Did somebody say coffee?

[Ethel Braithwaite @Ethelbrait1941]

Never stop saying "dozen" and "half dozen". Never stop using the word you read in an old novella. Never stop using your regional jargon. Don't succumb to an internationalized English stripped of its whimsy and romanticism in the name of streamlining global commerce.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

The U.S. should add 3 more states.

Because 53 is a prime number.
Then they can truly be one nation, indivisible.

ON THIS DATE IN 1975: SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men.

When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there.

By late in the afternoon of November 10, sustained winds of over 58 mph were recorded by ships and observation points across eastern Lake Superior. The ship Arthur M. Anderson logged sustained winds as high as 67 mph at 4:52 p.m., while waves increased to as high as 25 feet by 6:00 p.m. Arthur M. Anderson was also struck by 81 to 86 mph gusts and rogue waves as high as 35 feet.

At approximately 7:10 p.m., when Arthur M. Anderson notified Edmund Fitzgerald of an upbound ship and asked how she was doing, Captain Ernest McSorley reported, "We are holding our own." She was never heard from again. No distress signal was received, and ten minutes later, Arthur M. Anderson lost the ability either to reach Edmund Fitzgerald by radio or to detect her on radar.

She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975, by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces.

250 years ago, a Navy was born - forged in the fight for freedom, built to defend a nation, and ready to meet every challenge since. ⚓️

From wooden ships to nuclear carriers, from signal flags to satellites - the U.S. Navy stands ready on every horizon.

Ever wondered what everyday life was like for people living 50, 100, or more years ago..?

If you come across a bear, never push a slower friend down…even if you feel the friendship has run its course.⁣⁣

@angelealias Is that Danny backhanding Monday out of existence while he's drinking his coffee? Because I fully endorse that idea.
