I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Not only should we do worlds decks, but they should be black border. It would do wonders for getting people into the game to get something resembling a competitive precon into players' hands after Worlds.

Says I can't message you, I'll send an email later instead

@rebell.bsky.social can I DM you about a collaboration effort with @yoman5.bsky.social ?

new rule: when a CEO, representative, or public figure treats "IQ" like it's a measure of biological fact on par with taking one's blood pressure, they are to be laughed out of the room and taunted relentlessly for being gullible weirdo losers who spiritually never left high school.

Magic's greatest competitive spectacle is almost upon us at Worlds 31 approaches. Here are a few reasons why you should watch.

There's many reasons to watch Worlds this year but I thought if I gave you 20 or so you'd be more likely to tune in and take in the joy of Magic's highest echelons of competition. Also if Javier Dominguez actually wins Worlds for a third time I'm pretty sure someone is legally obligated to eat a hat.

Who You Should Watch At this Year's MTG World Championship

Why should you be watching #MTGWorlds starting this Friday?

If seeing the best of the best of this year fight for top honors wasn't enough, take a closer look at the stories and players to watch from @pastrytime.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=20_a...

We all just like this card because of it's competitive applications, right?

... Right?

We thought we were searching for ramosian Sergeant but instead we found ourselves

Lin sivvi, definitely cis

Trying to suss out why MTG has such a density of trans women named rebel and then I realized we all must've come of age when mercadian masques dropped...

tidebinder on their t3 ouroboroid can be big game on it's own of course

Badger enables such explosive turn 3s that I have to mulligan in such a way that I'm prepared

Yes, but I'd also keep a hand that was land x 3, elf x 2, tidebinder + beastbinder even though it doesn't have a "big" game because it at least would give me some avenues to establish my own game plan sooner

In the simic mirror, if I'm on the draw and I have land x 3, elf, elf, jackal, ourobouroid, it's getting shipped. I think that's a good example because it seems like it's on-plan, but it loses outright to opponent going elf-badger-ourobouroid.

Got a kofi link?

I’m encountering more and more older people who have worked in creative fields in Britain for decades who gently take my hand and tell me to run, get out, do not work here if you can help it sweet child, fly away from this place and don’t look back

I could speak for the slave. John Brown could fight for the slave. I could live for the slave. John Brown could die for him."

Izzet looting really seems to be the only archetype consistently putting up results regardless of the meta. I wonder what makes that deck so resilient? Seems like it'll only get better with the release of steam vents.

Additional advice from within the machine- click youtube videos from creatives you like and sit and watch them from beginning to end.

As an editor I'm never told to try to maximize likes and comments, but I AM trying to maximize retention (and thumbnail designers are trying to maximize CTR)

Philosophy professor Rick Roderick:

"Don’t work for eight years. Stop working. And if really bad things happen to you, you were in the working class... You were a worker and didn’t know it."

nice of arena to give me the same title as autumn burchett

On the upside, I get to fast-forward through most of a psych assessment by just saying "I was raised by two cops, one a step-parent"

The dr will usually nod and spend 30-45 seconds checking off a dozen or so relevant childhood risk factors in silence.

I finished it last night, and WOW. Great recommendation.

11/25/2025 – Train Dreams After missing the one-night engagement Train Dreams had in theaters in Seattle as part of the Seattle Film Critics Society PNW Awards, my hopes were that the film would be good but not so good that…

Day 4 continues my 2025 catch up with the film that immediately jumped to the top of my best of the year list, Train Dreams. womanwithamovieblog.com/2025/11/25/1...

I usually am several years late to seeing "new" films but your praise inspired me to boot this up during lunch.

Unbelievable filmmaking. Still have 30 mins to finish later today but I'm just in awe at everything here.

The world isn't ready to learn that it's not a cute way to refer to on-set dog

And then we can immediately wreck that understanding by crediting our sound editor AND our dialogue sound editor separately.

every industry should adopt this format for benefit of the people involved, but also for benefit of the audience, so they can finally understand the difference between Sound Mixing and Sound Design

Nearly every game of ATL limited seems to be defined by one of three things:
-absurd rares/mythics
-8 million flametongue kavu variants
-firebending

it's a rare instance of a set that passes the vibes test but doesn't necessarily have "fun" play patterns

I'll play a few with drix and with gnarlid colony, i think there's merit to both (like finding gnarlid colony cheaper off the harmonize GSZ)
