Had our yearly conference last week and walked away with a good handful of ideas to implement locally.

Reminder that things haven't changed here and ICE is still here

Hm

I think if I were running a cooking competition show, I would legally require the commentator to be called Bob Pastas

I think there's also exploratory space with current banned cards, but wildly I don't think any of the 3 big ones discussed today are reasonable unbans, but at least they're poking things.

Today's commander b/r update is solid. Strong B+.

Woulda been an A by simply removing companions from working entirely instead of carving out a niche exception for one card.

There's a brass band called MOS that's been hitting for me recently.

He wasn’t wrong.

I always forget that's what K9 sounds like, lol

Seattle entering "belt to ass" mode

Starts with "mark".

Hilarious tell on the con.

Sure, sure, it was supposed to be fuckerberg. Whatever you say. 😉

No Kings includes Draft Kings

I think Gaak is a bridge too far (pun intended), but honestly Pod, DRS, and Glimpse all seem fine. Also think Jitte, Ponder, and Uro are also fine.

Would love to see consideration for Chrome Mox and/or artifact lands, but I don't see that happening.

SWEEEEEEEP

(that was such a good game)

It's an all-star in standard, but is totally fine in modern. Dies to literally everything.

I'd love a DRS unban.

You think it's even feasible that Riddler eats it?

I feel like modern is in a decent spot with a fairly diverse metagame. Like, yeah Riddler features heavily, but not nearly as much as other banlist criminals.

Wow, what a shot with that stone Dropkin. Woof.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

I got a lot of mine from locals who were offloading in FB groups and the like. Bought a loupe to check authenticity before making any purchase from non-LGS though.

Allowing hybrid starts to raise a real ship of theseus question in my mind

Democratic leadership is just scores of Franz von Papens stacked on top of each other in an ugly suit.

Every day we learn more and more about the most powerful people in the world being a rabid bunch of kid diddlers with maggots for brains, and the best this loser can come up with is "commonsense reform" for their secret pedo-protecting police?

FOH you sentient yogurt that's been left in the sun.

Boo. You suck.

How many steps is he removed from the Epstein files? Like 2 at most?

All boys high school sounds wild to me, ngl.
