A run or even individual books
I need comics fans to let me know: Is there an X-Men slice of life run, where they focus on the kids attending Xavier’s School but not becoming a member of the X-Men? If not, I think that’s a cool avenue to explore themes for the series.
It is. And wait until you hear about my streaming algorithms...
Book 3 features a Sword and a Stone...
Democracy is dying in the light, this administration doesn’t need darkness to kill it.
There does need to be a 4 or 5 color angel commander. The best multi color angel commander (IMHO) is 4 Color Aragorn or Kynaeos and Tiro. Serra, notably was never an angel. She just used her specific god-level premending planeswalker abilities to create an entire realm of them.
Ur-Brushwagg.
Angels and demons... Angels (except for Elspeth and Avacyn) are pure manifestations of mana and faith and hope. Demons are manifestations of mana, greed, and temptation... (At least I think that's the current confirmed thing).
Fuck
Or could be more like Ungoliant in Tolkien? A spirit that sided with Morgoth and chose to take the form of a spider and basically spawned all the giant spiders in Middle-Earth.
Did they seriously name the in universe one "Scion of the Ur-Spider"?
Bit of recency bias, but it was also a banger setting with a lot of evocative design. Even if mice overtook standard and the draft environment.
Can't give an inch on trans rights otherwise you end up with the kind of shitshow the UK has going on right now.
It's THE PERFECT setting for a UB Commander Draft environment. Radiant Spren work so well with legendary creatures for a "Background-esque" partner for limited that doesn't add to the pool of partner commanders. It's big enough of a setting to fit a TON of old and new stuff.
I have one Magic the Gathering conspiracy. With the crossover sets happening, Brandon Sanderson getting multiple card spoilers, and Brandon Sanderson being pretty open about his love of commander cube... I think we're gonna get a Stormlight Commander draft set.
I was playing standard during Throne of Eldraine, and what it did to that format... Original Theros, Baldur's Gate, and Neon Dynasty are up there for me.
Saga and Eldraine on the list at all are WILD, given how they broke multiple formats.
But autonomy first. Then the world you may leave to any potential child, then finances. That’s my order at least as to why I don’t want to have kids.
If people do not have bodily autonomy, they do not feel safe to carry babies because what if a complication on a WANTED baby happens? That’s the biggest reason alone. Finances and bringing children into the world as it is currently *gestures wildly* is something a lot don’t want to do either.
LOUDER IN FOR THOSE IN THE BACK.
Sys admins and dev ops people: Yup. That's how you say the name of that folder.
"Got to have the thing the set cares about" the card. At least with Avatar Aang you have to jump through several mechanical hoops to get the good payoff.
annual reminder to my fellow bi folks: BE GAY DO CRIME DOES NOT APPLY IN SEPTEMBER!! THEY CAN SEE US THIS MONTH!!! PLS REFRAIN FROM DOING CRIME WHEN BEING GAY!! 🌈🌈🌈 stay safe everyone and happy #BiVisibilityMonth 💙💜🩷
Everything I've seen about Democrats' version of Project 2029 is far too modest and weak-kneed. Democrats need to look at the precedents Trump is setting (and shattering) and figure out how a progressive can maximally wield the power that this administration is concentrating in the executive branch.
They’re probably a little too busy scrambling to catch up on the runway success of KPop Demon Hunters.
Memeing Sony into a third release would be hilarious
Made some solid progress on setting up my home media server yesterday.
What is bringing you joy today? What made you laugh or smile today? Have you brought joy to someone else today?
MakeMKV then putting it through hand break to encode the files for use over in home streaming.
Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy
I've never understood the appeal of cold pizza. I've tried it and not a big fan.
It’s a little thing you don’t think would be nice to have until it’s there. And then you wonder why it’s not a standard thing. (Royal you)
They won’t, because keeping you glued is the business model. But starting a movie at 7;20 and seeing “oh at 9:47 I’ll be done?” Is nice.
As I’m setting up my home media server and ripping my Blu ray for backup and JellyFin use, I noticed JellyFin has a feature where it tells you the estimated time something will end. Like clock time. Which is super handy. Other services should do that.
I got a home server set up for a JellyFin media server and network share. Able to rip blu rays I OWN and encode the files from either of my computers (laptop or desktop). Back up your physical media.

Pritzker is showing how to stand up to him.
The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary. “We didn’t know” “Nobody told us” “He promised he wouldn’t…” This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.
Team pester Matt until he actually watches it.
It’s a masterpiece. I’d say it’s the second best children’s fantasy behind Earthsea. And I don’t say that lightly.
Completely related, Have you watched Avatar the Last Airbender yet?
Bring back Parks and Recreation for one special episode just so Joan Calamezzo and Perd Happley can break the news.

Hoping all our hopes manifest into reality 🤞
we were all happy for an evening and that’s not nothing
I feel a great lightness in my heart knowing that we have a new fun hobby, and the memes are just gonna be better each time.
here's the thing, don't feel bad about enjoying this moment because if he is still alive, he is now watching literally the entirety of the english speaking globe celebrating and laughing at the thought of him dying, and THAT is worth it alone
Nobody coming after him has ANY fucking charisma, even the evil kind. They're just soft and weak and miserable and no amount of cruelty and money will let them turn that into a coalition
Except the cult he created will crumble. No one has the ability to maintain that cult.
I mean I don't see the charisma. He's a babbling idiot. But a lot of Fox News addled brains seem to think that's charismatic.
It will still be a lot of work to get to a healthy place as a society. But everyone around him wasn't selected because they're competent, only because they're loyal. When he's gone, so is their loyalty.
Things will still be rough. I'm not saying they won't. And be rough for a while, even during our Nuremberg reckoning that we must do. But he shaped his second term based on loyalty to him, not with any awareness or thought that he could go and having a successor to his cult of personality.
This is why I don't believe people when they say "nothing materially will change when he passes". Bullshit. Trump's an idiot and a malignant narcissist who created a massive cult of personality with charisma (even though I don't see it). No one has the charisma to keep that cult together.
Just to expand on this, I've said for years that the GOP's fatal misunderstanding is they think Trump's power is his cruelty. It's his showmanship. He's an extremely talented carnival barker WHO ALSO happens to be a vicious idiot. But, crucially, he *is good at being a carnival barker*
After a night where an entire social media site and parts of TikTok all ghoul scrolled, posting pics right away would be a big priority to sink spirits. I'm just saying.
Guess the profits from the Harry Potter boxes weren't worth it after all 🤷
Pics or it didn't happen.
🎶I dreamed a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed🎶
Okay. But an elder with signs of serious dementia disappearing for three days is scary in general, but when it's the person with access to the largest nuclear arsenal in history, it's fucking terrifying.
bsky.app/profile/didi... I did it
Boo.
Trump's entire cabinet currently on a bedside vigil blowing smoke up his ass telling him he's going to heaven where God will step aside happy to welcome him as his new all powerful master
Probably gonna start an alt account in the morning that just asks the question “did it happen yet?”
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town
Yeah, if anything, a giant serpent emerges and he pulls out a sword that spews lava trails and says something like. “TOGETHA WE WILL DEVOUR THE VERY GODS”
there's no way his handlers aren't seeing the rumors. all they have to do is put him in front of a camera aaaaand yet.
The Sekiro speedrun community already grabbed the mortal blade, so we’re good.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
No notes
The fact that we are taking the energy of the old joke from Soviet Russia where a man looks for an obituary each morning in the newspaper, is told “the obituaries are in the back” and he responds “not the one I’m looking for” is the energy we need every day.
Clots and prayers.
this is “stuff pillows under the blanket to make it look like someone is sleeping in the bed” levels of cover up
I swear, if this is how I find out, what a thematic way to find out. A show about revolution, equality, freedom, and hope. “The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward.”
No one else was in the room where it happened.
Weekend at Bernies level scheming going on.
Honestly love that the vibe here on a late Friday night going into the last weekend of summer is “gosh I really hope he’s dead, we’re gonna throw one hell of a party”
I hope that when RFK Jr dies someday, someone has been hired and trained to capture whatever crawls out of the body, so that it doesn't find a new host
If it should happen before I wake, I pray the Lord the news ain't fake.
I for one, look forward to the new all gender bathroom that gets erected. Will be the best thing he ever did.
Guillotine Guffaws?
Hope is good, actually.
"Tywin Lannister, in the end, did not shit gold." Cheeto is not as intelligent as Tywin. But like Tywin, his legacy will be ash and shit, never the gilded veneer he put on.
“maybe it will happen today” - early 21st century american proverb
With a significant number of creators dropping sponsorships today bc of UGs decision to continually make immoral choices, I’m no longer afraid to state that this same company brought me into a call and requested I refrain from using the verbiage “genocide” when referring to Palestine Free Palestine
Apropos of nothing in particular: Live your life in such a way where millions of people where millions of people don't stay up past their bed time waiting to crack the bottle of Scotch or crack that cigar they're saving for the event of you shuffling off this mortal coil.
Remember the Titans holds up more than I thought it would. And is more nuanced than I remember it with how it portrays racism.
The statistical analysis:
Cutting someone off because they voted for Trump is not a difference in politics. That's a difference in morality. I believe in empathy. Kindness. Human rights. The Rule of Law. Transformative Justice. If someone calls those basic principles wrong, that's a moral difference. Not political.
Queen Response.
Trump took LEGO from you.
Found out there's a maker space run by the community college near me with a Resin Printer you can reserve. When you don't have the ventilation for a resin printer but have fallen deep down the rabbit hole of mini painting, that's a nice thing.

"Hills of Tanchico" came on my shuffle recently. GIVE US MORE. #SaveWoT
Ruin a book by adding "Tom Clancy's" to the title. Tom Clancy's The Dragon Reborn.
