i just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. so the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.

Graham Platner: “I refuse to believe there is some metric of hard work that says the people I know in Hancock County that work 3-4 jobs to keep a roof over their head, that somehow Elon Musk or Peter Thiel or Jeff Bezos worked so much harder than them that they deserve to be a billionaire and these people deserve to live in poverty”

You mean you're the regressive nativist who died pointlessly and forgotten while the diverse immigrant peoples he deeply resented flourished and turned New York City into the center of the world?

Because that's what happened to Bill the Butcher in the film.

“How many generals have you fired?”

Hegseth: "I don't know the number"

“Oo You dont know the number?It's eight. Why did you fire them?”

Hegseth: "At the pleasure of the president..."

“Stop You can just tell me Why and you probably learned what 'why' means.”

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you.

If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment.

Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

This man is proposing to do with the sum total of published human knowledge what capitalism does with everything: steal it and then build enclosures around it for profit.

I’m a gamer so there’s a deep well of homophobic slurs buried within me and while I would never touch the forbidden verses, sometimes I descend into the moss-covered subterranean caves of memory and gaze upon its horrific, terrible power (vod of me playing counterstrike, age 13)

@totalwar Will you please being back actually settlement/castle building? The 4 building tech tree region system is so restrictive and boring and linear

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $834 billion that he's worth today. He'd still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.

I know a format where
> a 3/3 bear token is a top tier threat
> fading is the most complicated mechanic
> fetches only get basics
> only 7 creatures with unconditional etb draw
> most decks so bad they lose to themselves half the time

sometimes people get angry when I "destroy" magic cards with stamps
I am reminded of paul desilva's reasoning why old school players sign cards at events

The ‘99 Spurs were ripping Starcraft LAN parties in the hotel before destroying your favorite team LOL

[Luis Scott-Vargas @lsv]

@SaffronOlive I think a lot of the responses are pretty unreasonable. Clearly if this rule didn’t exist they wouldn’t have made Ragavan or Thalia or whatever exactly as-is, and giving some amount of cards the “unique” tag solves that. I think your suggestion sounds pretty good.

The shielding of game design motivated by profits by saying it’s what we want specifically when it sells well is such a denigrating handwashing of guilt and is terrible stewardship

[Saffron Olive @SaffronOlive]

I think it's true that Garfield's original vision was that players wouldn't know everything, his original vision was also cards wouldn't cost more than $20 and players would spend like $40 total on the game and I never hear WOTC talking about that, so... https://t.co/lq2nDoPeTD
