If only Ronnie Van Zant knew how prophetic he was when he wrote this song. Especially the line, “I can see the concrete slowly creeping’ / Lord, take me and mind before that comes.”

Faber making a full recovery is the most important thing. I sure hope he can come back from this and be an elite player still. It’d be a shame to see someone with that talent have their career end.
I know this is super speculative, and I don’t usually like doing that. #mnwild

“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.

ASU and its hockey program are a complete joke!
Arizona State hockey workout review assigns no blame. Lawyer calls it ‘mind-boggling’ (Gift Article)
The lawyer for the family of Matthew Mayich, who remains on life support, called the school’s report "more advocacy than fact-finding."

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?
