Spicy MTG take of the day: Premodern is just another attention getter. It caters to Magic boomers, and is super niche. Sell into the hype and don’t worry about it otherwise.

I have priced all my leftover LOTR stuff to move. I don’t want to be stuck when Hobbit comes out in 2026.
There is the chance that all the old stuff gets pricey with the new stuff comes out but I’m at great profits already.

With all the other things going on, this feels minor, but all of this:
1) Dogs should have won the SL Sellout
2) SpongeBob will sell out in more than 4 hours next week, they likely printed a ton
3) If I could outlaw using lettuce/cabbage as an under layer for other things, I would do so.

There’s a whole lot of crappy stuff going on in the world, and much to be angry about.
Wizards getting the SpongeBob memes right helps me feel a *touch* better about the state of the universe.

I feel qualified to give this PSA: that storm dragon is a bad card and when you compare it to 30+ years of dragons it is not in the top 150.

The Commander tiers seem fine for what they are: organization at huge events and tournaments.
If you don’t play at either of those, you can ignore game changers and tiers.

🧵 I’ve decided to run against Nancy Pelosi to represent San Francisco in Congress. I know some of you might be surprised that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi is running again, but she is — for her 21st term! We need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Wait…is that….Democrats fighting even a little dirty?!
New York lawmakers are considering a change to the state's special elections law that would keep Rep. Elise Stefanik's House seat open for months, a move backed by Hakeem Jeffries as a way to deny Republicans’ already bare-bones House majority of a crucial vote.
Jeffries Works With N.Y. Democrats to Weaken G.O.P. Control of the House
New York lawmakers may give Gov. Kathy Hochul more time to schedule special elections, a move backed by the House Democratic leader that could keep a key seat vacant for months.

The FIAB goes on sale in four hours. Worth buying, shouldn’t sell out too fast.

My first year as a science teacher (I’d done 2 yrs as English and 3 as a sub) I had two kids and a wife and we were on WIC because the cost of living was so high and 1st-year in my new district was so low.
