Middle eastern spiced tofu cutlet w/ muhammara, tomato, onion, and lightly dressed greens on a toasted bolillo roll. More greens on the side. #roanokeeats

Pistons fans got the double gut punch today having to watch that LeBron no call get rightfully overturned into a foul.

Pancakes w/ strawberry-basil compote, fresh strawberries, and maple syrup #roanokeeats

Today, someone wanted to know why the DPRK (and China) is allied with Russia considering Putin's anti-communist position. And I totally understand why they'd wanna know that. Yes, Russia isn’t a socialist state, but it hates America (which is rabidly anti-communist).

“The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honored and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage laborers.” - Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto, 1848

6-3 for Top 64. Deck is strong and close to where I want it but there's still a few wrinkles to iron out. Mini-report going up tonight in my Discord (which is accessible to all paid Patrons). Deck Guide for Esper Bunni going up asap for middle tier Patrons and above. UR guide coming later this week.

"All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake 'public opinion' for the benefit of the bourgeoisie. This is a fact. No one will ever be able to refute it." - Lenin

Too many people won't learn this lesson because they are trapped in an abusive relationship with the "lesser" evil. They believe they can fix it, but they're actually enabling it.

I feel bad that the winner of the Nuggets/Clippers series will come out of this dogfight and have to play the Thunder.

For the Americans who don't understand the difference between Socialism and Social Democracy, let me explain a bit. Socialism is the dismantling of capitalism. When the working class seize the means of production from the capitalist ruling class.

Roasted garlic + tomato risotto w/ beyond Italian sausage. Finish w/ grated parm and fresh basil and pair w/ the wine that went into the risotto. #roanokeeats

Ended the week on a high note, beating up on 4 red decks of all stripes and 1 Orzhov Bounce deck to get a trophy with Jeskai Cutter. The Warden-Bunni-Shelter core is great against red, but the deck struggles against control. I'll keep working on it next week. List in Alt Text

Warden of the Inner Sky was getting jealous of all the attention I'm paying to Cori-Steel Cutter, so I'm going to see if they can get along since I have plenty of love to go around. twitch.tv/ross_merriam

When people tell you they got rich through hard work, ask them 'whose'?

Got a would be 5-0 if not for MTGO interrupting a match I was up a game in and in a great position in game 2 so the deck is coming together! Going to try Kaito and Drowner on Thursday to see if that's enough early creatures for the walker. Article on Cori-Steel Cutter hitting the Patreon tomorrow!

MTGO is back up so it's cuttin' time! twitch.tv/ross_merriam

MTGO is currently down so today's stream will be delayed.

If you're going to make it all up you should at least try and make it believable.

If it’s a gofundme it is almost sure to be legitimate. The platform requires an insane amount of verification for any Palestinian fundraiser. But I’d also recommend not worrying about it and choosing to recklessly help people. The worst case is some scammer gets a tenner while others are helped

This is MTG Rants

Tried this and Mono-Red with Cutter today to good, but not great, results. Of the two I think Mono-Red is clearly better (Boltwave and Slickshot are very weak) but I'll be working on some 3-color shells starting Sunday!

Jumping on the Cori-Steel Cutter bandwagon, starting with my take on Izzet Prowess! twitch.tv/ross_merriam

The narrative, mostly from western, esp. white American liberals, that the US "only just" became authoritarian and fascist, this year, is both insulting and offensive to the Natives and Black folks who have suffered brutal genocide, enslavement, segregation, and oppression in the US for centuries.
