  • He’s (surprisingly) demonstrated a willingness to actually get some things done. I never would have thought that he would given all we were hearing about him before, but he’s not been a complete roadblock to governing, so the question is do Dems take this small concession that he’s actually willing to govern or take a chance that the Republicans put someone in there who is more hostile and prone to standoffs.

    I tend to agree, though. Politically, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for Dems to support him, or for Republicans to side with Democrats, which their base will absolutely loathe, so if he gets put on the chopping block it’s likely that no one will save him on either side.


  • I never played the games but was able to pick up enough through context clues about what each group is all about and generally what’s going on. I do have lots of questions about the specifics of each group, but I’m hoping that in future episodes (I am only a few episodes in) and seasons they flesh things out a bit more to fill in some of the more mysterious aspects of the show.

    Jeff Laubenstein is awesome and has done some great alters for me. He’s awesome to talk to at events.

    Dan Frazier will always hold a special place in my heart because I wrote to him and a bunch of other artists when I was 10 or 11 and he was the only one to write back and answer my questions.

    Victor Adame-Minguez did the art for Brutal Expulsion, which is a card that holds special significance for me.

    Howard Lyon does some really phenomenal work and he’s another person who is really great to talk to at events.

    Steve Argyle is an absolute madman when it comes to alters and sketches and he’s another really awesome dude to talk to at events. He’s so soft spoken and his artwork is so loud and I absolutely love that dichotomy.






  • I use Plex. I have different libraries set up for movies, TV shows, educational videos, home videos, and during the pandemic it was great because my kids were doing dance class remotely, so I even set up a library so they could have all their dance class videos in one spot to practice their routines. I also organize my family photos there as well, which works out great to have those and the home videos all in one place. I can even give family members access to various libraries if they want to view family photos/videos, which has been handy as well.

    Lots of people swear by jellyfin, but I’ve had so much success with Plex that I haven’t bothered to check it out. It’s probably easy enough to get a server for each up and running and see which you prefer.










  • Attacking civilians is also plain and simple terrorism

    So we’re in agreement that this is essentially two terrorist states fighting each other? And the biggest losers in all of this will be the innocent Israeli and Palestinian citizens who just want to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile Hamas and the Israeli state get to go back and forth playing the their sick game of race-to-the-bottom-of-the-morality-barrel trying to blow each other to smithereens.
