Starting to worry about whether I can stop being sick in time for MagicCon. Wish me luck

just out of curiosity has nbc or anyone else major done a “hey a bunch of transsexuals living in terror who could not even afford to flee texas have finally exhaled after years of holding their breath and are now wondering if only for a moment if their homeland might not destroy them” piece or nah

“I didn’t think Atlanta’s hand could reach this far.” For conservative voters who moved across the country to escape blue states, recent Democratic victories in Texas and Georgia have shattered their sense of a political safe haven.

If you’re an elder millennial, your first major election was either 2000 or 2004, aka stolen election and “war crimes don’t prevent reelection.” I went into fucking mourning black in 2004 because I was so devastated no one fucking cared. Bonkers to me that anyone would expect us to trust the GOP.

I'm 41, and for my entire life Republicans have been calling me a traitor for not being one of them. At every possible chance, they have locked Democrats out of power and refused to make ANY compromises. Every piece of Democratic legislation passed in my lifetime did so with ZERO Republican votes.

wow that was fast

The Thinkler did it. He actually fixed things. Everything is blue now.

I have not heard enough Democrats talking about how the first thing they'll do is shut down America's concentration camps, and it's really starting to give me anxiety.

This has to be our main thrust now. If we cannot protect our most vulnerable and attacked minority, we cannot protect anyone.

huge gap in my timeline between the trans people watching draconian anti trans laws pass in Washington and Colorado and all the liberals confidently assuring themselves that everything is good and normal again

Trans rights. Fuck yeah.

The new Senator from Minnesota. The new Representative from Indiana. We don’t have to scapegoat people to win!

when good people pass, you ask yourself, "how can I be like them? how can I be good?"

So does anyone know anything about this star wars card game I've forgotten more about star wars than most people will ever know, and i feel like i should play something else in addition to magic

it feels truly insane that it’s not

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I am very fucking mad at a wide variety of things that are happening right now. But I did just complete my Phyrexian foil showcase collection. Take what comfort you can in little joys.

Every single day, it becomes more important to say it: It’s okay to not be okay right now

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Happy None Pizza, Left Beef Day to all who celebrate. The infamous order came on this day in 2007.

In the nine years I've been freelancing with Wizards, almost every creative I've worked with has left for the exact reasons laid out by the Union here. Make sure to sign and support the people who make the game you love.

Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

Happy Columbo Day to those who celebrate

It really feels like it should be easier to defeat some of these people

OOPS GOP ad buyer mixes up Portlands, spends money meant to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins in Oregon The PAC boosting Collins is "absolutely furious" at the "ridiculous error" made by the buyer, which takes blame and has refunded the money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Any single individual having this amount of influence in our elections does not lead to a healthy democracy. It doesn’t matter if they are supporting Democrats or Republicans. We need a serious effort at campaign finance reform and have to overturn the Citizens United decision.

There are two types of people

it's so crazy how if any survivor wants to speak freely we have to use a cacophony of euphemisms but the man who hurt us can not only speak freely but monetize it

❗Attention, union supporters ❗ We're asking Wizards and Hasbro to voluntarily recognize our union—and you can help! Sign our petition today and show our leadership that you want change in the gaming industry. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...
