You’re correct, and I’m tired of pretending they are cool

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

Trump and Hegseth screwing over trans veterans on retirement benefits is an easy slam dunk politically for Democrats to flip the narrative on trans folks and that's exactly why they'll continue going on podcasts talking about how bigots have a point about sports.

Hmm, what do ‘central camps’ and ‘final plan’ remind you of?

Good morning and “cry more, landlubbers!”

hell yeah computer show me what players are the biggest pieces of shit

OG Ancient Tomb is perfect. EoE has some amazing art but the original remains unbeaten.

A heavily modified human figure stands framed by a distant black hole, hands raised, as metal skeletons rise to meet them

Here's the other illustration I did for MTG Edge of Eternities, Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist!

I have some bad news

The media will write articles like "Is the Radical Left pushing people out of the Democratic Party?" and cite some 19 year old TikTok leftist with 203 followers.

Meanwhile Elon Musk is tweeting stuff like "we must protect White Women to ensure the future of our Race" and that's just Very Normal.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

a set of four Ultimate Guard Boulder deck boxes, each themed around a different house from Harry Potter, a series of books written by one of the most outspoken transphobes in the world, who uses her immense platform and wealth to demonize and directly harm trans people.

i really like ultimate guard boulders and katana sleeves. too bad i'm never buying any of them ever again.

If I were in charge of a small liberal arts school, I would start thinking about aggressively marketing my institution as a "knowledge-first" college. One where students can escape the intrusion of constant AI and focus on deep learning and engagement.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Most things are worth taking seriously.

I swear the next person who takes a perfectly good earnest thing and makes it ironic. I will actually lose it.

Emphatically no, just play Destiny 1. I cannot stress enough that D1 is legitimately a better game and finding some folks to play the old magic with is going to be way, way better than whatever the hell this latest expansion is.

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

Jesus lord, I think I am understanding some things about myself.

myr battlesphere was the first spacecraft, really

Hey. Hey. Hey. Fucking nut up. It is scary, and it is bad, and it is lethal. Which is exactly the time you need to fucking get your ass in gear and fight. Nut the fuck up motherfucker.

I understand feeling despair but this is a deeply irresponsible thing to say to ninety one thousand people. throughout history people have faced harder battles and worse odds. I am not saying things are good but if you have a large platform it is important to not let your despair turn contagious

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

Correct, literally this.

I know I love them, can’t explain why tbh but I do.

This is the future of magic

I'm beginning to realize my single biggest problem with UB: it's all properties that represent soulless and disinterested corporate interests rather than media that's popular because it's... Good.

They don't need the attention, it's just a cynical cash grab.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

I play it in a Volrath the Fallen deck that I put together and take apart every 6 months 😂
