Nooth

@RussoHockey Think the Strips did ok this series. Which doesn't happen often. Wasn't a fan of the First make up call after Big Mac took a stick to the face and the disallowed goal is just a dumb rule. His hand was on his stick should be a goal whatever.

This is probably why Hartman was so upset with the officials after this goal

@MSPAthletics Krill for Jack

Sports fans on Facebook are something…

@denversportsfan 🤝

To all #mnwild fans: Congrats. Now that we are rid of that awful stain on the league, we can focus on a terrific series between two elite teams with great fan bases. #GoAvsGo

@DallasStars Show Ben right before this sounding out the names.

Game 6 starters 😤

@ibamboozIe Full meltdown this brings me joy!

PLAYERS I NEVER WANNA SEE WEAR GREEN AGAIN - Jamie Benn - Tyler Myers - Roope Hintz - Thomas Harley - Jake Oettinger - Sam Steel

@DLLS_Stars You need to get Ryan Suter back to cross check, he was better than Ben. Peter DeBoer was slightly better at teaching a good dive.

Final Tallies of the season, after a disappointing first round exit for the Stars. What roster moves would you like to see in the off-season?

@RobertTiffin Sneaky good play like a cross check to the head. You can think about it all summer. Enjoy your time off

Good look on the broadcast of McCarron holding Heiskanen's stick behind the net to let the puck keep going before the goal. Clever play.

@RussoHockey Rantanen dived so hard he got hurt 😂😂

Foligno throwing his weight around, blows up Lindell then Rantanen clips skates with Foligno and hits the deck after Foligno's stick comes up high. Refs blew it dead on Wild full possession because they thought he was hurt. He did just leave the bench

@JoeSmithNHL Sturm earned it last game he played.

In other #mnwild lineup news, Brink will come out, and Sturm comes in. Sturm will center the two Folignos

@DallasSp0rtsFan @frank_seravalli @NHLPlayerSafety Never would have got cut if have a helmet visor. Fake ass tough guy.

@frank_seravalli @NHLPlayerSafety Yeah, if Jamie didn't punish Hartman, the refs would've never noticed the cut on his nose to give a 4 minute penalty.

#TexasHockey Jamie Benn was fined $2604.17 - the maximum allowable under the CBA - by @NHLPlayerSafety for his cross-check to the head of #mnwild Ryan Hartman in Game 5.

@NHLPlayerSafety So his teammates will need to pick up the check at the restaurant tonight. Got it

Dallas’ Jamie Benn has been fined $2,604.17, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for cross-checking Minnesota’s Ryan Hartman.

@MnDreamin_3 Hartman will get at least a game for getting his head in the way of Benn's stick.

“I’m Jamie Benn. I’m a tough guy I don’t wear a visor. Oh but when someone hits my own stick into my face I act like a bitch and cross check them in the neck.” Can’t believe he finally admitted to being a bitch

@ProducerDrew_ His second one this series

Jamie Benn with the nasty retaliatory cross check to Hartman’s head. Pretty sure Auston Matthews was suspended for this EXACT thing 🤷

A livid John Hynes just staring down Gord Dwyer as the period ends.

@scottmelker LIES LIES. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PETRODOLLAR. SAME AS IRAQ AND VENEZUELA.

Everyone has biases, even the people who insist they don’t. I admit mine openly. I’m skeptical of politicians on both sides, skeptical of institutions, and skeptical of neatly packaged narratives that arrive fully formed the moment a war begins. That does not mean I can’t be objective. In fact, I try very hard to do exactly that – listen carefully, compare what I’m being told to observable reality, and adjust if the facts prove me wrong. I’m always happy to be proven wrong. Since this war began, I’ve been accused endlessly of having “TDS” because I have questioned the motives, messaging, and stated goals. Fine. Here is how I see it, based on the information we actually have, not the emotional narratives people seem desperate to force onto everyone else. At the start, we were told this was about stopping an imminent nuclear threat, crushing an evil regime, ending its ability to fund terror, and in some versions, even helping save the Iranian people. Those are massive claims. They also happen to be the kinds of claims governments have historically used to sell wars to the public, which is exactly why skepticism is not only reasonable, but necessary. But lets take those at face value and look at the information we have today. If this were truly a humanitarian mission, then threatening to bomb civilian infrastructure and effectively collapse a civilization would completely contradict that premise. Yes, that would hurt the regime. It would also devastate ordinary people far more profoundly. You cannot credibly claim to be saving a population while openly discussing actions that would immiserate that same population. If this were truly about regime change, that case also looks weak based on the facts on the ground. We are now hearing that negotiations are happening with the same regime structure, reportedly through the Ayatollah’s son. There has been no clear public indication in the reported terms that regime replacement is a non-negotiable demand. If the same power structure remains in place, then either regime change was never the real objective, or the goalposts moved the moment reality got in the way. Then there is the nuclear issue, which is where the skepticism becomes even more obvious. We have heard for decades that Iran is “weeks away” from a nuclear weapon. We were told not long ago that their capabilities had been destroyed. Now we are again being told that the threat is immediate and urgent. Maybe it is. I’m open to that possibility. But if today’s claim is true, then many previous claims were exaggerated, false, or at minimum deeply misleading. That should not make people less skeptical. It should make them more skeptical. And even now, the reported ceasefire and negotiation terms appear murky and inconsistent. Some reports suggest Iran could retain some enrichment capability. Some reports contradict others. Iranian news cannot be trusted at face value, and frankly neither can the instant spin coming from politicians or war cheerleaders here. We know very little with certainty, and pretending otherwise is dishonest. What we do seem to know is that the Strait of Hormuz has become central to the negotiations. Think about what that means. At the beginning, the strait was open. The public case for war was not presented as being about oil. Now the strait is effectively the key pressure point, Iran still appears to retain leverage over it, and reopening it is treated as a core objective. That matters. Because if the war began with one stated rationale and is now being negotiated around maritime access and energy flow, then people are justified in asking whether oil was always a bigger part of the story than they were told. Especially when you then hear rhetoric about “keeping the oil” or controlling the outcome in ways that sound far more strategic and economic than humanitarian. From what we are seeing publicly, the main objective is now to open a Strait that was always open until the war began. So my position is simple: I do not claim perfect knowledge. I fully admit I could be wrong. I admit my own bias toward distrusting official narratives. But when I look at what we were told, then look at the facts as they currently appear, I do not see a clean moral story or a successful, clearly defined mission. I see shifting justifications, unclear objectives, contradictory reporting, and outcomes that do not seem to match the original sales pitch. That is not “TDS.” That is applying the same skepticism to war propaganda that people claim to value in every other context. You do not have to agree with me. But at minimum, don’t ask me to suspend pattern recognition, ignore moving goalposts, and pretend that changing narratives are proof of honesty instead of the exact opposite.

@Timcast Tim you get hacked? This you?

DUDE what if it turns out it was TRUMP the whole time with Epstein and Democrats had NOTHING to do with it

@RussoHockey Gus looked nervous from the start

Stars have 1.85 expected goals, according to Money Puck. They've given up 5

@Nebraskangooner I honestly believe it's the news cycle, the insanity of the world, and the ongoing wars that are weighing on so many of us. It's always helpful to put ourselves in other people's shoes and remember how fortunate we truly are. Be well Gooner. Touch some grass and stop scrolling X.

For some reason I'm struggling mentally recently. Usually I can control my thoughts and generally be happy and enjoy things. Lately I'm just in a rut. I haven't been enjoying working out. I haven't wanted to do anything during the day or even find enjoyable things to do. I just want to do nothing. Daily tasks seem like they drag on forever and my brain wants nothing to do with them. I don't even know why I'm posting this. Maybe saying it out loud will help me snap out of it. Sometimes your brain just hits a wall and you feel like there's no way out of it; even though you know there is. You know what I mean?

@adam3us Hey Satoshi

i'm not satoshi, but I was early in laser focus on the positive societal implications of cryptography, online privacy and electronic cash, hence my ~1992 onwards active interest in applied research on ecash, privacy tech on cypherpunks list which led to hashcash and other ideas.

@gainzy222 THIS! 💯 I come on here everyday to see AI videos of fake missile attacks. Honesty SUCKS ASS!

No matter how much they work on the X algo, it will never be as good as it was We see a bunch of one-off “bangers” by random accounts the algo picks up because of traction from the first 2k views There is no relationship, you don’t like or know anyone
