Public servant, husband and father, author…Magic: the Gathering players may remember articles I used to write for Wizards. Love connecting w nerds.
Great stuff from Logan as always. Quick word to commenting youngsters out there pointing out how “obvious” it all is…I guarantee you will someday be listening to dorks 20 years younger than you, mock you because you fell for something spectacularly awful in the next wave of tech. Show empathy now.

A few of you have asked so: all 167 of my Commander decks and my Commander Cube are now available on Archidekt archidekt.com/u/aalongi. Feel free to follow, comment, question constructively. I’ll add more creations as appropriate. Thanks for the interest, peace!

I guess what I’m saying is: if someone wants my money - like, up to four figures of my money - I’d pay for a real app that images cards and puts them in an intuitive database organized by deck. I don’t know why no one has done this. Will take additional leads/advice but I need to image them in.
Anthony Alongi@aalongi.bsky.social · 3mo agoAfter research I settled on Delver. A frustrating experience - the UI is not intuitive and after two decks, imager stopped working. I’ve got tech emails in but meanwhile downloaded Dragonshield. Took me five minutes to regret that deeply. Really, folks?? No way to image cards and put them in lists?

Anthony Alongi@aalongi.bsky.social · 4mo agoK I’m about to pick an app to start documenting my 200+ commander decks and (maybe) the rest of my collection. After initial research I think I’m down to Delver Lab, Dragonshield, and Archidekt. Anyone want to share recs/relevant experience?

Who do I know who’s got expertise in immigration law? A dear friend’s brother was illegally detained by ICE 2d ago. The family are refugees who fled political violence 20 yrs ago, have followed legal process. He’s at a detention center in Freeborn MN adult detention center. DM me. Thanks.

Yes, friends, come to Minnesota! Just avoid @hobbesq.bolasgang.com at all costs.
Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com · 6mo agoPeople are asking what they can do to help Minnesota. Come to our state, because it’s a beautiful place. Meet our people. Support our small businesses. Take in a concert. For months, Minnesotans showed the world that we are all neighbors. As soon as you visit, you’ll understand.
Reminder that things haven't changed here and ICE is still here

If Trump pardons Chauvin, Chauvin is still doing 22.5 years for the State of Minnesota Department of Corrections. If Trump pardons Chauvin, consider it a cheap provocation, designed to give him an excuse to abuse peaceful protesters.

NY Times Pitchbot@nytpitchbot.bsky.social · last yr.Who won the Trump/Vance/Zelensky Oval Office shouting match? We asked three Russian bots in an X comment thread.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!) democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings
his name was Sam Nordquist he was a young trans man who was tortured and abused by 5 people for months until he eventually died silencing any part of this story is absolute nazi bullshit fuck the new york times and fuck anyone and everyone who is not emphatically supporting trans ppl rn
eva (^_^)/@eva.computer · last yr.hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist
My take on the brackets is that we are on a scale of 1-5 instead of 1-10. Ok. Whatever. As someone with 200+ decks to track, the new “list” is worse. I don’t have time for a banned list AND a “game changers” list that everyone can now argue about. I’ll just say I’m a 4, even if I’m a 1. Ugh.

That halftime show was clearly not for my demographic but I admire how well it was done and I got the staging and choreography just fine. Watched the whole thing with a grin. Bravo. Takes guts. And that’s what real art has always been about.
