I've been waiting for #minnesotawild #openingnight for weeks now. #hockey is the perfect antidote to the emotional rollercoaster of the #worldonfire.

@Free_Press Is this like a draft call up. I don't understand the summons terminology.

After a super grind fest of a third period Schiefele breaks the log jam with a excellent top of a Morrissey shot from the point. JETS:3 KINGS:2 #NHLJets #hnom

Pope Leo’s secret letter to U.S. bishops just leaked. TrumpWorld is not going to like what it says.

This week in Rome, Pope Leo XIV quietly handed a letter to a group of visiting U.S. bishops.

Inside were messages from migrants families separated by deportations, children afraid to sleep and […]

Barron again a short handed hero as he breaks up the play and gets it to Schiefele for the tying goal in the second period. JETS:2 KINGS:2 #NHLJets #hnom

I think Luke Schenn was picking somebodies chicklets up off the ice. #hnom #NHLJets

#NHLJets strike first on a much more organized power play from the Jets. Iafalo strikes in close. JETS:1 KINGS:0 #hnom

:Jets: I'll also be watching Morrissey this morning. He looked flat out bad in the first game which is uncharacteristic to say the least. I'm hoping it's just a little rust. #hnom #NHLJets

:Jets: A matinee game for the #NHLJets today against the Kings. I'm looking to see more cohesiveness from the second and third line. Defensive zone play really needs to tighten up as well. I want Parker Ford and Cole Koepke reunited on the fourth line. There was some chemistry, not sure why they […]

You ever think to yourself “but I am just one person, what can I do to make a difference?”

It turns out that “wear an inflatable frog costume and go downtown” is actually a really reasonable answer.

I'd love to hear from people coming here recently from #bluesky re their complaints about the other place and what their thoughts on the experience here are.

Was it more about Singal or Kirk or Link or other stuff? Thanks.

💯 It also helps protect their identity from the armed thugs.
Hoping this turns into a huge movement.

Dressing up in a frog costume has to be the brightest stroke of genius I've seen to combat fascism on the ground. When you're dressed in black with a gas mask on, and shouting angry slogans, the perception is you're an enemy combatant thus making the use of force more palpable. When you use […]

Dear fedi devs, I don't have time or expertise but if someone could develop an NHL scores bot you would definitely gain some street cred with me. #hnom 🙏

SO close for #NHLJets. Massive comeback but still one short, going down 5-4.

Not the season opener we wanted, but 81 games left. #NHL #DALvsWPG #GoJetsGo

I am sick of reading articles and have to get to the 3rd of 4th paragraph before it starts on the intent of the article. Remember the good ole days when the author addressed the basics in the first paragraph or so.

I can tell when AI has been used because the first half of the article is now a […]
