sorry, i don't yet understand what happened on the plane to Israel either but if your kneejerk is that this is a perfidious Israeli false flag you are just absurdly cooked and you need to change your life

The relentless focus on the Space Marines is like a depiction of the US military that just follows SEAL Team 6 around and everything else is background

My investor told me he doesn't really see the moat in my plan. I explained that's the point. The glacis protects the base of the wall and obscures the ditch entirely. By the time the assault party reaches the counterscarp with fascines, they will be committed and under crossfire from grapeshot

Algeria spends almost 9% of its GDP on defense even though they’re not at war! SIPRI has Russia at 7.5%! (In fairness Libya, Niger, and Mali are failed states but that’s not why you buy SU-57) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

lotta people not realizing Algeria and Morocco fought a war in the 60s, support each others rebel groups, are each doing massive military buildups, and severed official ties 5 years back

It's World Marine Aids to Navigation Day on the 1st July, so here's a quick thread on some aids to navigation. Now the first and most obvious aid to navigation is dry land. Dry land - pay attention at the back - is strongly suggestive that you can't go sailing here.

Trying to explain that a mummy known as the "Princess of Xiaohe" isn't a princess because she had high social status but because she's perfectly preserved and her features are striking, but without trying to imply that a mummy is hot, which would be weird as hell

Hoover being a lousy president and also one of the great men of the century as an organizer of famine relief - including saving the nascent Soviet Union from even worse starvation in the early 20sv- is another of those strange facts of history.

I don't really know how you write this, about Poland in 1937, less then 2 years away from the end of everything and don't scream and beg and cry for them to run run away, anywhere but Poland anywhere but Europe, hate to admit it all you like, but in this Jabotinsky was right and the Bund dead wrong.
During the same years that the Polish government demanded the expulsion of three million Jewish citizens, Jabotinsky toured the country calling for their “evacuation,” a fine distinction that the Bund didn’t appreciate. When Jabotinsky spoke in Vilna, the Bund was there to picket the man they called “the spiritual father of Jewish fascism.” “We are citizens with equal rights in this country!” their pamphlets read. “We shall fight for work and for bread, for life and for rights here in Poland! We do not wish to escape from Poland! We shall not permit charlatans to speak in our name!”

Yeah, we just play factory chrono, level chrono to 5/5, then start attacking, and just hold waste until nexus comes down i or you waste factory.

@jkyu06.bsky.social can choose to play no cards until you and @ryanstevens.bsky.social archfiend and elk your archfiend, so I believe this is a DD where neither side can commit.

I don't think so? T1 you talent, I discard sphere, I play prototype and kill you turn 5.

elyv.bsky.social @elyv.bsky.social · 27/03/2026
vs @meatballwalrus.bsky.social: LL->DD. Lead on Prototype, deal 5 or 10 damage before Ferox comes out t3, if they attack they lose the race. vs @ryanstephens.bsky.social: LL->DD. I lead on prototype, if they go for the win prototype gets to attack and race.

vs @nickchk.com: LL->DL. On the play I lead on trinisphere and either they waste me and can't deploy a wincon or they let me cast prototype and win. vs @mutantmell.net: DL->DD. I lead on Prototype, if they go for the win they get raced.

Elyv workshop 3sphere prototype vs: @brythefryguy.bsky.social: WL->WD. For Bry to play for the win, he has to thoughtseize 3sphere so we both get our creatures out, and there is no life total where they can successfully race.

WD instead of WW vs @mosheroperandi.bsky.social, Jace is a t8 win so I lose the race on the draw and counter instead.

I WW vs @achilleslaststand.bsky.social, I just cast jace on turn 11 with 5 floating to counter their force. DD vs @egirlstravinsky.bsky.social, I force their Mox DD vs @nickchk.com, force their mox DD vs @mutantmell.net, force LED

I actually WL not WD vs @brythefryguy.bsky.social. They t1 foundry and present lethal t8 making 4/4s asap. Giant has 10 counters to get through, so the last three I get are +1/+1, lifelink and first strike. Since I can't attack t4 I can't race and since I don't have first strike I can't block.

Elyv (Workshop Trinisphere Crystalline Golem) vs achilleslaststand(Chancellor Footfalls Force) LL, should be WW. Trinisphere forces everything to cost 3 as the last mana cost modifier so Footfalls coming off suspend costs 3 and force of vigor also costs 3

Force/Memnite loses to most single disruption/single threat decks because Memnite is such a weak threat so I don't know that it'll ever reach the podium

One of the key events in the first half of the Peloponnesian War was the Battle/Siege of Sphacteria, where a couple hundred Spartans were besieged and captured/killed by Athens. I don’t think it’s a great analogy though

I have pretty severe ADHD. I don't hide it but I don't really talk about it much either because I don't really have anything that interesting to say about it. It fucking sucks and makes my life notably worse. I wish I didn't have it. That's about all there is to say.
