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.

Had occasion, as one does, to think on Shakespeare's sonnets this morning, which called to mind this bit of absolute gorgeousness from Judi Dench. In case you need some beauty: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XKS...

“Few could object to any of this. But the person it describes—a kind and conscientious sort, who aspires to make a decent living and who looks after their loved ones—seems blessedly gender-free. So why make this about manhood?”
Such a clear distillation of patriarchy as an organizing principle

Okay yeah the House caucus is pissed.
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.

Jeremy, I have followed your science advocacy on this platform with respect, but I find this thread deeply hurtful and sad and I am going to tell you why. While my wife did her postdoc at CSHL, she and our many dear friends had to endure the racist rhetoric of this man, which did constant harm
On one evening, the speakers were divided up and went to dinner parties hosted by some of the wealthy folks who lived around Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island. My dinner was delightful, with good conversation with our host (the mayor of a nearby village), his friends, and some other speakers.

Enjoying a short holiday with coffee, a slice of Mom’s poppyseed cake, and the brand new new murder mystery by @sherrythomas.com. Sherry Thomas wrote Ravishing the Heiress, the book that first got me hooked on romance novels if you don’t count Jane Austen

sharing what my family does because it is kind of crazy:
1. for each big holiday you have a semi-permanent dish. you bring that every year
2. if you want to try something new it must be in addition to your usual
3. if you are a new adult, you make deviled eggs until the next person comes of age

are potluck thanksgivings not the norm?
my family is so big that if one person tried to host our family dinner it would be like $1,000 dollars

Column: With Thanksgiving coming up, you may have noticed online posts about whether it's okay to charge guests for dinner.
It's part of a larger trend that, depending on your point of view, is either a major breach of etiquette or simply pragmatic.
