The Enemy Creatures of the #MTGJRPG!
For some creatures, the built-in graphics were close enough to use recolored, but in most cases, we needed new art!

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

The name Leitbur was invented, so the people of Leitbur could be called the Leitburites (aka "Lite Brites").

I know they’d never do it but if I were in charge of such decisions we’d be going back to homelands/fallen empires like we did with Brothers War and then print a dozen fucking cracked in half standard & EDH staples so everyone can learn about the thallids & ebon praetor

Just watched The Blues Brothers for the first time, it was pretty good!
For a movie from 1980, and apparently based on an SNL skit, I expected it to have aged really badly, but no, not really!
Also, damn, they harmed a LOT of cars in the making of this movie 😂
