Trans folks, I know the world feels dead set against you right now, but you are all the shining lights of creation, and your lives are pathfinders to the future. I won't give you platitudes of everything being ok, but I promise that you are loved, wanted, and needed just as you are.

Counterpoint: DON’T work for her and help her to fund this garbage in the first place. Fuck Nick Frost’s limp-wristed opinion and idiotic position, and fuck this publication for such a feckless and worthless take.

Even when it's a white journalist- Even when there's footage of it happening- Even when someone in that footage says what just happened- News outlets still can't bring themselves to say that "a cop shot someone".

I've known a bunch of folks in the national guard over the years, and to a person, they joined up to help their homes during times of national disaster and other emergencies, and not to shoot people. What Hegseth and Trump are doing is disgraceful. (and illegal and fucked up etc)

Corporations be like "here are our Core Values" but the only Core Values I want to see from any company are these: 1: To protect the world from devastation 2: To unite all peoples within our nation 3: To denounce the evils of truth and love 4: To extend our reach to the stars above

Rehabilitation for musk should be a nonstarter for virtually every American. Dude pillaged our government to the point that it will not recover in my life, if ever. He has set humanity back centuries. He wants to be liked? Let him try again in his next life, after begging for forgiveness in this one

TCGPlayer, who recently was acquired by Ebay, decided to engage in union busting tactics by laying off 300 employees. Cancelling my subscription and ordering through Card Kingdom that is unionized.

Maybe they can call it a Bi-transit Unique Service or B.U.S. for short.

Exactly, if you're bringing it up it should be to note that he wants to take away resources from people struggling with it after he benefited from recovery

It took three @scryfall.com team members, with breaks, about SEVEN (7) hours to enter all of the new FIC/FIN/FCA cards into the website. Just for transparency on the effort behind preview season. It was over 350 cards today, alone. This does not include time spent fixing typos or bulk tagging.

I have to study Gen AI and LLMs for my job, and that shit just lies to you ALL the time. There are efficiencies you can get from it, but I'm also concerned that a lot of people don't understand ChatGPT, Claude, etc are conversation platforms first to simulate conversation, rather than a tool.

I have a thesis that a large majority of new players approach any game like this, especially if they have to spend money. So why wouldn’t you expect everyone to be optimizing their commander deck when the standard behavior is min maxing literally every game you play?

It's honestly kind of insane that WotC went with the decision to make UB sets standard legal without the ability to get the licenses to use those IPs in digital games, to the point that they have to do a full creative redesign - including new art - just for Arena and MTGO.

I’m going to pull my teeth out if the left tears itself apart over whether Pete or AOC would be a better candidate while Trump dismantles every single check on his power. Let’s have the debate while deep down adoring both of them as insanely smart, principled politicians that we are lucky to have.

Man whoever mentioned The Residence yesterday has my thanks. That show is fucking delightful, as if Wes Anderson made Knives Out. The acting is so fun and the plotting is lively. And yes, give me a Black lady Holmes. I am totally hooked.

I hate to be the one to point this out, but I have no clue how any major international entertainment convention is going to be successful. The current state of travel opens noncitzens, regardless of enfrancisement, to indefinite detention if you get flagged for anything.

The most disappointing piece of Commander Brackets feedback that we keep receiving is one portion of players insisting another portion doesn't exist or shouldn't be served by the system. I assure you. There are players at every one of the existing brackets that have and deserve our attention.

I'm sorry for raining on this parade, but the "transgender mice" talking point is bullshit, but not because someone mistook "transgenic" for "transgender." The blog post that kicked it off (from a partisan bullshit website) listed a number of papers testing the effects of sex hormones on animals.

My main observation about the reaction to the bracket system thus far is that people who want to be mad about the brackets (and really any change) have found reasons to be mad about them, and people that aren't looking to be mad seem to be pretty happy with how they're working.

A set with these prices being Standard legal may just destroy all the very good work WotC has recently done to revitalize the format.

I’ve been pretty happy with my move to Bluesky, but honestly kinda disappointed with the app itself since I joined. Am I missing something or do we still not have drafts, bookmarks, polls, etc? I kinda expected these Twitter features to be rolled out pretty fast after the spike in users
