And no legends! How can I make my KPop Demon Hunters deck with no commander?

Think I stopped being young at the St Albans beer festival when I switched from pints to halves.

I used to listen to and like his Political Party podcast, enjoyed seeing him live too. Grew tired of it after a bit and his transphobia sealed it.

I liked it overall. I thought the parody elements were done with love of the original rather than condescension. My young son enjoyed it too. He was also excited by the post credit She-Ra tease.

Key lesson of this by-election: make sure you book a plumber from Reform UK, not the Greens, as they will still have availability.

KFB was a bit out of our way, so we were more likely to stop at Pizza Connection on South Street on the way back from the pub. Or Pizza Infection as I'm sure we weren't the first or last to name it #StAndrewsLife

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread: Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

So there is also the Scouts, who are open to everybody - and I do mean everybody! And they very clearly state it too, which makes me want to hug their, er, chief scout, or whatever ;) www.scouts.org.uk/news/2025/ap...

It isn't calculating anything though. It's giving what it thinks on average a response to your question would look like.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Saw this just before I went to place my votes for the internal elections. Both candidates for president have condemned the change on libdemvoice. Don't suppose there's an easy place to see other positions candidates opinions on this?

I find it slightly disheartening that we can get better political reflection from South Park than anything on the Sunday news/politics shows.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.

A grid showing prep to goth on the x axis and nerd to jock on the y axis. There is a result plotted in the half way point of the x axis and one sixth on the y axis. There is text that states "you are tied between goth and prep, 73.6% nerd, placing you in the True Nerd category."

Whilst I won't bash how much I am enjoying it, I do have the same niggling feeling that Hasbro will take the final fantasy example and batter magic to death trying similar releases.

I am not a long term magic fan, I've only been playing since the start of the year. It was one of these final fantasy sets that prompted me to buy my own commander deck rather than borrowing a friend's.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Got to the end of it. Some glimmers of hope at the end but overall a pretty damning view of our entire system of government. Need to read something a bit lighter next!

Half way through @iandunt.bsky.social's "How Westminster Works" and it is a depressing indictment of our political system. Hoping for some reasons for optimism in the second half!
