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.
i hope this come with a life time of free motor oil

so the reason i thought it was called #twelvemonths was because of the promise made in #battlegrounds but we got nothing. and the wardens thing was a little heavy handed. and no nickel head crime lord. come on now.

The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them

I want people to really understand and grapple with how bad it is for victims and all of us to live in a system where sexual violence is not punished, but victims are punished more for coming forward. I need people to see it for what it is so that we can actually do something about it

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

if the tech cmo-panies are cooperating they should all burn to the ground
We're at the full-blown "thought police" stage of dystopia, and look here at the new concentration camps.
“DHS is expanding its efforts to identify Americans who oppose ICE by sending tech companies legal requests for the names, email addresses, telephone numbers and other identifying data behind social media accounts that track or criticize the agency”

organic certification is a bitch
I'm a butcher, and we get surprise audits all the f'ing time. And I simply work at a meat department at a Whole Foods.
“The Department of Homeland Security has formally instituted a new requirement that members of Congress and their staff provide a week of notice before they visit immigration detention facilities, a policy that is at odds with a federal law that allows lawmakers to make unannounced oversight trips.“

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.”)
