This is interesting… Benevolent Blessing is called out in 702.16p where the clarification exists, but Spectra Ward is worded like 702.16n, which does not use the β€œalready attached” language but ultimately has the same functionality: new attachments are still prohibited, but existing ones are not

My reading is the same as yours - β€œthis effect doesn’t remove Auras” will only apply to Auras already attached, not to ones attempting to become attached.

Especially if you phrase it to the judge as β€œI want my opponent to be able to follow what I’m doing, but I don’t want to effectively be time-penalized due to my opponent’s lack of experience,” then a time extension becomes very defensible πŸ™‚

Hi! L4 judge here. This is a tough one.

Current policy doesn’t explicitly allow for an extension here. However, many judges would be willing to grant one (in my experience) if it’s in service of correct play and education. You can always ask away from the table to make such an ask less awkward πŸ™‚

People with genAI anxiety would really benefit from taking one afternoon to sit and watch all of Serial Experiments Lain in one go, your choice of intoxicant or enhancement. It is only 13 episodes, and it will give you perspective on how stupid everything is now

Two completely different people carry around "little toys" for all the "kids (eager to see the truck)". Feels at best creepy and at worst a completely fabricated script.

the extwitter mindset is ultimately about a contempt for knowledge. it was never about "science vs humanities." it is about the idea that it is worthwhile to understand the different facets of a complex system even if you cannot provide an immediately instrumental justification for doing so

The American People are always the biggest boss in this country, and we need to assert that power more often to remind them.

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.
