I'm not very good at playing magic the gathering, i'm mildly obsessed with Philadelphia sports (sometimes). I'm a Gen Xer who read the book (did you know there's a book?) and a PhD drop out. Neurodivergent, i like to converse, ask me something.
reading this thread and my god we need to have a conversation about men in 80s films i think.
Which fictional character is clearly the villain even though the story insists they’re the hero?

I hope Woody Johnson never wins another game as Jets owner.

Not a playoff game. Another regular season game.

Make sure every top draft pick he gets from here on out pulls an Eli and refuses to play for them too.

That's what he deserves.

my cynical mind says get white people injured. i know they’re there. they’re fucking everywhere but for some reason minneapolis was a focus and for a lot more attention and it’s been bugging me for a while.
But Maine is *already here* and full of vulnerable Somali refugees who have become valued members of the community and we would like them to remain so.
How do we get local news to pay attention.

it seems moving to the midwest is the only clear solution. seems to be the only time anyone cares in the media
So what do we do to break through the noise? I know there’s resistance going on, but I don’t see anything.
They’re doing it here in Maine too although we don’t get coverage.

What is “tribal” and why should you stop using the term (altogether and in MTG context)?

Let’s dive in and I’ll let you know.

I wonder how many very rich people left seattle due to this tax - what do you think gavin newsom?
Holy moly: Seattle’s millionaire tax, passed last year, is expected to bring in $115 million in its 1st year, way more than the $50 million anticipated.

The funds will go to the city’s new social housing developer publicola.com/2026/02/11/t...

(Is NY Gov Hochul paying attention?)
Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)

Vaccines are the signal triumph of 20th-century humans, maybe the best thing we’ve ever done as a species. And these guys just can’t be bothered. Too hard, helps too many poor people.

This government doesn't believe in constitutional rights
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

So they didn't like TNG huh?
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.
