Make no mistake—this is Mike Rogers' position on data centers. He's got up to $2.6 million invested in companies cashing in on the data center boom, all while Michiganders watch their utility bills soar.

Martin Gregus Jr. captured this polar bear swimming alongside a pod of beluga whales on drone footage in the Arctic.
Polar bears are occasional predators of belugas (ambush at airholes), but they know they can easily outrun the bear in open water.

One of the key discriminators to the sequence of events that occurs after splashdown is whether Orion lands right-side up (stable 1) or upside down (stable 2).

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. 🔭🧪 #Artemis

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

I'm hoping to address this more, but there are contractual issues at play, so I'll say this: If you want to listen to Tides of History, or you have a backlog to get through, you should probably do it now. We'll be making episodes through April, but I can't speak to their availability.

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Our two spacecraft for NASA & UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory's ESCAPADE mission have been successfully encapsulated into the rocket fairing. This is the last time they'll be seen on Earth before their mission to Mars.

In parts of Michigan, you can pick up a fairly ordinary chunk of limestone & with some polishing, reveal a coral formation that was laid down when this area was a tropical sea in the Devonian, 350 MYA.
These are Petoskey stones, the state stone of Michigan.
