This is genuinely insane, I clicked to see the years expecting the low part to be 70s or maybe 90s but its 2015!!!!! The entire anti trans panic is a decade old

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone.

Trans rights are human rights.

When we gather together, we can make Magic.

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Alt:
A sliding scale of ICE politics, L to R (literally & figuratively)

1) Moulton, AOC: TRIBUNALS
2) Most of the GWB White House - ABOLISH
3) Fox News - DEFUND (strongly)
4) Catholic Church - DEFUND (less strongly)
5) Schumer/Jeffries - between DEFUND & BETTER REGULATION
6) Trump: EXPAND ICE

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

I’ve had a lot of fun with a Yuna deck that only uses Final Fantasy cards inspired by an edhrec article. It’s solidly a bracket 2, and a neat enchantress style deck that doesn’t get to use many of the staples.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

I’ve been tracking my Commander games over 2025, inspired by an #edhrec video. Finished this weekend at 224 games played, which beat my goal of 200+. It was a fun experience, but now I gotta build a spreadsheet to track all the data.. 😅

WAY TO GO, ANTIVAXXERS!

MTG's Felony National Youth Trans Ban Passes House; 3 Dems Vote For It, 4 GOP Vote Against It The bill is not expected to pass the Senate, but marks the first time a national trans youth care ban has passed a chamber of Congress.

Millennials are killing the AI industry (celebratory)

Henry Cuellar will retake key spending post after Trump pardon The Texas Democrat faced some opposition inside the House Appropriations Committee.

(Reposting my critique of this outcome bc my prior post contained unintentional errors.) The House Dems are giving the ranking member gavel for an Appropriations subcommittee back to Henry Cuellar, after Trump pardoned him. Politics has an accountability crisis.

Part 1: My Life Is a Lie How a Broken Benchmark Quietly Broke America

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

too real lol

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

My survey also errored out, in the middle of it, but it felt really badly written for a survey.

I stopped taking the survey around this question:

I have different feelings about WotC than Hasbro. Why combine the two?

I like Spider-Man. I built a deck for the new set for commander. I bought some boosters, but I still didn’t like the set overall. And it’s certainly not an influencers fault. This survey feels weighted and poorly written, and seems like they are trying to blame anyone else for the failure of this

This feels like a loaded survey. On the “how many booster boxes have you bought?” Section, you can only answer with 1 or more, not 0.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Seems like every community I'm a part of is in deep leadership crisis mode, and I can't help but feel that the broader political environment is putting earth core-degree pressure on every organizational fault line right now

I'm so glad you said this, because about 30 seconds ago, I published a newsletter piece detailing how conservatives have dump-trucked through all of the previously established common sense, nuanced, compromise positions on trans rights to get here: burns-notice.ghost.io/what-would-t...

You cannot trust the federal government Everything they say should be assumed to be a lie.

Kash Patel’s FBI has been steadily purged of those not loyal to Trump — competent professionals, that is. So how are we to believe the agency isn’t selectively releasing evidence that supports a narrative of left-wing violence?

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Put 38+ lands in your Commander decks.

You'll mulligan less (or better).
You'll play more real games.
You'll win more.
You'll have more fun or at the very least be less frustrated.

I’ve started trying to redirect my energy when faced with the urge to doomscroll recently. I’ve picked up a few books, starting with the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson, and when I’ve felt the urge to be stress I read a chapter instead. I can’t control much, but it’s a start.
