Hoping that Matthew Knies isn’t only a terrific hockey player, but also someone with the sense to name his first child Barry/Barrie

I’m sitting here at a wedding in Chicago a couple bottles of rouge deep 🍷 and the only thing I can think about is, how is Pete Rose not in the Hall of Fame? So what he gambled on his team to win. So did Parlay Pinto and he’s a great dude. They’re both good dudes. I’ll hang up. -People’s

The irony of posting about Earth Day just a week after we lost a vote to save the Boundary Waters isn’t lost on me. It’s a tough loss that we’re still processing. But today, of all days, should remind us why these special places are worth fighting for.   The Boundary Waters have some of the cleanest water that you will find anywhere in this country. Endless lakes and streams filled with bass and pike and trout. Completely untouched nature and only accessible via canoe. Allowing this copper-sulfide mine in the headwaters of the BWCA will threaten all of that, but the fight isn’t over. It looks different, yes, but the mission is still fundamentally the same: These waters are the birthright of every single one of us, and it’s our job to protect them from the corporate greed of Antofagasta. Not this mine. Not this place.   This coalition of Tribal Nations, outdoorsmen, conservationists, public lands enthusiasts and just your average Minnesotans who have been lucky enough to visit this place will still fight against this mine. And anyone who is feeling defeated should look at the comments on Pete Stauber’s posts last week to get a sense of just how mad we are and how hard we are going to continue fighting. Because the Boundary Waters have such special meaning. It’s a sacred place, and we will never stop defending it. 🛶🫎🇺🇸

@kentlarson7 @SenTinaSmith @TheWildNorthTV Just watch, you bot. As if 700 jobs are the enough economic incentive to ruin the livelihood of everyone living around the BWCA and Quetico. Not gonna happen, and I’m no supporter of democrats.

•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

People act like driving 6 hours out of your way to fondle a colleague in one of the most magical places on earth at a couples themed resort is weird. To quote the man himself, that’s laughable. Sharing rooms in this economy is honestly smart. Did the room come with a bedside jacuzzi covered in rode pedals? And a voucher for the “lovers kit” in the mini bar? Yeah it did. But that was the cheapest package and honestly the least they could do for a pair of friends. We shouldn’t keep talking about this. Let’s move on. -People’s

Calling Hamilton Ontario a “great” city is rich.
DM🇨🇦@mowbraydav

@J_Swish24 I live in the Hammer. It’s a great city with a great restaurant scene. The AHL players will be in a better city than the NHL players. What the fuck is even a Long Island? Be a serious team and city
