- Emory Andrew Tate III (born 1 December 1986) is an American and British social media personality, businessman, and former professional kickboxer. He gained notoriety for promoting various positions in the manosphere community. His controversial commentary has resulted in his expulsion from various social media platforms and concern that he promotes misogynist views to his audience. As a divisive influencer, Tate has amassed 9.9 million followers on X and was the third-most googled person in 2023, with most British adults aware of who he is. He has been dubbed the “king of toxic masculinity”, has called himself a misogynist and is politically described as both right-wing and far-right. As of August 2024, Tate is facing five legal investigations—three criminal and two civil—in Romania and the United Kingdom.
- Lummi River (Wikipedia)
The Lummi River is the current name for a river channel that was, prior to the beginning of the 20th century, the main outflow channel for the Nooksack River. It then emptied into Lummi Bay rather than Bellingham Bay, as the current channel of the Nooksack River does. At the time, the channel that now serves as the main channel of the Nooksack River was restricted by a massive, mile-long, log jam. This was the result of the timber industry floating logs downriver to ports for processing and shipping.
