody of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald are all that interesting. The event itself was a tragedy and deserves to be solemnly remembered, but the song—apart from Lightfoot’s performance—is just mid.

A lot of the NYC post-election analysis is bad. Cuomo is god awful and voters did not want a sex pest mayor; Silwa is a cat guy who talks about how many times he's been shot; and Adams dropped out because he wanted to go on more Turkish Airlines flights. It's not complicated.

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.

The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"
