Isn't making it possible for people to get their own insurance the purpose of the Affordable Care Act in the first place?
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Which of these is better?
I'm tempted to think Reassembling, because the cost for the ability is less mana intensive over time?

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is which mother fuckers we're gonna fight"

From @jespermyrfors.bsky.social, The Dark set art director over on Facebook:

“The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians…”

Ok, legit question: Why does Fluros of Myra's Marvels have an acorn?

I've never seen Mirror Strike before, but now I want a dozen of them. What a fun and surprising card.

Still...when all said and done....seriously...try cubing if you want to make a custom experience with Magic with select cards. I think that will be better then this.

looking at the #TMNT spoilers and here's my ideas for cards to speculate on going up in value because they care about Mutants:

Been working on incorporating this one-shot adventure into my wild beyond the witchlight campaign, think I got it where I want it complete with a battle with a young froghemoth instead of the dryads and hag the adventure wanted characters to fight. #DnD #wildbeyondthewitchlight

Repost for visibility if you think a Universes Within Masters set is something WotC should consider!
What's most frustrating is WotC pulling the plug on the UB - to - UW pipeline. A lot of the UB cards are really cool game pieces people would love to play if the flavor wasn't so dissonant. Like, I think if they had "Universes Within Masters" product featuring UB reskins it would be a home run!
