this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

This week's guest is @manadad.bsky.social and his Only Bad Cards cube. This is all about drafting and playing with some of the absolute worst cards ever created. What is in the cube? How does it play? Why would you do this to yourself??

It seems to be hard to grasp that the social expectations of "closure" may be different for each person. My dad passed when I was 17 and it was hard enough to process without family telling me how to do it.

Take care of yourself, Andrew.

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

I have about 100 or so to give away. If you see me onsite, don’t be shy! I’m happy to chat!

I’ll mostly be waiting in line to see artists, playing commander, and maybe a draft?

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

a man in a tuxedo and bow tie is standing in front of a crowd . Alt: Orson Welles as Kane in evening dress, applauding too hard to hide his humiliation.

In honour of Melania, here's a reminder that the thing Kane is applauding in this popular gif isn't good. It's very bad! It's his wife singing poorly in an opera he paid for.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I ended up drafting the latest Lucky Paper draft-along before listening to the episode and went in a very different direction! I think it's playable but maybe not great.
