@SamuelHBlack "But the thing is, even if it is just for bangers, everybody's doing it. If everybody's doing it, there's a lot of guys doing it. A lot of guys doing it - but only one guy can be the best."

Liberally blocking for “cEDH is bad” replies that don’t untag me when I said I don’t need to hear it

@JimmyMcNulty410 The market is pretty tiny and there's not a lot of sales. Best I can do is $3500.

I collect things and I can’t actually believe somebody would want to buy this. Guess there really is a market for everybody.

@Selene406 @micah_erfan There are two clear paths to his presidency that do not require an election.

@micah_erfan Dude just lost his chances of being President

JD Vance: “He is protected by absolute immunity.” If ICE agents have “absolute immunity” that means they can never be prosecuted for anything done on the job. That's about as Orwellian as it gets.

@TheZvi Does the President of Venezuela not count as a portion of Venezuela? Like a pretty damn important "portion"?

Did the United States "invade" Venezuela? How should the Polymarket market on this question have resolved given its wording (wording in thread)?

@cjwynes @TheZvi Seal team 6 absolutely "controls" your home if they clear it, secure it, and extract the target they came for. A burglar and an elite military unit are not the same.

@TheZvi A burglar doesn’t establish control over your living room when he breaks in to steal your TV, so no/no. FWIW, for most legal contexts “control” requires future-looking intention to use or direct.

@GrihmFayte @RossKneeDeep He is a Who fan.

Absolutely 💯

@DiedSuddenly_ Oh boy all the morons are gonna eat this up and definitely not be complete irrational about it.

Finally. The Food and Drug Administration is investigating whether COVID vaccines are linked to deaths of adults, stating that children have died as a result of the shots in a recent probe. “FDA is doing a thorough investigation, across multiple age groups, of deaths potentially related to coronavirus vaccines,” said Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services.”

Congratulations, @SethManfield! Our World Champion for 2025!

@Dafore3 If everyone is "reading", one player will gain a huge benefit from "forcing". If too many people "force" the readers will win.

You guys romanticize the idea of "staying open" in draft, like forcing a deck is this evil thing that ruins the purity of the format. But that’s just an emotion-driven take. In some formats, forcing is simply the superior strategy and that’s okay... 1/2

@natesolon @SaffronOlive Sultai Reanimator takes over the format.

@SaffronOlive So, which UR deck is the best deck in Standard now?

@SmokeyouScreens @SaffronOlive Nothing. Its fine.

@SaffronOlive So what does the cauldron break next?

Let Randy Play! youtu.be/-JOcKjOGZVs

@SaffronOlive Maybe a Recurring Nightmare (pre-ban, pre-whale errata) deck or Jon's Tinker deck.

Trying to put together a bracket of the 16 best Standard decks of all time. Here's where I'm at currently. What as I missing? What should be cut?

@SaffronOlive @k_of_the_i The deck was never Type 2 legal. The type 2 version of it was more like Donais 5cu but with Disks.

@k_of_the_i I had The Deck on the list at first, but I'm not 100% sure it was ever technically a Standard deck (formats were weird back then).

@Sierkovitz Bring back Apprentice.

I don’t know if people are ready for the truth.

@DailyTechpulse @LeadingReport Its literally the first amendment you fucking Communist.

@LeadingReport They have grown comfortable calling the shots, not following them. Pentagon sets standards, news outlets think they are above… this is entitlement on full display. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News refuse to sign Pentagon press access rules.

@NanneySam1 @LeadingReport So you want to live in Russia? What the fuck is wrong with you?

@LeadingReport The news should only get the information provided to them. The general public does not need to know everything about every operation, just provide the news media with the results, if pertinent. I could go on but I won’t.

@CedricAPhillips Joe is GOATed. He's just going a victory lap at this point.

This trade is absolutely baffling. Joe Flacco was horrific last season in IND and horrific this season in CLE, mostly because he's 40 years old and can't move anymore (watching him try to navigate a collapsing pocket is pure comedy). Flacco now leaves CLE, a team that has a mid offensive line, to go to CIN, a team that has a horrific one where he will have less time to operate. I get Jake Browning has been a horror show thus far, but this being CIN's answer to the problem is laughable. At least Flacco isn't facing a tough opponent that's coming off their bye...

If Kai wins again, I'll eat my hat. youtu.be/HZ-kSJgZ-90

@TolarianCollege Thanks for sharing. Cathy is a pleasure to work with and we are honored to be the ones to broadcast her story. She is an important part if Magic history, and doesn't deserve to be the butt of a joke.

The video is an uncomfortable watch, but an important one nonetheless. Hearing Cathy tell the story of what happened to her is an important part of Magic: The Gathering's history, one that needs to be known about and acknowledged: youtu.be/-WVnrKRsuqI?si… #MagicTheGathering
