A pretty rare PDS tornado watch 🌪️ for southern Minnesota today. It's an Oklahoma atmosphere overhead.

Kinda hoping you found this tweet by looking up “aurora in Minnesota” in hopes of cool pics and stumbled upon a women’s soccer team instead.

In retrospect, it will seem inevitable that a huge spritzing cherry wrapped in a Canadian smoke haze would become the emotional centerpiece of Les Misérables 2: A Bridge Too Far.

MN parents - what's the summer camp situation with all these air quality alerts? Are you pulling kids out of day camps? Are places canceling? Are camps attempting to keep kids indoors?

I forgot to post this on this nightmare site, but here's an explainer I wrote (separate from the main story about DOJ report on MPD), which covers what a Consent Decree is and means for Minneapolis. Get yourself up to speed before your weekend gatherings! mprnews.org/story/2023/03/27…

I mean we’ll still have to see each other whenever Voyageurs National Park has a birthday or graduation or something and it’s our job to just be cool about it, ok? For the wolves.
ALT This is a map that’s going around (again). It shows a proposal for Republican parts of Minnesota to secede and join South Dakota. The dividing line appears to split Voyageurs National Park down the middle making for a complex joint custody arrangement. Park feels so isolated as it is and now this.
