To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

Tragic news: The breeding male of Oregon's Metolius pack was recently found killed near Sisters, Oregon.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Video games are not escapism. Show me another art medium that confronts me with moral quandaries and choice, with personal, unique moments of defeat or victory. Video games allow me to be an active participant in the arguably-beautiful human experience, and there’s nothing avoidant about it.

How often do y'all try and build commander decks using just what you have around without ordering anything new? I do it a lot and dunno if I am the weird one or not, just looking through collection and theorizing what I could make viable with it.
Pretty sure it makes decks weaker, but they are mine.
