thank you The New York Post for what may be the funniest image of all time

a picture from the NY Post titled " today’s leftists are possessed by the spirit of France’s 18th-century guillotine-loving revolutionaries" (way too long) that shows Mamdani (the specter haunting Europe) smiling in the sky as a bunch of French people goof around

This week I played Legacy at our local weekly, Premodern FNM, and then an Old School charity event at the local brewery today. Feasting on great Magic lately. Long live the @rochesterroyals.bsky.social our community rules.

my neighborhood 7-11 closed a couple years ago and tried to reopen but couldn’t get the permit approved because there’s a preschool next door and 7-11s sell alcohol (the previous permit was grandfathered in). i saw a fence going up around the lot recently and looked up what was moving in: a gun shop

Reading a book, seeing a word you don't understand and having to look it up, thereby allowing you to understand something that was previously opaque is sometimes called "thinking" and it's good for you. It's one of the nicer parts about being alive.

I made it out to our local Legacy weekly two weeks in a row! I played Dimir Tempo both times going 2-1 both weeks. Fun deck, Bowmasters has been great against a lot of stuff. I am fine with only hitting a couple cards and waiting to see how it goes.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
