The Milky Way over a northern Minnesota river. Looks like there's only one satellite in this photo. That's pretty unusual these days.
A vertical photo of the Milky Way rising above a northern Minnesota river. The river enters the photo in the lower right and extends outwards and to the left. The shore of the river is surrounded by green vegetation. Beyond the vegetation, tall pine trees are silhouetted against the night sky. The surface of the river is calm, reflecting the galactic core, the stars above, and the tree silhouettes. 

Above, the Milky Way core rises through a gap in the trees at the back of the river. The bright core shines with a warm glow near the horizon before transitioning to cooler tones tinged with blues and purples above. The faint green and purple lines of air glow can be seen in the sky.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...
The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

No.
Screenshot of text from PC world article:

AI as the foundation of the operating system
Windows 12 will not treat AI as an add-on feature, but will anchor it as a fundamental part of the system. Copilot is evolving from an optional assistant to a central control instance. OS-wide integration will replace selective AI functions.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.
Keep Minnesota Housed!
Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction.
Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds!

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them. Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."
