MTG should have to go give scared straight lectures at high schools about looking at your phone too much

watching your husband’s phone light up like a Christmas tree and knowing it’s President Donald J Trump

Imagine if someone a few weeks ago told you that Trump would call Marjorie Taylor Greene a “traitor” and drive her out of the House AND praise Mamdani as a guy who will do a good job as mayor. What would you have said to that?

honestly a huge round of applause to FT for finding their angle on this. saw the headline and laughed out loud

New meme format just dropped:

What a weird fuckin day

christ this is grim

I know a lot of people say liberals can’t win in Ohio because of housing costs but I think a better theory is that liberals can’t win in Ohio because they say things like THIS

The American Revolution is good, I like using it too, and they're related. But it would be insane in this moment to not eagerly embrace all the fantastic imagery and symbolism and emotional weight and historical resonance of the Union, Lincoln, Douglass, Radical Republicans, and all the rest of it.

Apart from being obviously awful you can see from the flash of anger on his face that he is feeling *completely* out of control about this situation. Reminds me of the interview he bailed on in the ESPN 30 for 30, “Who Killed the USFL,” when he was confronted on his failures by a reporter

What perfect album came out when you were 16? Teenage me was too much of an asshole to appreciate this album when it came out. But adult me knows better ❤️

Id be more upset about this if polygraph tests were even remotely accurate or reliable.

There is at least a 50% chance that whenever you see me over the next month or so, I will be singing “Vox Populi” under my breath on repeat

Way to put out that fire, sir.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

At this point Im pretty sure my villain origin story is going to be because of this Unknown Commander bs going on in our tournament reporting. Fucking stop submitting private decklists for tournaments. Thats not how deck submissions are supposed to work jfc.

not to be a dick because there’s a little truth to this, but also: all politics is about people’s well being. sometimes it’s just more visible or visceral or people who register as more important. a true rejection of politics that impacts people’s well-being is a rejection of politics altogether

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

i was here in march so i’m obviously pleased to see so many others arriving at this same space

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Billionaires don’t have spines. They just sucker up to whoever is in power.

Well, well, well...

When Democrats lose an election, we beat ourselves up over it for months. When Republicans lose an election, they convince themselves within 24 hours that they really won.

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

This Avatar set has kind of made me want to watch the show. This may shock you but I never have watched it 😅

I feel like JD Vance getting excommunicated is not off the table www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/breaking-p...

🚨 Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been sued by 11 Aspiration investors who allege Ballmer used the company (now named Catona) "to secretly funnel millions of dollars to star NBA player, Kawhi Leonard [...] paying him more than allowed by the NBA’s salary cap rules” — www.pablo.show/p/update-ste...

October has come and gone so its time to take a look at the cEDH metagame for the month! -RogThras has a strong month with 3 TWs -Overall TWs were spread out fairly evenly among the top decks. Great news on that front! 1/3 @comedianmtg.bsky.social @sculptybois.bsky.social

This might be the one that breaks me. Every federal agency reduced to banana-republic personal fiefdoms where criminal Trump allies loot the public and fire vastly more qualified people for daring to do their jobs. It’s unthinkable. It’s obscene.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Avatar fits right in with the Magic aesthetic really well. Im honestly really surprised by how normal of a set it feels like in terms of vibe.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

Food for thought, dropped by an LGS for a quick game: “I started playing Magic because of FF. Now most of my Commander decks are Magic characters.”

Finally feeling normal again. Catching up on work and other projects over the next week. Idk why when I get sick I get it like so much worse 🫠

Curtis Sliwa feels like if I asked Chat GPT to generate a legally distinct Tony Soprano character

Where exactly are the Democrats on this? There is going to be no better symbolism of Trump's utter vandalism and corruption of American government and democracy.

I really love that TMS is in a place where I can put a picture of Cam Skattebo on the thumbnail of a video and it doesn’t tank the numbers 😂

I will never get how we lost this game. Absolutely baffling 😭🫠

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Johnson doesn't think domestic violence is serious.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Im currently at that point of getting over a sinus infection where the congestion is not quite in my chest but also not quite in my head so it just sits in the back of my head in this awful liminal space 🫠

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Here is our full story that Vance is dismissing, with primary source documents showing Trump cabinet members with multiple primary-residence mortgages www.propublica.org/article/trum... www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
