More and more I think we need term limits for senators and representatives. We have to free that branch from fear and let them speak their conscience. Why they don't exist is a quirk of circumstance, not design. I'd start with same rules as president (2 terms).

Current government: "we hate immigrants! Get out of our country!"
Also current government: "we love immigrating to Greenland! Let us into your country!"

The podcast I didn't know I wanted. These characters are great in no small part because of the incomparable Jim Henson company. #mtglorwyn #squenandcragg

Confession time: I don't care about the Avatar movies. It's the runny oats of cinema IMHO. I feel like I must be missing something but each time a movie comes out, I can almost taste it. Runny oats. Made with water.

Merry Spicemas! Light the fireplace, get in your comfy pants, grab your hot cocoa (or drink of choice) and get ready for 4 hours of thought-provoking enjoyment.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

Here's a #scryfalltip for the civic-minded among you:
@scryfall.com really benefits from high-quality scans submitted by normal people, just like you! In fact, they maintain a list of cards for which such scans are still needed; just search for:

What's the worst thing that can happen if we just indiscriminately took everyone Epstein talked with and just removed them from power? It wouldn't be that bad at all I think. I'd argue it'd be worse NOT to do that.. 🤔

Got to signal boost to my few non-bot followers. @josephmschultz.bsky.social's video is brilliant in its truth and measured discussion. God I *so* wish more discussions were like this. 👏

For the record: I'm 100% for the hybrid mana change in commander. If it sucks, they can go back. Just like they should go back to allowing Jeweled Lotus in Commander #unbanlotusyoucowards

this video has a lot of amazing stuff, including more 8th edition test prints (the ones i like) than i've ever seen in one place, but these legions test prints are what really stood out to me. i wasn't aware that the test fetches even existed in the wild.

Talking about 2028 is dangerously naive; the danger is now. Trump is directing the military and justice department to go to "war" on US cities and his enemies, from TV hosts to former FBI directors. Keeping the 2026 midterms fair may be the last stand. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Race to Save America’s Democracy
Trump’s administration may seem chaotic, but Americans should not take the integrity of next year’s elections for granted.

I'm not sure we talk enough about how the enjoyment of magic as a game is influenced by our knowledge of making magic as a craft and how they share that with us. @maro254.bsky.social is a legend.
Today's #MakingMagic column is this year's "State of Design" column where I walk through the design of last year's sets:

Where has Magic gone in the past year, how did fans react to it, and what does it spell for the future? It is time for the latest State of Design article!

Just saw this movie last night on HBO Max. If you're into seeing cinema that looks like nothing you've seen before, I'd checked this out.

If one keeps taking food from artists' mouths, we will never see anything new ever again. This one is especially egregious for its pettiness. It was so easy to do the right way and pay the artist for the alter. 😔
Picked this deck box up from @ultimateguard.bsky.social and I was so excited until I flipped it over. Looks like my art was extended with ai.
@magic.wizards.com needs to make sure their partners don’t do this.
I would have happily extended this for a couple hundred $$. Instead it looks awful!

PBS taught me to speak English when I came to this country as a kid. That's a big deal when one is trying to be part of one's new home. I'm the American I am now because of it.
The thing about PBS is that LeVar Burton was to me what MrBeast is to kids today.

I know we all play a game about dueling wizards, but wizards are real. Don't believe me? Search @scryfall.com for "art:jeans" and see unreleased spider-man cards in the results. How are they already tagged with such an obscure tag?!? Black sorcery, that's how! #mtg #scryfall #sorcery

One of the *best* pieces of MTG media. And it came from the community. You must see this.
Four explorers venture into a derelict Spacecraft. But what threats await them on board, and will they escape with their life totals?
