Good to have a reminder every once in a while. It's easy to do, and the problem is likely to get worse. So make it a habit.

I decided to snag the raid day ticket and did about 30 raids total with a local community group. Not a single one of mine were shiny 😭 Best pull was this guy though!

I usually shred zucchini to help bulk up pasta dishes. I haven't tried making zucchini bread myself, but I've heard about that too

Statement from Volkan Baga’s art broker Mark Aronowitz

Hi everyone. What started as an exciting day celebrating the reveal of Volkan Baga's new Jace card quickly turned into a difficult situation when questions of art theft were raised online.

I want to provide some clear context: Volkan followed the exact creative brief he was assigned. In fact, he specifically checked with the art director prior to painting regarding the background swirl and overall mood, and was instructed to proceed with that exact composition.

Wizards of the Coast has since issued an official statement clarifying the matter:

"We’ve seen some of the discussion around the art of Jace, Multiverse Architect by Volkan Baga and Breach the Multiverse by Liiga Smilshkalne and wanted to make a few things clear.

First, the art direction given to Volkan was to directly reference this piece into the art. Much of the visual storytelling in Reality Fracture centers on Jace utilizing or incorporating powerful magic he has learned from events he has experienced. This was a direct, intentional call back to that moment to indicate that, in his efforts to rid the multiverse of Phyrexia, Jace had become the very thing he sought to eradicate.

Second, Volkan created this piece traditionally, from a first sketch done by hand up through the final painted version.

Finally, Magic has long created visual callbacks in its art to evoke connection through its shared multiverse. This has spurred some additional internal conversations about how we communicate those callbacks to artists who create iconic pieces, but it is very important to us to create a shared world that feels unified. This includes use of symbols, characters, and important moments throughout art.

We’ve been in contact with both artists and appreciate measured discussions around these important topics."

Creative misunderstandings happen, especially when reference material is involved, but Volkan worked entirely in good faith and with total professionalism from sketch to final oils. Thank you to everyone w…

Reminder that DJ Cutman runs a Suno AI slop farm called “Snuggle Bunch”, aimed specifically at children. The same man that publicly denounced the use of gen AI, yet has been actively using it for monetary gain (as recently as last week)

Such a shame. I've been listening to a lot of VGM Lofi for a while now, and I'm realizing that all of it is tied up in the GameChops label. I feel for the talented artists that are going to be affected by the actions of one individual.

Thinking about this exchange today

A YouTube video for the Water Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The comments section has an exchange as detailed below. “@TheMrdangles16 • 11y ago:
i hate the water temple... too confusing :(“ “@KeithHalsell • 2y ago:
it's been 9 years, i hope you are doing great in life now.” “@TheMrdangles16 • 2y ago: it couldn't be going worse Keith.”

Apparently it's the 35th anniversary of the Civilization franchise, and I'll take any excuse to repost this comic. "Civilization" (art by @letsongakemi.bsky.social) #MTG #MagicTheGathering #Vorthos

A Magic fan comic, with the following panels:

Panel 1: Vraska asks Jace, "did you finish your Civ City thing?" Jace says, "had to start over."
Panel 2: Vraska says, "but you've been playing for, like, three weeks."
Panel 3: Jace (stressed) says, "had to start over."
Panel 4: Vraska says, "Why? Did you lose?" Jace says, "No." Vraska says, "So why, then?" Jace says, "France built Big Ben."
Panel 5: Vraska says, "So?" Jace (maniacal) says, "HAD TO START OVER."

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common: they don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

Dolly Parton did a huge amount of good with wealth she largely worked to earn. 9 to 5 is a Marxist text & permeant karaoke banger. She stood with queer & trans people throughout her life & the world was a better place for having her stay a while.

A New Color (1/5🧵)

Page 1: A man is walking home, smoking a cigarette, being quietly trailed by a UFO above him. As he enters his apartment, two aliens watch from inside the ship. Alien 1, who has a large head, says, “that’s him. Let’s move.”

Page 2: The man walks upstairs as the aliens watch from the entrance of the building. The man enters his apartment and greets his little dog. Suddenly there is a knock at the door.

Page 3: he peers through his peephole, and sees the two aliens standing in the hallway. Alien 1 is holding a briefcase. From behind him, the voice of alien one: “don’t scream.”

Page 4: The aliens are seated across the room on the man’s couch. Sadie is in her bed next to them. Alien 1 says, “you’re not in any danger. Have a seat.” The man looks at his dog and thinks, “sadie is unusually calm.” Alien 1: don’t scream, or it’s a problem.

Arena is weird because it doesn't have the full card pool that pauper has, so "historic pauper" is kind of is its own format and doesn't abide by the normal pauper banlist.
