M44, the Beehive Cluster, in the center of the constellation Cancer. Made up of around 1000 stars. A fairly close 600 light years away. The light this image captured left in the age of Henry VI of England and Joan of Arc. Taken May 1, 2026 #astrophotography #astronomy

Logos, ethos, pathos

Castor, the star that is the “head” of one of the twins in the constellation Gemini (actually, it’s a 6-star system of 3 pairs of binary stars). The light that created this image left Castor in 1975 (year the Vietnam War ended, “Jaws” was released, and SNL debuted).

Gwen informs me there is a puppy *almost* as cute as her who seems to be living in our wine fridge. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

Environmental advocates and opponents of a proposed mine near the Boundary Waters vowed to continue fighting after the U.S. Senate voted on to repeal a mining ban near the protected wilderness.

More morning knucklehead shenanigans from Gwen and Dewi. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

One of Gwen’s favorite tactics is to orbit the coffee table to build up speed for launching herself at her brother, Dewi. This results in blurry pics due to her velocity. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

“According to a recent study… only 2% of college students — and only 3% of college students who identify as Republicans — said their political views have made them feel out of place on their campus. Thus, the right’s characterization of higher education is a fiction.”

Main feeling was relief. Probably because of being a teen when Challenger happened, I have nightmares roughly once a month about witnessing a spacecraft explode on take off or landing. This was exacerbated by the bad mojo we seem to have accrued as a nation. Major exhale when they splashed down.

This is so well done. 👌

Well, another day where I see a post claiming to be quoting Trump, know immediately it’s too asinine and cartoonish to be real, start drafting a response pleading for folks to fact check before posting, only to find out the man who occupies the office of Washington and Lincoln is beyond parody.

More mouth wrasslin’. When she needs a boost, Gwen does a lap around the coffee table to work up a head of steam to charge into Dewi. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

Literally. Can we please, pretty please, stop wasting resources on the consultants.

Man. Bruce Springsteen is on an absolute mission with this tour. Called this a Treasonous and corrupt regime, and welcoming in fans to the Land of Hope and Dreams your, asking to choose peace over WAR, and launching into a blistering version of “war”. Here. For. It. ✊🏼 🎸 🔥 👊🏼

Tomorrow, tune in for the first two songs from the opening night of the Springsteen & E Street Land of Hopes & Dreams American Tour, live from Minneapolis, MN. The livestream will be free on YouTube, as well as for subscribers in the nugs app.

Good morning from Gwen. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

Bruce Springsteen performs "Streets of Minneapolis" at the #NoKings rally in St. Paul. Video by Neal Justin.

✨✨ NO KINGS RALLY ✨✨ The No Kings rally in St. Paul, MN is expected to draw 100,000. Govenors Walz will be attending and Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen will be performing. I am so proud of my state and we WILL get justice for Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. ⚖️ www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

I would greatly appreciate anyone amplifying this or contributing. The Alex Pretti nursing scholarship is being created. An endowed scholarship awarded to a student with financial need. Preference will be given to students with an interest in supporting America's veterans. Link below. Thank you.

This effort has the consent of the Pretti family, with the hope that it carries forth Alex’s legacy as a dedicated ICU nurse at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System by empowering aspiring nurses to follow his path of caring for and advocating on the behalf of our nation’s veterans.

Bruce Springsteen apparently can’t get enough of the Twin Cities. Before he kicks off his tour in Minneapolis, he’ll perform at the No Kings rally on Saturday at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul.

Gwen is tuckered out. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

Jane Fonda and Joan Baez, celebrities known for their committed activism, will be in St. Paul for the No Kings Twin Cities protest on March 28. Joan Baez and fellow musician/activist Maggie Rogers will close out the event by performing together.

WAY 2 GO MINNESOTA!!! BRAVO!!! The people of Minneapolis-St. Paul are being honored with a John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for their response to the federal immigration enforcement operation this winter, the JFK Library Foundation announced Wednesday. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
