Removal of Statues at US Capitol Offensive to American Indians | USCHS Read this blog by the US Capitol Historical Society about two statues that once stood in front of the Capitol that were offensive to American Indians & removed.

The second one is a statue that used to be in front of the US Capitol building called "The Rescue", but it was removed because it was insensitive to Native Americans. capitolhistory.org/capitol-hist...

If you're a fan of Taskmaster, you should preorder their Advent calendar: taskmasterstore.com/products/tas...

We got one last year and it was a lot of fun. The puzzles and tasks were challenging and I'm looking forward to doing it again this year.

Access to the cars seemed to be organized by the Chinese manufacturers: it looked like an attempt to get Americans interested. I didn't notice any policy pushes after it, so I wonder what made them stop.

There was a brief moment last year where a ton of the car youtubers were checking out the EVs from China. They were all obviously in a whole other value/quality class than any American car.

What kind of food do you like? How far are you willing to go?

First suggestion is to find a way up to Diane's Place tomorrow morning and have a coffee and pastry on the patio. Diane Moua has won several national awards for her pastries and it's worth the trip.

Can you add the ability to link to a particular time? Then I could add a link from my 3D tracker timeline thing to your transcript.

This is possibly the most incredible tracking video of a rocket launch that I have ever seen, and Shuttle had some really incredible videos too!

Just look at those gorgeous flame dynamics and then the booster separation... πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ #Artemis

A bit of a different take on the amazing Artemis II launch footage.

Here I stitched clips from the four Solar Array Wing Cameras to make this panoramic video.

This is during the later part of the Core Stage burn until MECO and stage separation, sped up to 10x. πŸ”­πŸ§ͺ #Artemis

Wonder why I haven't heard about this little green lunar inhabitant waving at the Artemis crew yet.

We went to the Frost game yesterday and it was easily the most fun I've had a sporting event in years. Lots of action, super energetic/fun fans. Highly recommended!

One day someone should post one of these "rockets launching as seen from satellite" but the rocket comes all the way up to the satellite, someone gets out to clean the sensor, and then goes back down to the Earth.

NASA: Artemis II Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a sustained human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

The official Artemis tracking site (www.
nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/) doesn't work for me, so I built a better one using the same telemetry data:

I've seen 3 or 4 different examples of these robots breaking through the bus stop glass in Chicago on Instagram Reels, so I imagine it did.

The sensors are only ~$300. I wonder if we could use one of the St Paul community grant programs to buy some. Then the hardest part is deploying them and maintaining them.
