I really hope the activity stays strong enough for us to see the aurora in the Twin Cities once it gets dark!!

The show has started for mid-latitudes in the U.S. Big, beautiful purple pillars can be seen now from Maine. If you have clear skies, go out and check your northern horizon! go.theauroraguy.com/webcams

Hi, I'm Kristin Clemens, a software engineer and sci-fi/fantasy/video gaming geek in Bloomington. I foster pit bulls with my partner, and we recently foster-failed with our dog Ned. I like in "The Package" when the deep bass rumble kicks in at 32s. This is my go-to song for testing sound systems.

Hi, I'm John Moe, a writer and podcast maker in Saint Paul. I am married with three mostly grown kids and two nice dogs. I like in "Misunderstood" when Tweedy throws in extra syllables on "Take the guitar player for a ride". Would you like to introduce yourself with a small song moment you like?

Minneapolis/St. Paul folks: we have two large bags of hydrolyzed protein kibble from Royal Canin that we would like to donate to a family or families in need. These are prescription only, so rescues can't use them, and I'd like them to go to folks whose pups are already on this diet, or have been.

I know I could drop them off at a food pantry, but I am not sure if they would just be given out as general food, or if the food pantry would even accept them (for the same reason our rescue can't give it out).

If anyone knows folks whose pups are on or have been on this kibble and who currently are struggling to afford the cost, please let me know. We're happy to drive most places in the Twin Cities to deliver it, and just as far further south from ~Mall of America area.

Hennepin County has cancelled the monthly outdoor warning siren test today due to the potential for severe weather. If you hear sirens today, assume it is a real alert and seek shelter immediately.

The best cab interaction I've ever had was in Chicago with a Nigerian guy who spoke English well but didn't get colloquialisms. He said we'd have to take a detour because a road was closed for the "parade of proud homosexuals."

There are definitely some people I have blocked over the years but I don’t know who this might be, based on the internet’s suggestion that their name starts with M, they are in their 60s, and live somewhere in Southern CA. I’m not sure I’ve blocked anyone in that demographic. 🤔

From Apr 23-28 we were live 55+ hours covering an exhausting severe weather stretch, reaching 10M+ people on YouTube. Y’all raised $160,000+ for storm victims and helped give out 1,200 NOAA free weather radios. Thank you for showing up when it mattered.

Before you send me a message about this: Yes, the MSP feed is down. It’s not just you and I didn’t kick you out. I don’t run the back end and I can’t fix it. Jaz runs the back end and she won’t be able to fix it until she gets back home in 2 weeks. Let’s all go read books and run around the lakes

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows. The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80. The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.

"Knights of Cydonia" by Muse. Pulled over and called the radio station to ask, which they happily shared and then mentioned they had a website that automatically updated with their recently played tracks.
