A screenshot of the Artemis livestream with the Integrity module on the left and a half-illuminated Earth getting big on the screen in the center. The black of space is all around.
The #Artemis II livestream continues to be the best thing on the internet. 😍
The return-to-Earth live coverage begins at 6:30pm Eastern (in about 90 minutes) with splashdown in the Pacific scheduled for 8:07pm Eastern.

Hey! I'm not there anymore!
This is one of my favorite paintings, along with Judith Slaying Holofernes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_...
Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.
Big, if true
Just so you know, when you say "hey do you want to know something cool?" Most people say yes.
My colleague @katereports.bsky.social & I found most of those Minnesota residents were deported to Latin American countries, including almost 600 people returned to Mexico and about 520 deported to Ecuador. At least 17 minors were also deported. (2) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Better than trying to find parking around its current location!
It's a core memory, for sure
Fyi, the numbers in this piece were obtained via a FOIA lawsuit by the @deportationdata.org. They provide the best picture yet of fed arrests during surge. My colleague @katereports.bsky.social helped clean the data for us and highlighted the top line takeaways. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Thanks to a FOIA lawsuit from @deportationdata.org, Minnesota is getting its first credible numbers on arrests during the federal government's surge here this winter. About 3,800 Minnesota residents were arrested. Most from Latin America (only 106 from Somalia). (1)
I'm at the @nclocal.bsky.social News and Information Summit. It's awesome to see so many talented and dedicated people. Yes, I still live in North Carolina (for the several people who seemed surprised that I haven't moved yet)
Talented reporters @elliemroth.bsky.social @jenpenned.bsky.social and Chris Peak take us to the the epicenter of Minnesota's group home boom. Police visited one such home 88 times in a year - more than once a week.
When I was in elementary school we did a trip to the Wonder Bread factory in Denver. At the time I was attending a primarily Hispanic school. Most of the trips were like that.
One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down.
But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.
When I was in high school in Alaska, I sewed little doggie booties out of polar fleece and velcro for seemingly hours on end. This is so far above and beyond. I'm in awe.
UGH Why does the time change feel like it steals half a day from you?
Another 3d printer I see!
I pitched five perfect innings in a Little League World Series game.
AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal. The court ruled that a work must have a human creator to qualify for copyright protection. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
Great advice for those of us in journalism covering AI technologies or experimenting with how to use them responsibly.
When I tell people to not be afraid of maths I secretly picture this meme and go back to work on my Excel files…
I recall an internet debate around 2018-19 where a guy who went to a state school was told he needed an Ivy degree to get into journalism. I still think about that now and then.
The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.
We suffered through a week of zero heat because the last time we called the HVAC people, they wanted to bill us for $1500 and it wouldn't even have solved the problem.
Husband bought $400 of parts and it's fine but it took 10 hours or so.
A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.
My friends at Niemanreports.org asked me to write about the experience of being a journalist on the ground in Minneapolis right now. I knew I wanted to tell reporters elsewhere how even this most hopeless of times has been clarifying and, in some ways, energizing. (1) share.google/ms1wKDQZmgep...
