Perhaps we could express our disapproval of human manure pile Kim Davis without targeting her appearance. This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.

I needed to see this reported in three different places before my brain could accept it wasn't just a joke.

My first 7 win draft for Edge of Eternities; All Fates Stalker is a ridiculously amazing card that provides you with way way too many lines of play to figure. I need to go lie down.

A still from The Simpsons - Mr Burns holds two bottles of ketchup/catsup. The Magic: The Gathering cards "Portable Hole" and "Seam Rip" have been crudely pasted onto the bottles.

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

As expected seeing ppl backpedaling on the itch thing now that there's a list of the unacceptable content and it includes stuff that's "too gross"

It's all of us or none of us. Our enemies have made that clear.

I would rather work side by side with a freak than with a fascist.

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.

Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.

If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I have very few people who I genuinely considered heroic for the creative fields, but Kevin MacLeod was one of them. To learn that the "free varied music for whatever you want it for" guy stopped composing and started prompt engineering AI slop for almost a year is the most depressing twist.

Feeling down on myself recently. Still annoyed at myself for dropping the ball missing out on the EOE prerelease. And if I'm being honest, my birthday is coming up in a few days so the existential dread it set to 11.

So I'm going to do something I rarely do. Brag a little to try and pump myself up.

this is what's so funny about the American right, right. they bang on about tradition but they don't want real American history (mutts and losers) and they bang on about European heritage but don't want to be like Europe (socialist gays). what they want is to live in a Coke commercial from 1952

Today's public transport excitement is a bus, a bus, a ferry, a bus, an automated light metro and a bus. I am not trying to be @milesintransit.com; I am just going from Victoria to Vancouver via transit.

If I animate a Lander token, give it all creature types and then give it flying. I have Elder Dragon High Lander.

the people of omelas have a moral obligation to bring as much of the surrounding territories under the banner of their city-state as possible, by force if necessary, lest the maximal utility of the suffering child go to waste

Not only is @itch.io removing NSFW tagged items from searches a shitty move that burns their reputation to the ground, they did it without telling anyone. So not only are they ruining people's lives with moves in this direction, but they're also cowards.

another thing i like about the Monoists is that theyre Black-aligned and pro-apocalypse, but theyre *not* misanthropic.
they dont want the world to end because they believe people are bad and deserve to die. they want the world to end because they believe people are *good* and deserve a better world

B.R.E.A.D. does not apply in Vintage Cube. To truly succeed, you need to load up on C.U.M.:

C ommander cards that don't scale to 1v1
U niverses Beyond cards pushed to hell
M istakes by the 2019 design team

huh? HUH!

OK, it turns out that my problem is the deck exporter not working with split cards instead? Weird and infuriating!

Thank you for pointing this out to me, though.
