Hit 10K in BGs for the first time since I started playing again in a very satisfying AFK game.

Big boy.

Not streaming much this week so I can keep an eye on Ellie and make sure I give her meds on time. She's fortunately making that easy this morning.

This is super bad for US citizens, especially on the left of the spectrum. Gives this authoritarian administration potentially the power to surveil & go after US citizens on spurious "funding of FTO" grounds. This whole antifa boogeyman is being fully weaponized. So dangerous.
My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:

Move cites NSPM-7, saying four European Antifa groups espoused "anti-Christianity," "anti-capitalism," and "anti-Americanism"

In case you missed it yesterday. This was a hilarious game!

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

I can put up with specious nonsense trance lyrics, but I just heard a song that opened with "I'm going to take you on a journey...beyond the stars...to Jupiter" and I had to turn it off because Jupiter is in fact beyond zero stars get out of here with that shit.

Shared my thoughts on some of the current conversations in Magic Commander, most notably the proposed change to the Hybrid Mana rules

Wild.

Vivi was a foregone conclusion.

Nemesis is a nice way to tone down fast red decks since it allows you to actually block against them or use damage based removal - Gruul was basically solo'd by it 100% of the time.

Proft's was sneakily maybe the best card in U/R.

Major shake-up to Standard

When the Conservative Party in Korea declared martial law, the Korean Democrats knew if they didn’t send them to hell there would be no opposition afterwards. And look at them. They’re taking the ex conservative president and ensuring he never breathes free ever again.

Why stop at 50 year mortgages? Give me 100 year mortgages. 10,000 year mortgages. Let me be imprisoned by interest payments like Illidan Stormrage to save 100$ a month so billionaires can become trillionaires and no one else can ever own anything again

I hope Black Temple at least has central air.

I understand that established IPs are a safe way to appeal to fans but I really feel like the scriptwriters need to find some new material besides "T1 barely qualifies and then Faker wins worlds"

mamdani is gonna implement shandalar law. if you want to add new cards to your deck, you have to wander the map and look for random wizard duels
Mamdani gonna implement Shaaloani law. All disputes settled via shootout duels using non-lethal rounds with all the authenticity of a spaghetti western directed by Japanese anime enthusiasts.

(This is a timely Final Fantasy XIV reference)
Mamdani is going to implement Shannara law. Everything will be extremely derivative of Tolkien and predictable.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

Woke up at 4:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. Ellie came to sit with me on the couch while I watch the new Witcher season.

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict

But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat

And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.
BBC Radio 4 this morning joined Trump in describing Zohran Mamdani as a "radical leftist".
