This year marks the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The story of the loss of this great ship continues to haunt those who grew up along both sides of the Great Lakes. Join Meidas Canada host Charlie Angus on a historical and musical voyage to explore the legacy of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I made a mistake in the video explaining the role of the plimsoll line. The line which defined the lowest a ship could sit in the water kept getting raised so more ore could be taken on board which meant the ship sat lower and lower in the water.

Ramble On: Waiting for the Barbarians (video) Morning thoughts on exfiltrations, the gutting of the FDA, tomorrow's protests, and how to quiet the brain by visiting Alexandria Greg Olear Apr 4 Good morning! Here is today’s ramble: And here is the transcript, edited for clarity: Good morning. It is Friday, April 4th, 6:17 a.m. We’ve made it. Those of us who have made it have made it through another batshit crazy week, courtesy of Trump and Musk and Vance and this entire cockamamie administration. There’s so many things to discuss.  The Five 8  is gonna be lit tonight. I encourage you to watch that if you’re around, at 8 p.m. Eastern,  on our YouTube channel,  The Five 8 . This morning, I don’t know, I want to talk about a couple of things and my own emotional state this week, because I think that might be helpful. Two stories that really stuck out for me. One of them I wrote about on Monday, or Tuesday rather, in  the April Fool’s piece , which is that the ICE Ge...

POLITICO Nightly: Tesla’s Elon Musk problem

Image
  By  Charlie Mahtesian  and  Calder McHugh Presented by  Elon Musk speaks during a cabinet meeting at the White House today. | Al Drago/Bloomberg BEAR MARKET  — You wouldn’t know it from the frenetic, high profile he currently cuts in Washington, but tech mogul Elon Musk has  lost more than $100 billion in net worth  since mid-December. In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election, the share price of the high-flying electric car company he leads, Tesla, climbed to a high of roughly $480 per share. But it has since cratered to under $300. Shares dropped another 4 percent today, to close at $290.80 per share. For Musk, the world’s richest man and Tesla’s largest shareholder, those are just paper losses. He owns and runs several other companies — among them SpaceX, Twitter, and artificial intelligence startup xAI — so Tesla’s recent decline is just a flesh wound. But the largely parallel timeline between Tesla’s nosedive and Musk’s rise as something ...
