To those who are anti-transgender, Chiitan isn't asking you to understand transgender people.
I ask that you quietly watch over us.

In other words “Pam Bondi confirms that not only is Trump on the List, but that he features so prominently they couldn’t figure out how to doctor it”
Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review.
Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

I realized why his signoff makes my skin crawl every time I see it. I think he thinks it's a memo to his employees. (His employees being us, the American people.)

In all the endless coverage of #ZohranMamdani ‘s win, it strikes me that the multiple sexual assault allegations against #AndrewCuomo are never mentioned.
Are we just at the point now where we assume SA doesn’t affect a politician’s career? That just maybe New Yorkers don’t want Mayor SexPest?

It’s like the MAGA people don’t think this precedent can come back around on them when Democrats take office again.
Either they are blissful idiots, or they know there’s nothing to worry about.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

It’s a failure of modern TV that no one has tried to reboot Quincy M.E.
It’s the perfect intersection of what seem to be the most popular network dramas: police procedural meets medical procedural. It’s House SVU

Normally someone pissing on Reagan’s legacy is fine by me but …
As someone who lived through Reagan the idea that a Republican president is now handing the US over to a KGB agent is stunning.
The Cold War is over. The KGB won. Donald Trump signed the papers of surrender.

You should assume that all of your opponents, including and especially your femme/non-binary opponents, know how to play their decks unless they *explicitly* tell you otherwise.
This is especially relevant at conventions, but it also applies at your LGS.

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy.
The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

Hey, #mtg #magicthegathering
I played a lot starting with 4th Ed/Ice Age up through 2K or so.
I’d like to start up again, but with all the formats I’m not sure where to start.
Is Standard the closest to the era of MTG? Is that still the best for 1-1 casual play? Start with a Foundations Starter?
