I'm a man of culture, a man of passion and I would say a man of humor, which is not widely known. On the outside I appear calm and cool, perhaps even collected, but on the inside I'm guffawing away on the steamship of hilarity.

Man they are TERRIFIED that Ohio is going to flip. Look at this shit A brand new MAGA PAC has been pumping millions of advertising into Ohio to promote the Socialist candidate (who IS NOT affiliated with them) and draw voters away from Sherrod Brown We’ve been getting these ads DAILY for weeks now

Dear MtG Combo players… how do I build a combo deck? I started out building a mono blue Vehicles deck, but I have realized that my original gameplan naturally helps me draw through my deck until I get to one of these infinite combo enablers. Backup wincon is making my Vehicles big, evasive beaters

I think I can fall back to an Artifacts and +1/+1 counters strategy at the Bracket 2 level, but I’d like to give comboing a try first, at a higher power level

I think it just hit me that if/when MAGA loses the midterms, the following two months before confirmation are potentially going to be the most chaotic and dangerous months of our lifetime. Buckle up, everyone

Finally took the step to play Magic the Gathering with strangers at a commander night. Felt nervous at first but everyone was super nice. Ended up winning the first game because my Bag of Holding survived long enough to draw me SIXTEEN cards which I immediately wheeled for 48 damage apiece.

Second game I won with a vanilla precon pod, using the Hearthhull deck I picked up on a whim recently. Didn’t realize how disgusting it was 😅 Does anyone else feel a little guilty when winning with a new pod? I’m over here feeling kinda bad because I won both games but I’m probably overthinking it

So I’ve been getting in the habit lately of throwing on the local news in the morning while I drink coffee, check emails etc. Am I crazy, or has almost all local news been replaced by the vapid national shows like Today and GMA? Past 7am there is a single broadcast on a secondary CBS station

Like I’m trying not to get all conspiracy theory about it but it certainly feels like an effort from those running the networks to isolate us further from our own communities.

Our area used to have a correspondent on every station going out into the community most days to highlight local events and people and businesses. Now there’s 15 minutes of local stories, 15 minutes of weather, and the rest is national stories. I hate it

Spent a large chunk of my paternity leave building a new Magic the Gathering deck while holding the baby. Its been super engrossing building mono-red, which I’ve never touched before. Can switch between these three commanders to suit the mood and is much less creature based than my other decks BUT-

Now I have a brand new deck that I am dying to play with a full pod but can't get out of the house early enough in the evening for commander night bc baby + toddler bedtimes. So if anyone needs me I'll be over here trying not to lose my mind while piloting 4 of my own decks against each other 😅

It’s not lost on me that the CDC released this statement exclusively on the hell site, which just so happens to be owned by the loser running the country. Government websites are going to continue to be gutted to force traffic to his own website, so that’s just icing on the shit cake

In the CDC’s first public statement on the measles outbreak, it suggested vitamin A as a type of supportive care. Here's what to know:

I haven’t touched Marvel Rivals, but it is pretty entertaining watching the community go through the exact same progression of game discussion as Overwatch did a decade ago

Proud of my church. Our mission to serve our neighbor transcends politically motivated policies that seek to harm the outsiders of our society

Mennonite Church USA@mennonitesusa.bsky.social

MC USA is proud to join a multifaith coalition opposing the rescission of ICE’s sensitive locations policy. The government's decision interferes with our ability to fulfill our religious mandate and serve all our congregants with the dignity they deserve. More here: ow.ly/HRux50UXLnQ

My city has been highlighting black excellence every day on Facebook this month and the people hating in the comments all seem to loudly support the same presidential candidate on their profile, weird

The last week has felt like I’m watching a bank get robbed and the police response is to just stand at the door saying “hey this is illegal” while helping the robbers load up their vehicle

This is a backdoor. Elon's coders are creating a backdoor into the US Treasury. This is incredibly dangerous both because of its intended use (by Elon and Trump) and the risk of other actors exploiting a major security vulnerability to cause a massive disruption to the US government.

Outside of actual basketball this is a top 5 moment of NBA history, at least in my lifetime. You’re going to send out a 25 year old megastar who just took you to the Finals for FREE because… he’s not fully engaged on defense??? Have you tried literally anything else first? Coaching? Pay incentive?

Are the Mavericks planning on folding completely because I can’t think of a single other reason that they would do this trade, what is going on

ESPN@espn.com

The Dallas Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and a 2029 first-round pick in a blockbuster deal, sources told Shams Charania on Saturday night. More:

My wife works for local government of a city that relies heavily on federal grants. I’ve staved off one panic attack so far, and it’s taking everything in me to stay present. I hate it here.

I’ve been binging S1 of Severance this week and I’m watching the finale right now before I start S2 and I can’t remember the last time an episode of TV had me tensed up like this for nearly the entire runtime

I know the author of it is problematic at best, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy might be my favorite album of all time. It just hits on every level and every single track is crafted to fill the exact corner of the album’s story that it needs to.

1b is Random Access Memories for similar reasons. Smaller scope but genuinely feels like a place I can visit to center myself. I know it’s probably just because I was in my most formative years at the time but the music scene from the early ‘10s was something special.

Sitting on my couch in a post-basketball slump feeling like I just got hit by a truck but also knowing that I need to shower because it’s already 11 o’clock but also I’m not sure I can walk that far rn

It isn't there to share a perspective (it does not have a perspective), it isn't there to provide information (it's perfectly willing to lie), it's just there to occupy your time and prevent you from doing something else

The chatbot isn't admitting anything. It's like a parrot that's been trained to say "please don't kill me." It's just making noises, it isn't actually communicating with you

I’ve kept Jaylen Waddle on the bench all year, after 3 solid weeks in a row i decide to finally start him for playoffs Left the game with almost immediately 🫠 sorry buddy, that was my fault

TL;DR -BT grew up in a small farming town, he just like us fr 🥹 -Luigi was rich, he isn’t like us at all 😡 -a survey said that most people like their health insurance! I’m just going to ignore everything else, that means health insurance is good actually and you should feel bad for disagreeing

I really need to just make my own 2000s emo playlist for when I’m in the mood because without fail, whatever random playlist I search for is going to be loaded with lostprophets songs and it makes my skin crawl

If our liberal, capitalist societies were as just as they claim to be, we’d be talking about social murder by corporate executives and bought political leaders the way we do more visible homicides.
