I had the idea for this silly card.
Diogenes a single red for a 
3/1 legendary creature human philosopher
with
As an additional cost to cast this spell, behold a
Man. (To behold a Man, choose a permanent
with a featherless biped depicted in the art that
you control or reveal a card with a featherless
biped depicted in the art from your hand.)
You do not control Diogenes. At the beginning
of each combat flip a coin, if heads Diogenes
attacks a non-active player or planeswalker
chosen at random.

Sweetgreen guy got on LinkedIn in 2021 and started ranting about how fat people were preventing us from ending the pandemic and how our problems could be solved with “health mandates” so he is actually top of the list for people you should expect at this kind of thing

This poem by Pádraig Ó Tuama asks us to re-orient how we think about loss, memory, and closure That loss is not always final or absolute Remembering is not always a good thing, forgetting can be an act of self-care The ending of a book is the nature of stories #poetry #poemoftheday

Tonight, we are mourning the loss of one of our own after NYCHA employee, Leighton Brown, died while at Cypress Hills Houses in Brooklyn. My thoughts are with his entire family as they deal with this unimaginable loss. May he rest in peace, and may his service to our city never be forgotten.

The thing about Bo French's appalling, racist comments on that picture of the UT game: 90% of UT Austin students are Texans. Almost all of those students of color are likely from the state. Texas is really, really diverse. Much more diverse than its leadership.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

If you’re like me, immunologically, you have probably suffered a fever for one (Moderna) up to the (Pfizer) days after getting a Covid vaccine. Yesterday I tried Novavax instead, and had absolutely zero side effects (at the same time as my flu shot no less). It’s well worth a try if you haven’t.

Not just the rugged survivors, but the dark impulses that emerge when social order breaks down. Thinking of Lord of the Flies and how the schoolboys turned violent. Maybe there is a perverse fantasy of freedom from today's social order, where men can basically become beasts. A return to nature.

I assume anyone who points out how small the trans population is doesn’t know any trans people & I guess that’s what it takes to care? Because if you know even ONE trans person, like a person in your life, how can you think about that person and conclude it’s okay if they get thrown under the bus?

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a guy is being interviewed in an office. The interviewer, pointing to his computer display, asks, “can you explain this gap in your resume?” The interviewee replies, “uh…” Panel 2: out of thin air a portal emerges between the two men. Rocketing out of the portal is a time traveling dodo bird wearing futuristic gear. The dodo exclaims, “I’m back! I saved us from extinction!” A coffee cup is knocked over. Panel 3: at the edge of the desk, the dodo takes a knee, staring futilely out the window to a metropolitan city. It says, “No… NO!!” The two men observe, nonplussed.

COVlD is surging in Texas, leading to school closures and rising Emergency Room visits, disproportionately among babies. We became concerned about the possible surge 3 months ago today, and Texas was the impetus for our early-release of the PMC county-level map. pmc19.com/interactive.php
