I *am* a constitutional scholar and you are correct.
I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

The most disappointing piece of Commander Brackets feedback that we keep receiving is one portion of players insisting another portion doesn't exist or shouldn't be served by the system.

I assure you. There are players at every one of the existing brackets that have and deserve our attention.

One of the comments I have seen about brackets is “Who makes a deck worse than a precon?”

Which is funny, because most players probably do, even when they’re not trying to do that.

Building Magic decks is hard and most people are bad at it. Precons these days are good.

So we're at 92k subs over on YouTube. How cool would it be if we could get to 100k subs by the time we get to Magic Con Las Vegas? Tell your friends to subscribe and maybe we'll have to do some cool giveaways for folks once we get there...

one thing i've learned in my years is that for information on foreign countries, read your country's newspapers. for information on your own country, read anyone else's. journalists are a lot better at reporting stuff that isn't beholden to their bosses or government

The Bracket image leaves a lot of the nuance (from the article) about player intent out of the conversation. I, with input from the available members of the CFP, reworked the image to include it.

Ask yourself, "What is the intent of this deck? What kind of experience am I looking for?"

I've been really enjoying reading/watching/listening everything on brackets since yesterday! Good stuff.

Overall the response has been far more positive than negative, and there have been lots of good suggestions! I do have one thing I think would be helpful to say...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
