•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States.
🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.
•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.
•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks.
•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. on.nrdc.org/4csRkwi

Hey @MLB this new instant challenge:
Annoying. Over-engineered. Kills rhythm. Messes with the art of the game.
Too far MLB. You’re killing the spirit of the game.

[Fourth-Wall Break]
I want to sit down with you all and seriously address something that happened today: I posted a piece of sponsored content and the backlash was overwhelmingly severe and extreme. I lost hundreds of followers and my replies and DMs were filled with accusations of being a “sellout,” a “grifter,” a “scammer,” and a “Jew.”
I want to introduce myself and my case a little bit. I have worked on this project for several years, and each and every week I put 20-30 hours of work into this project. I make almost nothing - from X revenue sharing, I can usually expect less than $100/month, and from Patreon, another $75. I’m really passionate about this project and I want to continue it as a hobby while balancing my real job and my real life, but that’s difficult when I’m bringing in almost nothing from it, so that’s why I decided to run ads.
Many creators on YouTube thank their sponsors. They spend many minutes of video time doing so. Many Instagram posts are devoted wholly to sponsored content. But when a post of mine on X featured sponsored content, many of you felt that was intolerable and lashed out in extreme ways.
A concern some of you expressed in DMs was that posting sponsored content is a “slippery slope” that inevitably leads to “selling the account” or “making every post sponsored.” I want to reassure you all that this account is my life’s passion and I will continue doing it until the day I die. But I have to make a living as well. I have run sponsored content in the past; I am running sponsored content in the present. I am not sure why that act merits anger, if it’s only one post a day and it’s one reply that you can disregard easily.
I make sure that the companies with whom I partner are ethical, and are doing it for the right reasons. I will never ever push a scam, crypto product, or meme coin on you. And today’s sponsor was none of those things, as much as many of you aggressively claimed that it was.
Anyway, I welcome your feedback.

This was @rookisaacman taking off yesterday, notice that while moving slowly the large ramp intakes are closed, it's taking in air through slats on the top. Only once moving fast does the ramp open up, and while you can't see it here, the ramp will partially close down to control airflow for supersonic flight.

Who has right of way at a roundabout next to a semi? Spoiler: it’s the semi. WI Stat. 346.18(8) requires you to yield to vehicles over 40 ft or 10 ft wide when entering at the same time. Read more: wisconsindot.gov/Pages/about-wi…
