At MagicCon Chicago, I met a reporter who brought his son to the event. While his son loved Magic, he was totally unfamiliar with the game. I met him in the press room and we had a wonderful chat. His article, in Men’s Health, came out today. I strongly urge you all to read this, especially if you’re a parent.
'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now
Call or write your Congressperson today to oppose the SAVE Act. It would require documents that many people don’t have every time you update your voter registration, would eliminate registering to vote online or by mail or in volunteer voter registration drives, and would severely reduce registration at places like the DMV/MVA. The whole point of this bill is to suppress voting from women and people of color, and to go back to the days when you had to travel to the courthouse and go through a time consuming legal process in order to register to vote.
You can find your Representative here:
Or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121.

Banging on the walls chanting "OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR ACA THRU JAN 15" like some deranged town crier. Election results aside, you have options to access healthcare as a RIGHT through the ACA. NO one can dismantle the Affordable Care Act in less than 4 years, so SIGN UP! GET YOUR CARE! USE THE SYSTEM!
You have options RIGHT NOW that will be stable thru the next year, the one after that, and I'd be shocked to see them shrink even the year after that. That means RIGHT NOW you can get signed up for next year to gain 100% covered preventative care (your annual check ups, pap smears, dental cleaning, vision check). You have the option to get checked and screened as you need, do NOT be dissuaded from exploring ACA choices. They are SOLID, LEGISLATED, and WORK BEST WHEN PEOPLE USE THEM.
I can't change most things around me, BUT I CAN tell everyone I know that THEY CAN GET LIFE SAVING CARE. THEY CAN GET PRESCRIPTIONS. THEY CAN GET PREGNANCY CARE. THEY CAN GET CANCER CARE. AND THEY WILL GET THAT CARE!!!!!!
SIGN UP BY DECEMBER 15, 2024 FOR COVERAGE TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 1, 2025. ENROLLMENT AFTER 12/15/24 WILL HAVE COVERAGE BEGINNING FEBRUARY 1, 2025.
Never walk into a cage willingly. If you're already in one: break out.
