Pretty sure that someone in Anoka is seeing the aurora and insisting that it's Minneapolis burning "again".

For all my low-latitude friends!
If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.
Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

@democrats.senate.gov you fucking weak, sniveling cowards. How DARE you do this to the American public. You're never going to grow spines, are you? The deaths of every American who can't get health care is on your heads.

This video has existed for 12 years and we should probably understand how our system actually works before we catastrophize.

Congrats to every Republican who warned about the massively dangerous pro-terrorist “I Hate America” rallies who now gets to see their words featured in a Daily Show montage with images of sweet little grandmothers waving little American flags

Beyond the costumes at No Kings, Democratic leadership may want to check the signs to understand the vibe of their base right now (hint: it’s not health care)

Somewhat of a surprise tonight.
The aurora is cooking up something strong and she's about to blow!
If you are anywhere north and outside of the Twin Cities and can get to a suitable spot, it'd be worth staying up.

Today is a good day to remind people that #MelissaHortman & her husband were assassinated 2 months ago in their home by someone impersonating a police officer. Rep John Hoffman & his wife were also shot & severely injured by the same man who was religious zealot, right wing politically & antivaxxer

Today's professional frustration: A local news anchor, on a story about the return of Redbox dvd rentals, makes the comment that Hey! perhaps public libraries should carry DVD's!

Just back from the neighborhood block party in the burnt out shell of a dystopian nightmare city known as #Minneapolis.
The brats were tasty, the homemade sides and desserts divine, and babies are not very good at playing cornhole but they do keep trying, so they're the real winners.
