Thanks to Google Alerts, I now know that South African police have finally nabbed murder suspect Tautona Pooka.

ICYMI, I've been writing and puppeting on the webs! Latest is a great intro if you haven't watched yet, a deep dive into the "pooka" from folklore (the framing device of the whole series). Stories, dumb jokes, and a cat-knight you LARPers may recognized. 🐈‍⬛ youtu.be/watch?v=dMdawOx1o7E

LA has grown around the entertainment industry for over 100 years. Thus, the cost of shooting in LA is partially subsidized by *not having to fly whatever specific thing you need from LA.*

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

Hot take: Doctor Strange should be gay. No, I don't think every character should. Peter is a teenage boy with girl trouble. Tony is a billionaire playboy. ...and Doctor Strange lives in Greenwich village with another man. Come on, Marvel. 🌈 🧙‍♂️

I said this in my Odyssey video, but don't spoil parts for the people who don't know it. Not everyone's read every classical work. Or they might be familiar with the epic mythology of their own culture, not just yours. Either way, "You can't spoil it; it's thousands of years old!" is one lazy joke.

The real skin-color-related issue of the Odyssey is how a white dude stuck on the open Mediterranean Sea for 10 years looks like he spent that time indoors moisturizing and watching Housewives.

Mythology is just a pile of dusty old stories with no relevance to the modern day. We need to focus on today's issues, like a narcissist obsessed with his reflecting pool.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

A close up of captain kirk getting his eyes scanned. It is cut off above the eyebrows and below his mouth.

The same image in a thumbnail for Star Trek, the wrath of Khan. But AI has painted the rest of the image so that Kirk is a balding man in a business suit.

Reddit Post from r/mtg

Title:
I created the Goblin Storm deck, and here are my thoughts on the release.

Body:
What up yall!

I figured this might be the easiest way to put out my thoughts on the drop today.

I'm obviously super disappointed in how the drop was handled. I woke up just like all of you to try and buy a second copy (yes I only get one), and just like many of you, it sold out while it was in my cart.

I spent months on the concepts and art for this deck, and it truly was my dream project with Magic, as many of you know. We promoted the deck around me as the artist, and I did everything they'd let me to prioritize my fan base, many of which were planning to get into Magic via this deck.

I don't gain anything from the deck selling out this fast. I want the most people possible to get to enjoy this project that I worked so hard on. I've already sent an email to my best contact at WOTC to see if there's any possibility in getting more decks in circulation (not counting on it but still worth a try).

Just wanted to get on here and rant, and say regardless of everything, I'm extremely grateful for the support of the Magic community, and I don't take it for granted that people wanted this deck at all. So THANK YOU I APPRECIATE YOU!!

Okay I'm gonna go sit outside now and try to separate this experience from the artwork so I can still be proud of it when I see it!

Love u all - Dakota, AKA Wizard of Barge

Yesterday's video briefly mentioned Ananse, African spider-god, in the first 45 seconds. Video was seen by a few subscribers... then zip. Exactly like two episodes ago, when it misread a spoken word as vulgar. Sure enough, subtitles say "a Nazi." Gettin real sick of YouTube's Dumb Puritan Robot.
