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.

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

The #BioTech #ColossalBio is developing will transform healthcare; genetic disease & infertility? Gone.

I'm mad. Please put in the newspaper that I'm mad.

I can't help but think that poisoning wells was once one of the worst things you could do. Now it's just economy.

Firstly, billionaires are not physically made of stocks, if a billionaire falls down a hole and expires his stock portfolio persists and continues to have value, secondarily, this is why one diversifies one's investment portfolio outside of the stock market, thirdly, okay, let's test this hypothesis

Informative article. We also don’t figure personal debt into the equation. If we did, I bet nearly half the U.S. population would be in poverty.

Please spread the word collecting dead bats or any animal as decorations is not okay. Beautiful tiny bats are now a threatened species due to collectors.

When we have a Congressional majority that is actually in Congress there really needs to be a root and branch rewriting of privacy laws, data and digital rights. The Privacy Act was written in 1974, and has been continuously ignored by the Trump admin.

A billionaire who thought we shouldn't give the poor free COVID vaccines, and hung out with Epstein, wrote some weird, vague stuff about how climate change "isn't that bad" and now the media is covering that rather than a record climate fueled hurricane. The age of oligarchy sure is exhausting.

Simply incredible imagery of Hurricane Melissa this morning as it approaches Jamaica.

This is a deeply concerning result. It needs to be taken seriously & headed off by all of government, including Parliament, and civil society. Military rule or even a greater role of the military in civil affairs would be a disaster and should not even be contemplated. www.news24.com/politics/pro-
