Elminster described Volo as "impetuous" but an "engaging rogue" & "irrepressible, nay, pompous and pretentious". He claimed he was disgusted by Volo's "base flattery" & said he was given to "exaggeration, misrepresentation, and flights of fancy." #dnd#forgottenrealms#Realmslore
Rep. Jamie Raskin: "I'm sorry, Dr. Fauci, that MAGA Republicans want to drag your name through the mud. They're treating you like a convicted felon. Actually, you probably wish they were treating you like a convicted felon since they treat convicted felons with love and admiration."
Considered to be the most gregarious of dragons, brass dragons famously, or infamously, loved to talk and would engage friends and foes alike in hours of long-winded conversation. #dnd#forgottenrealms#Realmslore
A wand of wonder was an unpredictable magical wand that produced a random effect each time it was used. Such as summoning a swarm of butterflies. #dnd#forgottenrealms#Realmslore
😂 “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) moved to force a vote on ousting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Wednesday, a momentous move that is all but certain to fail amid opposition from conservative Republicans and Democrats.”

@randahl it’s a deep red district. Without seriously money for ad’s it’s s probably not going to happen. But, who knows, some time ago a deep red district turned out to be blue 😀 #election2024#mtg#moscowmarjorie
This sounds like a joke, but I promise you it is real:
The reason why Congress has not yet agreed on aid to Ukraine and Israel is, Marjorie Taylor Greene is flooding the house floor with fantasy amendments, including:
Requiring members of Congress to sign up for fighting in Ukraine
Requiring Ukraine to “close all bio-laboratories” (A conspiracy theory created by Vladimir Putin)
Introducing “space lasers” to protect the US border
Obviously, none of these amendments will be adopted.
Alex Finley looks at the revelation that the Russians have been paying a wide network of European politicians to spout pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine rhetoric and asks if this can be happening in the US, too. He concludes:
"It is naïve to think the same pattern does not exist in the United States, given the ample evidence of coordinated pro-Russian talking points from several Republican politicians."
@wdlindsy I always attributed #MTG parroting #pootie to stupidity. Like how not very smart kids parrot their not very smart parents, friends or other morons. When questioned, they stare blankly bc they don't have a basis for their beliefs. But, it gives #JordanKlepper great material.

It's been a while since I did an MtG card.
Ghost-Lit Nourisher has always been one of my favourite MtG artworks. The eerie atmosphere is just impeccable and I hope the animation does the original piece justice. :)
I kid you not: Marjorie Taylor Greene has released a video on YouTube, where she says, “If I had it my way, we would have been successful in our [sic] objection on January 6, and [Joe Biden] wouldn’t even be president.”
That is the same woman, who claimed the violence on January 6 was started by federal agents disguised as insurrectionists. And now, she says, if “WE would have been successful… on January 6”.
