Hey Bluesky, I am excited by all the energy coalescing on this platform. It seems like a place for strategic thinking, which we badly need.

Playing mono red control today (gotta get that direct damage achievement). After I burn all their Sheoldreds, opponent resolves Virtue of Persistence, surely believing they have the win. I untap and cast Ulamog - only spell in my deck that can deal with it. Sorry

Sort it out, people of Texas
According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.
Report: Sepsis, maternal deaths surged in Texas following abortion bans
A new ProPublica analysis finds a 50 percent increase in life-threatening infections since SB8 took effect in 2021.

Is it accurate to even call Trump and Musk conservatives? Conservatives usually want to preserve institutions, no matter how crap they are. Mump wants to see them all destroyed.

Liberals Hate Socialists Because Socialists Are The Real Thing
Most liberals secretly hate socialists more than they hate rightists, because while rightists attack their political agendas, socialists attack their egos.

In an ocean of crazed outpourings, as usual its @caitoz.bsky.social who manages to cut through both sides' nonsense.
Polls say Ukrainians themselves want the war to end. If you want Ukrainians to keep dying in this war against the will of the Ukrainians themselves while you sit safe at home eating snacks and posting on the internet, you’re a monster.

Just read that when Robert Wyatt appeared on Top of the Pops in 1974 performing his hit cover of "I'm A Believer", the show's producer didn't want him to be in his wheelchair because it "was not suitable for family viewing". WTAF???

The capitalist state exists to prevent the selfish hedonism of individual corporations from murdering the golden goose that is the working class. The so-called "cost of living crisis" is simply states being too weak to stand up to the multinationals and their billionaire owners.
