We've become so inured to being represented either by openly malevolent assholes or at best ineffectual stooges that when someone uses the government as-intended and does basic politics it's a revelation

I've been doing a lot of winning in Premodern this summer and I decided to write about the deck I've been playing and summarize the tournaments here: mrigginsmtg.substack.com/p/tinkering-...

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital
can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool
my money's on planar nexus and maybe kozilek's command. my wishlist is those, ring, ugin, karn, urza's tower, the colorless mana symbol, basic wastes and anyone who's played the tron deck in the last year.
Lost a very tight quarterfinals in @ecobaronen.bsky.social 's community cup qualifier, but that's good enough to qualify for his end-of-year championship! Very happy with my list and my play, and very happy to support an awesome content creator! Legacy is great!
For @typebarmagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about how trying to play nice with the modern concept of "fandom" is ruining the greatest card game that's ever existed www.typebarmagazine.com/the-fandom-s...

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine
Wake up, pour a cup of coffee, ignore my family, spend an hour on an unsuccessful run in Slay the Spire 2: that’s what the weekend is all about.
I just uploaded a what's-the-play video to YT! I want to work some shorter, more digestible stuff into my work, and this is where I'll start. In this video, I analyze a Thoughtseize from one of my recent challenge runs. Please check it out, and let me know if you like it! youtu.be/RTdoev5Yelk

Another 7-2 in the showcase challenge, worse breakers than last time so I ended up 19th. Frustrating that I keep losing early rounds and then going on a run after that! Anyway, deck still good, had some really good matches and I'm very happy with my play today. Matchups in replies, decklist in alt.
the mtg/linguistics/trans nerds have translated "death before detransition" into phyrexian.
Chat @jamiewvh.bsky.social and @mriggins.bsky.social definitely cooked, this was the easiest trophy I've gotten in a while. Who even is Dark Ritual I don't know her Not pictured: an 11/6 Solitude with 2 Formalwears and a Chainsaw equipped that inspired me to put BFG Edition into the stream playlist

4-3, one loss thanks to the most backbreaking Karakas I've ever had happen to me from @boshnroll.bsky.social, then two crushing losses to my removal just not showing up against UW Riddler and then clobbered by the JPA93 the SnS master himself. I liked my deck choices though, wouldn't change a thing

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once
