“Trump says he will officially rename artificial intelligence ‘super intelligence’ in an executive order.” I’m glad that the President is laser-focused on the important issues. Elect a clown, expect a circus.

I’m not going to be able to make the home opener for the Wild on Saturday. It’s just one seat, lower bowl behind the Wild’s net in the 1st and 3rd periods. Right on the aisle. #mnwild #NHLBruins seatgeek.com/e/events/182...

I wish the #mnwild would trade Hughes at this point. The guy is just jerking the organization around. I’m sick of the drama.

It’s gonna be a LONG season for the Packers. Maybe (hopefully) the team will realize that Jordan Love isn’t the guy… 🤞

For the first time ever, I’m just not excited about the @minnesotawild season. Which is a major bummer considering I bought partial season tickets. Anyone interested in a single seat in the lower bowl behind the Wild net 2x?

At least they’re starting to admit the risk. This is a lot like the development of nuclear weapons. We can do it, but should we? Not saying that a bad outcome is the only possible outcome, but humanity needs to move more carefully with this technology.

Has anyone else sensed this feeling of “collective exhaustion” out in the world right now? It couldn’t be related to rising inflation, the worsening economy, the war with Iran, and the never-ending barrage of absolute foolishness coming from Washington, could it?

My prediction for the #mnwild now is that they do resign Hughes for 3 years at just under $20M per season but aren’t able to get Larkin (or another top C).

I’ve seen a ton of posts lately about people struggling to land a job, and it made me curious about what’s happening. Even though official unemployment looks normal, hiring momentum has completely stalled. Fewer people are actively looking for jobs due to the difficulties of getting hired.

“What if Quinn Hughes doesn’t extend in Minnesota?!” Then he doesn’t extend in Minnesota… it’s not the end of the world. It’s entertainment. As much as I want to see the Wild do well and win, whatever happens doesn’t materially change my life.

I’m not an economist and don’t pretend to be one. But how can companies keep raising prices? Wages aren’t increasing, at least not at the same pace. Something has to give eventually, right?

Johnny Cash was such a badass. A true American hero and man of the people. Playing this song at the White House in front of Nixon about how young people didn’t feel heard at the time.

Yzerman essentially booted out of power in Detroit. Pure speculation , but is ownership frustrated with how he handled Larkin or is it more about the fact that the “Yzerplan” didn’t work? Could be a bit of both…

I hope Guerin isn’t still pursuing Larkin. Detroit doesn’t want what the Wild have to offer. Move on, Billy! See what else is out there.

Seeing people defend a billionaire NHL owner indulging himself by including his children on the Stanley Cup is embarrassing. Zero respect for tradition and the sacred nature of the Cup. Yes, I’m still going on about this 😂

Luke Affolter @laffolter.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

The owner of the Hurricanes having his family’s names engraved on the Cup is completely unacceptable. It goes against tradition and the @nhl needs to correct this and stop it from happening in the future.
