Biden is the most progressive president since FDR. He wasn't when he was running in 2020, but is sure as hell is now. In fact, he went from a milquetoast "not-trump" candidate to a bonafide, effective progressive.
This post lists a ton of his accomplishments, but I do want to call out again his recent medical debt can't be added to credit reports change. This is a massive step forward to controlling medical insurance, which is overwhelming so many of us.
Still my favorite card.

I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he’s like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it’s what cinema needs more of
Do not engage with news media after 8pm. Nothing you learn then will help you before the next morning. You’ll just go to bed anxious and mad
You’re gonna see the worst possible people nominated to head diff parts of the govt. Understand that’s the point, to set everything in favor of corps, internalize that feeling and remember it for the next election, and move on. Dwelling on it only serves to hurt yourself
Learn to sit in uncertainty. Last term the orange man would tweet policy and expect it to manifest. This led to people never knowing if he was talking big game or passing legislation, so people did not know how the government was going to act. Chill. We don’t know what will happen.
Curate your social media experience, do not follow algorithms. Algorithms need you hooked and its easier to keep you hooked if you’re miserable. Be purposeful when you engage with political content, don’t do it on a whim
You are not responsible for the ailings of the world. Don’t put that on yourself. And don’t put it on yourself to keep up with every single wrongdoing about to happen. There will be far too many for one person to keep up with, you’ll exhaust yourself and make yourself miserable
When you discuss set complexity, what do you mean? I prefer a set with lots of mechanics being used in unique ways or in ways not seen the first time around, but I don't like complex/wordy effects.
There are three basic types of complexity:
Card complexity - Can you read the card and understand what it does?
Board complexity - How hard is it to understand what's happening on the battlefield, how the individual cards interact with one another?
Strategic complexity - Do you understand how to best play the card?
You dislike card complexity, but seem to enjoy some amount of board complexity (and I'm guessing strategic complexity).
On a separate axis, there are numerous mental skills that Magic cards can tap into and some are probably easier for you than others. For example, maybe you're poor with memory tasks, but good at picturing hypotheticals (aka future board states).
This card is still sweet, and was an absolute rockstar of my playgroup for a long time. I still believe this is right on the power line of blue's color pie. It doesn't DO anything, but topping/ indexing gets less valuable the more you do it., and offers the five mana shuffle as a reset.
Love this card.
The vizier’s wisdom proved invaluable in untangling the Mercadian knot of lies.

An excellent sentiment.
Admittedly, I will have to watch carefully with a few of my own family members to be sure I don't fall into this.
