A 4-year-old went fishing on Lake Michigan and found an 152-year-old shipwreck

The wreck matches the descriptions of the George L. Newman, which was built in 1855 and sank in 1871 during the worst forest fire in U.S. history.

Today I learned to take diabetes more seriously. I’m Type 2 and it was discovered last year when I had a stroke. Anyway, I go to the gym three days a week and work out with a personal trainer for 30 minutes. Nothing too strenuous as my balance isn’t as good as it should be and neither is my coordination. I was doing intervals, 2 minutes on ski machine followed by one minute of rest then two minutes on a stationary bike followed by a minute of rest then two strength exercises. I made it through one round. I got dizzy, weak, and my balance was very bad. I had to call my wife to come get me and drive me home.
The lesson I learned was that I need to eat some sort of breakfast before any activity and don’t skip meals. It took all day Friday and all of Saturday to recover.

Yeah, TikTok is like the 13th sign of the apocalypse and we're up to probably 45 now.

I've learned the "Not Interested" button really cleans out a lot of the junk. Takes a while but it works.

I’m jealous

Don't be, mine rarely plays songs that I actually like.

I'm completely lost as to what TikTok is all about.
I assumed it was a platform for conceited people to show the world how foolish they can be.

While reading about the closing of "The Belle Chase Car Wash"
TIL that the Highway 11 bridge was originally a toll bridge.

"The bridge opened on February 18, 1928, as the first permanent crossing of Lake Pontchartrain.
The bridge was originally a toll structure, costing $1.25 for a motor vehicle with one driver plus ten cents for each additional passenger."
