"AI is a tool."

No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal.

Stop validating it, even in passing.

MacKenzie Scott Donates $80 Million To Reboot ‘Living Single’

much like many of the DB people have said:

I don't wanna paaaaaack

Someone should write a series of novels studying the relationship between Game Makers, Streamers, and Viewers. Cause good lord, what a perfectly fucked up little trifecta we've created over the past 10 years.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

There has never been a time when humans can be as angry at as many different things than right now and it’s breaking our brains.

It's very simple. The next film should be about four Bonds: a cyborg one, a bloke in a suit of armour with a big hammer, a teenage one who's cloned from the DNA of Bond and Blofeld, and a fascist one that's secretly an artifact from Bond's homeworld.
Then the real one should come back with a mullet.

High Tide banned on the 50th anniversary of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

I found the only comment on the High Tide ban that matters:

don't know why YouTube decided I want to hear about the latest research on irrigating macademia nuts

but absolutely I do

Jen's out of town. I'm getting Little Ceasars, as I do every time she's out of town. It always makes me think of this. I miss him

The one single thing twitter still has going for it - if you post on it about how much Elon Musk sucks, there's a really good chance he'll see it and it'll hurt his feelings.

it increases the amount of cards that can overlap between decks, which in some part undermines color identity, which is meant to promote diversity of card inclusion in the format. it's one of the foundational parts of edh. to me there would need to be an extremely important reason to diminish it.

I don't really care about design intent. I bet the design intent behind EDH has changed since only the goofy elder dragons were generals (& tuck, color generation…)
It's barely a format anyway, more like slightly structured kitchen magic. I care about the end result and all I can see is fun stuff*

so if someone is pro hybrid mana, but think phyrexian mana is too far, they need to make an argument for hybrid mana that does not justify phyrexian mana! and developer intent is not that argument

But... that's just opinion.

Phyrexian or Hybrid mana intents being good or bad are just opinions.

I COULD be swayed to be more lenient UNDER 1 CONDITION: we revert the rule regarding producing colors outside your Commander's CID.

If that rule is reverted, I'd have no problem with hybrids, or even splits/Adventures where only half of them is correct, because it's literally impossible to cast.

I'm of the opinion of keeping the current rules, because it causes the fewest issues. I would probably have no problem with someone having Rhys the Redeemed in their monogreen Elf deck's 99. But that's a Rule 0 discussion to me. I shouldn't EXPECT him to show up.

However...

Of course, the other problem with the Deans is that if you're casting the back side and only have the intent of using the back side... but your opponent blinks it... it comes back front-side.

To me, Phyrexian is the same as Twobrid: It's either colored or colorless.

If we're allowing Beseech the Queen in any deck, we should allow Phyrexian mana in any deck.

And... there's discussion both ways on Twobrid.

His hair, WACK.
His gear, WACK.
His jewelry, WACK.
His footstance, WACK.
The way he talks, WACK.
The way he doesn't even like to smile, WACK.

Me?
I’m tight as F U C K

Well, it's time I share some exciting news! I am going to be starting a new adventure and, after nearly 14 years, I'll be leaving Wizards. Tomorrow will be my last day.

I've written something up on my blog (and screen capped it on this post): www.trickjarrett.com/sharing-some...

Entomb getting banned isn't a big deal, I just switch to Gamble since whatever I tutor for always goes to the yard anyway 🤷‍♂️

It’s also a mistake politicians make. It’s actually a very common human mistake: to try and change the minds of people who dislike you, rather than focus on those who already love you.

This term is so social media-brained. Coined by people who can't imagine themselves without an audience, or that anyone could genuinely want to pass time in any other form than Stare at Phone

And that's why most of these people who even were charged, were done so at State levels and not Federal:

President can't pardon State-charged crimes.
