Volunteers are helping the @MnPCA understand how PFAS moves through the air. Volunteers sample pine needles to detect the prevalence of these forever chemicals. Grateful for the @kare11 coverage Wednesday.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Our hearts hurt tonight. Our buddy for the past 15 years crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon. It’s painful, but we remain grateful for his loyalty and friendship all these years. You were a good boy Ollie. You were the best and we will miss you terribly.

We're seeing some improvements in air quality across much of southern MN, where the AQI category has improved from Red to Orange. This trend is expected to continue statewide tomorrow, and most of the alert-level smoke should push north back into Canada by midday Mon. #mnwx #aqi

Scam alert: People in Minnesota are getting fake msgs from a phony “Minnesota Department of Vehicle Administration DMV).” That agency doesn’t exist. DPS and DVS will never send a text asking for money. Don’t click links. Delete the message.

When you're going shopping at the farmers market, AP style says there's no apostrophe in it. It refers to the plural of farmers, rather than the possessive.

UPDATE 5/31: The air quality alert continues for much of Minnesota until 6pm Monday, except for the Arrowhead, where a strong breeze from Lake Superior has pushed the smoke inland and air quality will improve Saturday.

One of the most underrated childhood games. Some called it “pickle,” some called it “running bases,” some called it “hot box.” We called it “rundown” in my neighborhood. Whatever you called it, it was fun as hell.

Purple Rain was released closer to World War II than today. I apologize for this but I don’t want to carry the burden alone.
