I’m gonna stop Tweeting here and will likely delete all my past data, and I’m going to start a new secret personal twitter that doesn’t have thousands of Magic eyes on me. If you know me IRL and want to know what it is, respond to this and I’ll let you know

I don’t know how I feel overall about the phenomenon of “cancelling” creators, but I do know I’m much more willing to cancel hard right wing people who are LGBT or racial minorities. If you’re in a target group yourself, you ought to understand what you’re condoning for others.

I’m excited that new cards from War of the Spark are getting previewed soon. I’ll be continuing my series of inside R&D stories about getting to the final product. Kinda awkward that the hashtag this time is #WARStorytime

Further hypothesis: A publication or news show can't simultaneously induce anger on the right and the left. So the high-minded, politically neutral news outlet like e.g. the NYT or WaPo used to be, is a thing of the past. Now they have to pick sides. Certainly the NYT has.

Hypothesis: Maybe news has become a business (like alcohol and virtual goods) where revenue is disproportionately driven by heavy consumers (aka "whales"), and they are driving this. Maybe 5% of the population is insatiably angry. Talk radio suggests this is plausible.

Warren's candidacy is a bet that elections are about policy rather than identity. I hope she's right, and I fear she isn't. How she does among rural voters will be a key test.

I dreamed last night that I got into a fairly heated argument with Bill Rose about whether Zephid or Pearl Lake Ancient was cooler. @samstod @mtgaaron @Murk_Lurker

i think it's really fucked up that we just consider it a normal part of life for kids to grow up and realize that literally everything teachers told them about sex and drugs were lies
