Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

The bitter edge of hedonism is that, sometimes, healing involves discomfort, or even pain. The "pursue good feels" mentality collides with the necessity of discomfort, struggles to coalesce things that seem fundamentally at odds. "Shouldn't feeling good be simple?" it says. "Not always, I fear."

Cannot believe I have to make the case to a bunch of career scientists why percent change should be expressed as a vector instead of an absolute value. Whether the number changed by getting bigger or by getting smaller is relevant, right?! That *does* seem important, right?!

So, I do actually think Silksong overdid it slightly with Bilewater. I think this is an instance where the dial was turned past difficult and into the territory of tedious. Pick 2: demanding/ long runback, gauntlet, boss. When you employ all 3 at once... eh, I kinda think that's jumping the shark.

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence. Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

If there was any game that was gonna get me to stream again, it'd be Silksong but realistically, if I make any kind of content out of it, it'll be recorded and edited offline. Either way, I cannot wait :):):):)

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

It is not cyberbullying or brigading to stand up for yourself or your friends.

"If you wield your public influence to trash someone for sympathy donations, you have forfeited the right to say it's a private matter that's gotten out of hand."

Stringbean 🌱 @profstringbean.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

Catching heat online because you treated people really poorly and don't think that's your problem is not the same as being cyberbullied. Someone having an impulse to hurt you back after you've shut off all personal accountability but deciding better of it makes them the adult, not you.

I watched Essy navigate all this in real time. The anger I have watching two people treat her as a walking wallet, a security blanket and then turn around and paint her as some evil scorned person anytime she asked for what they promised to repay is deep. This goes beyond money.

Look, I'm pretty over any sort of pitchfork wielding on the internet. Too often, it's terminally online and deeply tiring. But people should know about the horrible shit that transpired here and was perpetuated by these two. Who they chose to be. Manipulative, malicious entitlement.

I think this is such an important site of pain not just for women and other people attracted to men, but everyone, because most people find themselves in connections with men in some capacity throughout their lives, and are often feel wounded and betrayed by it, hell, punished for it. It's cruel.

I run in circles where queer nerd subculture and corporate optics are sometimes at odds (Twitch, Wizards of the Coast, etc.), so I think it continues to be important that folks are stalwart in promoting visibility. Magic is for everyone who enjoys it. Trans people belong in MTG communities. Period.
