!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, so…being a judge for MtG. What’s that like? Do you get paid for your time? Do you just get the promo cards? Asking for someone that is thinking about becoming one. :) #mtg

I’ll believe it when I see it.

NEW: A page from Bondi's burn book. This is a list of the searches by Rep Jayapal of the unredacted Epstein files. That means the DOJ grabbed her search terms from the computers they set up for members of congress to view the Epstein files to use as ammunition. The photo is from Reuters.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Gee, Universal Basic Income recoups more than it costs AND the recipients are happier and healthier. Hmmm. Where have I seen those results before? Oh yes, in every other goddam pilot study of UBI for more than a decade. Ireland joins Finland in at least making a start.

It's neat that the admin is trying to violate the Transparency Act in as many ways as possible I guess?

Nothing to see here - OR ELSE

Say fuck you to ICE and get a fuckton of games in the process! Seriously, I got the bundle and it's *48 pages* of stuff made by the bestest people 🤩 I dare you to get the bundle and not find something you like. Can't be done.

Charge them.

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

We are on the brink of like 90% literal state media

The total lack of explanation or comprehension from all sources contacted I this article is really unsettling - nobody has any idea why a major city was just suddenly grounded - with lethal force authorized against any aircraft that didn’t get the memo. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

This is why primarying people matters. Suddenly everybody involved in this race is in a firm spine contest.

Bravo Ireland. This is such a great boost for artists. I have an Artists tax exemption in Ireland for works under 50k. It helped me so much - existence in a feast or famine career is hard. But consecutive Irish governments realized that writers, musicians, artists are the lifeblood of the country.

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist. Cool. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

This is the pitching process.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social I’ve never been a religious person (leaning more humanist than anything). I’ve been listening to your Separation of Church and Hate book, and I think it’s a pretty profound look at the hypocrisy of the religious right in the US. Thanks for doing this work!

4) LEFT IN THE COLD -- OR WITHOUT I.D.: With increasing frequency, ICE detainees who win release say they're being let out 1000s of miles from home — and without belongings, like ID, wallets and warm clothes for MN weather Judges are ordering "humane treatment." www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

ICE hasn’t stopped their bullshit.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

I'm at the bad part again.

Once again, we are being far too lenient with DHS. Fascists move faster than legal and electoral systems can keep up. While voting and litigation are vital, they are not enough to stave off a rapid, deliberate authoritarian effort.

New painting! "Midsummer Procession", 33"x 21", Oil on Linen.

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.

My creator-owned project has really taken up way more of my brain space than intended. I need to make changes to my life to make it the main thing for a while, because its really distracting me from my other gigs right now. Just gotta figure out the how of it.

here's where they think the scam will work- generate hundred books in popular genre, then create a bundle for buying them cheap. 150 Romantasy Novels about Dragons or something, for only $10 that's where they're hoping to fool people. "Omg what a deal! in bulk too!" Already seen in the TTRPG space

We took the dog for a walk out on a frozen lake today, am I officially a Minnesotan now?

Y'all make our work for this SO FUCKING WORTH IT and keep raising the bar because now we have the beat $600k next year.😅 Thank y'all from the bottom of our hearts❤️

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

It's baffling this isn't discussed more.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney. Superb, deeply reported story, via @charpentier.bsky.social

I am once again encouraging you all to apply for the grant that changed my life!

Donald Trump Jr, who has exactly zero experience or competence in manufacturing or defense, has received more than $600,000,000 in contracts from Pete Hegseth's "Department of War."

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

Among (lots of) other things, this is going to flood the federal courts of appeals with cases in which the BIA might previously have cleaned up the IJ's messes. When something like this happened in 2004, the circuit courts ... did not respond favorably to the government's positions in those cases.

This is fantastic!

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

Magic: The Gathering in Miniature III at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social has officially sold 2/3rds of the show 222 out of 333 Artist Proofs It's something I never even fathomed possible, and I can't thank you all enough for the support Available APs: www.gallerynucleus.com/events/1113?...

Does anyone need a flatter? My old guy is looking for work. He’s very good… I don’t know if he’s on bluesky.

So, hey…reporters…make sure when you write about what this administration *says* they’re going to do that you note that they have a massive history of LYING. It will make 2026 a little easier if y’all just start establishing the fact that they are not to be trusted. Ever.

Where’s those “States Rights” Republicans now? All 50 states need to come up with a strategy to deal with this.

I've seen a post or two floating around about an open position in Game Design over at @magic.wizards.com and am here to confirm... it's true! Play Design is hiring! If you think you've got the chops, here's a link to the job itself: careers.hasbro.com/careers/job/... #WOTCstaff

Okay, question for you experienced writers… You ever feel like you’re not clever enough to get your protagonist to overcome their problems in a satisfying way? I have my ending sorted, but there’s a couple of obstacles before we get there that are big and confusing my brain.

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
