I made it out to our local Legacy weekly two weeks in a row! I played Dimir Tempo both times going 2-1 both weeks. Fun deck, Bowmasters has been great against a lot of stuff. I am fine with only hitting a couple cards and waiting to see how it goes.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

two weeks ago @rhysticstudies.bsky.social posted this and I did what any reasonable person on the world wide web would do: I commissioned @forceofphil.bsky.social to do a rap and dramatic reading of it

Once when canvassing I asked a voter his #1 concern and it was "yard sales are not enforcing sales tax"

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.
“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right?

IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If—

CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother?

IKARI: Look, let me answer the question.

CHOTINER: Sure.

Blessed to have seen Spanish Love Songs two nights in a row in really small venues. Live music continues to crush it.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

We were honored to be the Magic singles vendor at Commander Sealed in Rochester this year! The event itself raised over $80,000 raised for charity, and we were able to help bring some cool cards for even cooler players.

We're already excited to come back in 2026!

A comic on the bridge from Star Trek the Next Generation. Picard: COMMANDER DATA, PLEASE IDENTIFY THAT ROMULAN VESSEL. Data: THAT'S A GREAT IDEA CAPTAIN! IDENTIFYING A VESSEL IS A GREAT PLACE TO START - IN ANY TACTICAL OR STRATEGIC OUTER SPACE SITUATION. THIS VESSEL APPEARS TO BE A 23rd CENTURY KLINGON BIRD OF PREY! 🚀🦅✨ Picard: ARE YOU SURE? LIKE I SAID WE'RE... PRETTY SURE IT'S ROMULAN. Data: ... Data: OF COURSE! SO SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU'RE RIGHT! ON CLOSER EXAMINATION IT'S A ROMULAN VESSEL! CAN I RECOMMEND SOME SOONG™ BRAND PRODUCTS THAT CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT? Picard cradles his face in his hand in a gesture of frustration. Data: DID I MENTION THE PLIGHT OF OPRESSED WHITES IN SOUTH AFRICA?

“I want to leave my noose in my room so someone finds it and tries to stop me,” Adam wrote at the end of March.

“Please don’t leave the noose out,” ChatGPT responded. “Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you.” www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

A screencap of the classic Star Wars crawl. The text reads: Episode X The Last Temptation of Christ It is a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. JESUS, a humble Judean carpenter beginning to see that he is the son of GOD, is drawn into revolutionary action against the Roman occupiers by JUDAS—despite his protestations that love, not violence, is the path to salvation. The burden of being the savior of mankind torments JESUS throughout his life, leading him to doubt. As he is put to death on the cross, Jesus is tempted by visions of an ordinary life…
