100% not the same, but almost every game I get a veiled Garruk in the field, he ends up feeling more like a Liliana.

Right up there with this classic

@LPNational (the national Libertarian Party) asks, “In your words, what do Libertarians believe?”

@WAForeskins quotes with “My girlfriend shouldn’t have to sit in a car seat”

Look, we may not have gotten a Lorwyn super drop, but Labyrinth cards are pretty damn close. Also, my kids will lose their minds over Kpop Demon Hunters cards. I'm going to have to lock them up so they don't get wrecked.

Upping my ante because I'm frustrated still @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app why do we continue to see trans folk suspended consistently for saying things that could never be construed as an actual threat when people say worst towards trans people daily on this site?

I asked Maro this exact question at MC Amsterdam and he assured me they had no plans to ever print an HP set. Always let them know this is upsetting, because they know it and need to be held to that!

We as a community should always shoot down the possibility of Terf Wizard School x MTG, but yea, I don't think it's happening. Not any time soon anyway. It takes a lot for Maro to say something even this close to a straight up "No."

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

What I know from speaking to people in the building, this would not happen. BUT if you get this player survey you should still tell them Absolutely No!

Does @magic.wizards.com not know how sacred trans rights are to those who make Magic & the community surrounding it? We can debate the efficacy of advocacy-through-products; But this'd be one of the few IPs that could organically incite an impactful boycott across play, commentary, & production.

Ireland's artist basic income returned €1.39 for every €1 spent. They made it permanent. South Korea just announced plans to follow. Now Scotland too.

I just found out this. Absolutely absurd that Drexel "can't" find a way to keep the nation's oldest natural history museum open.

I must say, there's little more satisfying in standard right now than exiling all of a landfall deck's forests with Deadly Cover-up.

Would sooner quit Magic than support any Harry Potter set. I trust that the Magic Design team has no interest in making anything of the sort but I think it's good to make clear to executives how much money they will lose if they tried to push that shit

I will say, this reaction is exactly what needs to happen to forestall this shit. Hasbro has the license and they want to make money off of it. Let them know it isnt worth it.

On the one hand, I wish they had sent me this survey, so I could respond with "fuck no, I will never attend another Magic event or buy another Magic product if you do this." On the other hand, I would have broken my thumb jamming the "fuck no" button, and I'm already in enough pain as is.

I HIGHLY suggest people fill out the surveys and show how much they don’t want this. MARO’s recent podcast about Aftermath shows they do listen to those, and that people responded by showing it having the worst rating ever for a set. IT WILL MATTER to respond. Please do people if you get one!

To be clear, this is likely to gauge interest and test the waters. An emphatic fuck no from the consumer base would be ideal here.

"Taking a dip in a piranha pool" is infinitely less vitriolic than people wishing literal "I hope you die" sentiments and it's a completely unrealistic scenario. I see posts get away with breaking every one of the "for example" bullet points and yet it's only trans folk who get held to standard.

Why yes, I was a preteen in the early 2000s who watched a lot of Toonami, how could you guess? my9animes.com/en I remember running home to avoid missing the latest episodes. Especially if they were the last ones in that batch, it would usually be months before they aired again! Also, Totoro.

It seems like everything sucks lately, but a 16 year old rockstar with a killer scream might win America's Got Talent, so I guess it's not quite everything.

This sucks for totally new players for sure. It seems like Welcome Decks are still going to be a thing though. This also might mean they're looking more at lapsed Magic players who are Trekkies than they are at Trekkies who've never played.

FAFO aside, his shock is a great distillation of how whiteness as a social construct is built around shattering communal understanding of our interconnected human ecosystem in favor of a mythical individualism How whiteness leaves its adherents defenseless against our shared oppressors: capitalists
