I REALLY like this @anildash.com piece on 'unalive' and algospeak in general, particularly the exploration of the implications for a generation of people growing up steeped in it.

From @jespermyrfors.bsky.social, The Dark set art director over on Facebook: “The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians…” Some cards for context and the set list: scryfall.com/sets/drk

FOR THE RECORD:
There have been rumors. Now I will clear it up and be as unambiguous as possible.

The Magic: The Gathering release The Dark was 100% a commentary on the evils and hypocrisy of bigoted right wing Christians.

Having gone through the idiotic satanic panic of the 80s and then listening to their moronic and unfounded pearl clutching arguments that MTG promoted "devil worship", I had had enough and decided to hold a mirror up to them.

That is why White is represented as dangerous, dogmatic and unempathetic in the set. White in The Dark glorifies ignorance, mob mentality and violence against those who are different. The truth is that people who view themselves as virtuous and righteous can be as deadly and dangerous as any blood sacrificing devil cult when they forget the message of love that is supposed to be the foundation of their belief system. We can see that replaying today with MAGA.

I also wanted to paint spooky stuff.
Two birds, one stone.

Now you know.
If you go back and look at the white cards in The Dark it will become crystal clear what the meaning of the set is.
The Dark was a reference to the dark ages, when the church had full control of the population, when wise women and folk healers were burned as witches, education was only for the very elite and anyone who spoke up or strayed from the herd was killed in horrific ways.
Even today people are trying to bring those dark days back. I was shining a light on them with this set. That is one of the important roles art plays in society and I view games as an artform.

Happy Halloween!

I’d love to see what my parasocial pals @getplayedpod.bsky.social think of The Summer Hikaru Died - I’ve never seen a queer horror anime before but I’m loving it! So far it seems to be exploring growing up queer in a small town, using horror to show the contrasting feelings that come with that

Loved the latest @itsrawpod.bsky.social ep, but you guys MUST know how unappealing the word “lumps” is right? It suggests you’re going to eat some weird growths in your soup. That said, I agree that it’s not Minestrone without the veg and pasta, it’s just hot tomato water at that point.

In a very pedantic comment about a great podcast, on the most recent @wrestleme.bsky.social Marc in character as Wade Barrett implied that the song “Heads will roll” was by the Gossip when in fact it was Yeah Yeah Yeahs. So I guess sort it out Wade?
