Lurrus opens the door for sick tech and utility. Millikin is a draw spell and ramp, Codex Shredder draws + gets instants/sorceries back, Cookbook pitches fatties + gets stuff back, and Accursed Marauder can be a board wipe depending on what other recursion you can set up

It’s impossible to overstate how much “abolish ice” is the normie position now here in chicago — just countless random moms at toddler soccer on a park district field asking me where I bought my anti-ice t-shirt. average people don’t like our neighborhoods being terrorized.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

this isn’t true, but i strongly encourage the president to keep telling the country he’s going to cut off their social security and medicare

Jacob Bogage @jacobbogage.bsky.social · 19d

👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare.

www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

“We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them, and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like. And, you all know Russell Vought. He’s become very popular recently because he can trim the budget to a level that you couldn't do any other way. So they're taking a risk by having a shutdown. Because of the shutdown, we can do things medically and other ways, including benefits. We can cut large numbers of people. We don't want to do that, but we don't want fraud, waste and abuse.”

Just a reminder that these "pivotal votes" that the Democrats got in these recent special elections aren't pickups. They are pivotal seats that have been vacant for months because the Democrats who previously held them ran for office notwithstanding age and cancer diagnoses, then died in office.

Like it's bizarre to me that even in his messages to the person he'd presumably be most honest to he barely spent any time discussing why he did it and personally seemed kinda surprised he'd carved a bunch of video games memes into bullets.

Deeply weird. Also not weird at all I guess.

Kash Patel's FBI is now claiming that they caught the Charlie Kirk shooter through texts with his transgender roommate, which is odd because just yesterday the Governor of Utah was saying that his family turned him in, leading to widespread calls for Patel to resign.

"The thing about the murder of Charlie Kirk is that, in the places that are deemed to matter, he is considered a human being, and to varying degrees, the humanity of most of the rest of us is situational and subject to debate by people like Charlie Kirk."

"To a supremacist society, most of us are acceptable losses. Charlie Kirk is not. To a supremacist society, guns are allowed to kill most of us, and the pundits can debate later how sad our deaths were.

But guns were not supposed to kill Charlie Kirk."

Acceptable Losses

Whose deaths get to be deemed unacceptable in supremacist America, and whose are deemed necessary? And who does the deeming?

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
