This party is so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

GOD Democrats are fucking useless. You absolute dorks, the House is NEVER going to follow up on the vote you dweebs scheduled in December. Even if you get a win to extend subsidies in the Senate, it'll die in the House!

So when do we just say it's not Kyler? The Cards just suck. This team is just bad from top to bottom.

Playing 2003 Magic for a Trans Lifeline fundraiser goes so hard. You will never hear a single negative word from me about Lodestone Coffee and Games.

Dog wipe your mouth that's just gross

Man get Dennis Schroder away from the NBA

I love a good Schwamberger take because I know I can just ignore whatever he says lol. Love that man but my god. (Lackey is probably something resembling okay tho)

So two (grad) students in my department have submitted AI generated abstracts for conference papers to be presented to the department, and one of said papers seems to be entirely AI generated. like at what point do I just tell these students that they just don't deserve to be in the program?

And as competitive players, it's also our responsability to train so we can make good plays without spending hours on them. I'm currently thinking about ways to train to process the most complex turns faster, and I just need to be able to trust that my opponents will be held to the same standard.

This is honestly among the best reflections on time & slow play I have seen publicly.

I have never been this disappointed in Minneapolis since I moved here. Who in the fuck had this many Davis - Frey ballots? Y'all are fucking weird for that tbh. (Another reminder of Chicago supremacy for running Lori Lightfoot out of town immediately.)

ZO MY LORD THIS MAN HAS FUCKING GOT IT

BING BONG

Come on we couldn't have gotten Sliwa to like 15% for being funny? (Hell yeah Mamdani!)

FUCKIN RIP BOZO

People fundamentally misunderstand the Teen Vogue firings. This is not cowardly capitulation. It is the intentional enactment of what Condé Nast made it very clear it wanted from the jump.

If you are so honored, why did you fire the staffers and writers that made it possible in service of right wing dorks that want women to be vapid servants?

When do reporters start asking "why do you never seem to know anything about anything? Are you terminally clueless?" to this man's face?

I fundamentally do not understand how football fans can watch former Jet after former Jet rediscover being productive upon leaving the Jets and then turn around and say "[insert Jets quarterback here] sucks! We gotta draft a new one!" There ain't a new one who is saving you!

One actual tournaments start for Riftbound and we have a defined-ish metagame lmk and I will circle back to giving the game a try. But my god there are a lot of new card games the last 2 years.

If you leave the bench you should be required to throw a punch

Lmao Brianna Wu's brain finally spawned in with the force of a nuclear bomb.

I know Thraben Charm ended at least one game in infuriating fashion in my SOUL.

We've filled 30 shifts so far! Help us fill another 70 more before the end of today. Don't forget to post and tag us after you sign up! www.fatehformayor.com/gotv

THE MEDIAN VOTER IS TWELVE. THEY'RE ALL SO FUCKING DUMB MY GOD. Look, I believe in shared governance and democracy. But holy shit our brains are *cooked*

I do not get why people want idealized, perfect games. Sports are sick bc they are messy. Players make mistakes, take bad swings, get too aggro on the basepaths, miss throws, etc. Sports are beautiful because they are human. If last night's game was bad, then all sports are bad.

And I would watch every Godless moment again without hesitation.

Some days I think God does not see what happens in extra innings. Most days, though, I fear he does. Because what if the Lord sees the thirteenth inning, and He simply cannot bring Himself to care? What if there is no end to wrong games played by wrong people? What if there is no salvation?

I don't often talk about local politics (which is a failing on my part; that's where a lot of the most important work happens) but I think what has been most striking about MPLS since I got here is the dysfunction between City Council & Mayor Frey. Don't get me wrong: it's on Frey.

Dem hyperreliance on data is why the party struggles so badly. It is very obvious that the party writ large stands for nothing! Everyone (correctly) assumes that bc Dems support nothing, they will abandon you the second it is not popular anymore. It's all Robbie Mook all the way down!

Also, following polls has *definitely* been a good indicator of good policy maker. Now let me take a big swig of water while I look at the polling support for letting black people vote in 1963!

FIVE DRAWS?????????????? BROTHER. WHO IS OUT HERE PICKING UP DRAW 5 AT THE SPOTLIGHT SERIES????????

Unironically what the fuck happened to Jacobin Magazine? I used to love the mag SO much, and now it's just the most terminally unserious shit imaginable.

Hey Branko you fucking dork. What I'd Platner being canceled over? What's the tattoo? Also...you think someone with a Nazi tattoo is winning MAINE? Are y'all *stupid* or just dumb?

Sign Ryan Leaf. He can't be worse than this.

We got the least cool world series possible. Dang.

If you are going to ruin your local weeklies, may as well learn how to do it right.

... 1-8 in die rolls. 5-4.

4-4. 0-8 on die rolls.

OH AND SEVEN IN DIE ROLLS FUCK IT I WANT NINE

...I am 0-6 on die rolls today.

I pray this is the last month of Titan being the best deck. WOTC could do something extremely funny on the 10th.

I was gonna do my "Movies suck for kids nowadays because they only release blockbusters; We need more Dunston Checks In" essay, and that's a real thing I stand by, but thats just a microcosm of this: We are sucking all of the childhood away from kids and selling it back one subscription at a time.

You wonder how kids end up in the radicalization pipeline but at no point do you examine the fact that they're being robbed of every place where they could have just been a kid, a teen or whatever. Yes, parents need to be involved but it's made *infinitely* harder when everyone has to be an island.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

So we're just handing the nomination to JB? I am cool with that but more people need to realize Newsom sucks.

Frey remains an embarrassment to Minneapolis. Run his ass out of town. Do not rank that prick.

I can for sure be trusted with a Gundam.
