So Here’s The Thing. News Stations Love To Sensationalize The Orange Man For Money. If You Weren’t

So here’s the thing. News stations love to sensationalize the orange man for money. If you weren’t politically aware during his first term I have a few tips to help your wellbeing till 2025:

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

Chill. Its not gonna be fun, but there are ways you can take care of your own well being to keep from spiraling.

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.

Maro, as a straight white old guy who’s been playing since The Dark, I wanted to thank you and everyone else making Magic for the diversity and inclusion on the cards. Characters like Ral, Nissa, Nico, Daretti, and others mean a great deal to other players (and for me they are just great characters), please continue to show everyone how much variety the multiverse has room for.

We have no plans to change that. Some of us still recognize that diversity, equality, and inclusion are good and valuable things.

An favorite- efficient, relevant creature types, strong flavor text, and awesome art.

Nielsen's comfort with alt-right groups is such a deep disappointment because the art is so fantastic. Excommunication is and was necessary.

I have an enormous amount of ... Rage and frustration over the entire job search and career coach process I'm in the midst of after being laid off with a third child due in about ten days time.

Can someone just please validate that resumes, cover letters, building a personal fucking brand, polishing your LinkedIn ass dimensions and whatever other shit they ask is fucking performative peacocking to try and convince an algorithm and some rando whose preferences I don't actually know that I can do a task I am 100% capable of doing but I have to hope someone's dipwad familial connection hasn't already been promised the role and the job listing is not purely for legal reasons?

Like please tell me I'm mostly right and even if I'm not 100% correct, agree that the entire system sucks and my feelings ARE 100% understandable. Can anyone jump on that train for me?
