Here at UMN's Division of Epidemiology and Community Health we have a postdoc opening (available immediately) on our CVD epi T32!

Blown away that we can see it this close to downtown. That’s never happened!

I was in DC this weekend and there’s a tree near Truxton Circle that’s making these bonkers-sized acorns. Call the National Guard! (I brought this one back to MN.) Explanations?

Yes, yes, it absolutely is and honestly I'm offended is someone (in my same time zone) even suggests this

Also an option: Never putting it there in the first place.

I often listen to The Daily and/Post Reports on my runs. Jeepers, if you had shown me a year ago what this week’s episode line up would look like...🤯

Music on Milwaukee Avenue, Minneapolis tonight… Bikes, pedestrians, people of all ages sitting, standing, walking, talking, and being together ON a street. Streets are for people. ❤️

When you keep the streets for people. (Milwaukee Ave., Minneapolis)

For years we’ve had this problem intersection in my neighborhood. Anyway, this is the latest neighbor attempt to at least draw attention to the stop signs. Gold tassels and pinwheels.

I spend a fair amount of time in DC but most of the pics I take there have people in them and I don’t want to post those. But here’s one, from a few years ago. My son and I on our backs with our legs up the Washington Monument.

I wish I could ask me to explain myself

Watch out everyone. Vought's second sentence there is a lie the Trump Admin has been test ballooning for months. Been seeing it here and there and fear it's going to be on full blast soon.

They get this murderous look
Stirred by the deepest of heartfelt contempt
That makes me know
That in less than 5 seconds
This Nice Minnesotan
Is gonna crash out
