oh wait, Oz hasn’t finished shitblizzarding. “the folks that we’re trying to help both in Medicaid and in the exchanges are people, who with a little bit of help, they hope they can get healthy and be able to take care of their families and move on.” move on from what, having health insurance? oh great, Dr. Shitblizzard has completely bought into Bobby Brainworms’ crackpot notion that if you’re sick, it’s your own fault — and you’re a drain on society. stop taking that Tylenol, and all your autisms will be cured — and then you can cancel your health insurance, because you’ll never need doctors again. what a shock to learn that Whalehead McChainsaw and Dr. Gobble These Diet Pills are on the same page when it comes to pushing quack theories about medicine and health. these are the lunatics running our nation’s healthcare system. what could possibly go wrong? you know who else thought the sick were a drain on society? of course you do.

spoiler alert: we are being governed over by abject, drooling morons, of which Bobby Brainworms Jr. and Dr. Ooze are only two examples.
go read my post from today, it's a good'n. thanks! link is here: bit.ly/4q09r2I

The government has long researched high school experiences. Then DOGE cut the effort The federal government has long surveyed high schoolers to help track how their academic choices may have influenced the course of their lives. The Trump administration put an end to that effort.

One of my first Commander decks I built when I moved back to Brooklyn was a Lyzolda deck that was themed around "exploding from the graveyard" with cards like Flayer of the Hatebound and Cauldron Dance. I haven't quite found a new deck that captures the same feel.

You wanna know the real sign that spider man is an absolute flop? Limited Resources, perhaps the most "company man" podcast magic has, basically did their set review eps and then the very next show they did the sunset episode saying they did not want to play or talk about this set at all.

YouTube video by Alexander Ullman Getting More out of Your Cards

Today's video is something different. Two cards from Spider-Man caught my eye and I think the discourse is doing them a disservice. Here are some cards I like:

Treasure Vault Artifact Land {T}: Add {C}. {X}{X}, {T}, Sacrifice this land: Create X Treasure tokens. Illustrated by Erol Otus

10/6 #scryfallrandom was drawn by Erol Otus, one of the true legends of modern fantasy art, who did much of the art for the original Dungeons and Dragons books as well as the GOAT game Star Control 2. His d&d art looks primitive now but it was the pebble that started the avalanche.

My full art for the borderless version of “Emptiness” from Magic The Gathering’s upcoming Lorwyn Eclipsed set. Oils on Arches oil paper.

AD: Deborah Garcia

I’ll be auctioning the original oil painting the week of October 6th.

I always get the bever nuggets

everyone is focused on the "edh players are slop hungry pigs" part of the thing that guy wrote, but I'm pretty interested in the "competitive players are fine diners who have kept this restaurant alive for generations" angle of it

ur actually the "food critic" with a blog who wants free meals

if transgender for everybody is a consequence of shutting down the government, that’s a deal i’ll have to take

One of the things I really worked on in the #MTGPauper community was stamping out this idea of "tourists" - that is people who enjoyed other formats in addition to Pauper. The term was used as an insult and a way to gatekeep. Some real "no true Scotsman" crap.

Shutdown Day Guide For LGBTQ+ People: "Continuing Resolutions" And New Anti-Trans Posts From The White House Shutdown day is here, and there has been a lot of competing coverage on Republican priorities, Democrat's demands, and what shutdown politics means for LGBTQ+ people in America.

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.

Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

Here is your shutdown guide.

Huh, I wonder what that could be.

Can't express how happy I feel seeing you teaching magic again 🥰🥰

Very, very little in this life brings me the kind of joy and inner warmth that teaching kids and new players how to play Magic the Gathering does.

Working with @magikids.bsky.social again is like coming home.

Shout out to the guy in the Trader Joe's coffee aisle having a moment of tariff sticker shock that quickly evolved into a measured but real freakout about fascism

It is time to abolish I.C.E.

"If you shut down the government we'll fire everybody" oh yeah? And what were you planning on doing if we left it open?

1. Vaccines do not cause autism.

2. Tylenol does not cause autism.

3. Autism is not a disease.

I help people with resumes if you would like I'd gladly assist.

hey besties,
i was recently let go from my job (company restructure) so i am FunEmployed. if anyone has leads on hiring in the twin cities or wants to kick a couple of bucks my way, i would really appreciate it. i'm trying to not freak, but i'm gonna be real i'm very stressed

love bugs

Since we're talking about this again, I'll say this:

Intense sexism and generally hostile commentary aimed at me during my core Pauper years gave me such bad anxiety with playing Magic that it's difficult to play in a public-facing manner these days. This was when I had strong results as well.

I'm working on it. Can I have two years.
Lol, but for real the legends in those decks are solid. Life gain is finally good enough that a mono white spider man deck would be fun.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.
