If you ever find yourself in Field, Alberta, I highly recommend a visit to the Yoho National Park visitor's centre! They have a display of Burgess shale fossils that I found really cool. (And if you're very ambitious you can sign up for one of the restricted hikes to the shale beds themselves.)

With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!

Ah, Dr. Jen Gunter has the details on how they arrived at this decision. Spoiler: it didn't involve science.

Watch: FDA Commissioner on lifting warnings on hormone therapy for menopause Hormone therapy drugs have carried box warning labels for years. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary talks with NPR about why the agency is removing them.

Holy shit! I didn't think we'd ever see this with the current wingnuts in charge.
The cynic in me is wondering what the catch is going to be.

The winner of this year's Miss World Chile performed a short musical number during for the crowd.

Maybe it's just me, but the crowd really didn't look like they knew what to make of it. At least they gave her polite applause at the end.

TheοΏ½ A large red and white Great Lakes freighter named "Edmund Fitzgerald" sails on calm blue water under an overcast sky. The ship has a white superstructure with multiple windows, a tall mast with flags including a Canadian flag, and black smoke rising from its yellow-and-black smokestack at the stern. Green forested shoreline is visible in the background.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.
