“The last lift before the Aerial Lift Bridge’s 95th birthday goes to the Edgar B. Speer! And the bridge was fittingly lit in red and green for the Christmas City of the North Parade, which took place downtown earlier this evening.” - Stephanie Irwin

🚢⚓ Maritime archaeologist Tamara Thomsen from the #Wisconsin Historical Society investigates thousands of shipwrecks across the #GreatLakes, which became a major transportation hub in the 19th century before modern roads and railways existed.
Her team has documented over 780 vessels lost in Wisconsin waters alone, ranging from 1679's Griffon to modern ships, plus ancient #Indigenous dugout canoes up to 5,000 years old discovered in #LakeMendota.

Obviously it's a very bad sign when members of Congress are issuing warnings to active servicemembers about illegal orders. But it is funny to me that they let Slotkin end it with a line that's an utter non sequitur to anyone not from Ohio or Michigan.
Today’s frame in the filmstrip reel that I run through my head when the day is overwhelming or when sleep is slow to come.
Sunrise on Lake Superior from Whitefish Point in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This was the first place I ever felt that deep, peaceful vibe — long before I felt something similar while looking out over the Pacific at Big Sur.
Meeting with Members of Congress today about Great Lakes protection. Let's remind them that clean water, healthy ecosystems, and thriving communities aren't negotiable. #GreatLakes #CleanWater
Yo prefiero morir totalmente cuando me alcance. Mi cobardía no será Eterna.
Un saludo, Jenny.

Sí, huimos de la Angustia Existencial metiéndonos en ella, metiéndonos en el Fuego. ¡Qué vergüenza y qué Horror! ¡¡Qué Cobardía!!

No me digas. Eso está silenciado, como están haciendo con esto. No hay duda, el problema de fondo es Cobardía. Pero en aquellas ocasiones había continuidad. Ahora solo hay Fuego.

Claro, yo también estoy avergonzado. Lo cierto es que desde la primera infancia se nos obligó a estar de acuerdo. Y se nos desinformó muy cruelmente.

La Cobardía explica muy bien lo que está pasando, verdad? Un Muro de silencio cobarde.

"Ryan Friedrichs, a vice president for the company pushing the controversial AI data center project in Saline Township, and the husband of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, would recuse himself from any projects before the state if Benson is elected governor in 2026.
That said, the company stopped short of saying that Friedrichs would leave his post at the company, which is owned by one of Benson’s larger donors. Whether Friedrichs stepping down or stepping away from the company would resolve the conflict remains an open question for the state’s voters in the August 2026 primary, or the general election should Benson move on to the fall contest."
