CW// Rape I despise seeing "mistake" used RE: The Cornell 7. It's a "mistake" to make an Instagram group chat when sending the same reel to multiple friends. These men (allegedly) deployed digital communication infrastructure for the purpose of organising sexual abuse. They're not the same thing.

This is perhaps the funniest way @spice8rack.bsky.social was right, one for the books.

Every time a discourse kicks off over whether AI music, literature or art will be "as good as" the real thing, I'm always amazed more people don't cite that **there already are** creative pursuits where human-free spectacles have been available for decades, and nobody has ever wanted to watch them.

Headline: Foreign secretary addresses Israel-Gaza war
Text: Miliband says Labour will stand against antisemitism wherever it finds it, and stand against those who seek the destruction of Israel.

But the foreign secretary says this "cannot justify the suffering the Netanyahu government has inflicted in Gaza and the West Bank", adding that it is a "stain on the conscience of the world".

He says to those who have been "moved and outraged by the plight of Palestinian people - we hear you, you were right".

“Under Andy’s leadership, we have reset our approach. We call out ethnic cleansing by the settler terrorists in the West Bank, we call out the evidence of war crimes in Gaza, we call out Israel’s illegal occupation of Gaza," he says.Screenshot of the BBC website.

Does @magic.wizards.com not know how sacred trans rights are to those who make Magic & the community surrounding it? We can debate the efficacy of advocacy-through-products; But this'd be one of the few IPs that could organically incite an impactful boycott across play, commentary, & production.

The lovely folks at Longmouth sent me one of their new playmats & a few of these cool modular tokens! Ain't they nice? Look at that teapot asshole! I love him!
A watercolor style playmat with a variety of characters & faces (wee flame sprites, painted cherub heads, what looks to be a tentacled alf?) flanking a central pillar, looking like a candelabra by way of painted script.Two slime green tokens. One labeled "artifact" the other "creature". The former has a yellow crunched up kettle with eyes & a smile tooting out blue clouds with symbols denoting Magic's artifact types: Key (clue), apple (food), gems (treasure), syringe (mutagen), blood. The latter has an amalgam creature with a mouth hand, leaf hair, a zombie face & a goblin skull as its other hand.

Both tokens have rotating bits on their corners which turn to change subtypes, quantity, power & toughness, & keywords.A close up of the Long Mouth signature on the playmat

I finally got a "brilliant" move on chess.com &, most importantly, DIDN'T immediately balls it up afterwards 😭 ♟️ 🥂
Chessboar showing white pawns on h2, g2, f2, c2, & a2 with Rd1, Rg6 & Kc1. There are black pawns on c5, c6, & a7 with Rf8, Rd6, Bb2, & Kc8.

Spice (black) played Bxb2+ last turn, forcing the opponent into either Kxb2 (the chosen line) or Kb1. Either way, Spice can then (& did) follow up with Rxg6 as the bishop had previously been blocking line of sight between the two rooks on f6. The opponent resigned after that move.

I find no *joy* in Milo Yiannopoulos getting detained by ICE & facing deportation - Whilst he reaps what he sows, it means marginalized people too continue to suffer under the hateful fruits of his advocacy - But I certainly don't have a single atom of sympathy in my body for the traitorous scrote.
Headline: Milo Yiannopoulos Wanted Millions Deported. He Didn't Mean Himself.

Subheading:
"I mean bad immigrants," Yiannopoulos said in a 2016 interview with Joe Rogan. "I don't mean handsome, charming, successful, blonde-haired British immigrants."

I adore this: Through the Omenpaths were stickers placed on top of Spider-Man cards whilst digital rights were still in limbo - to be silently removed once the "real" cards were allowed to exist. Here one is, however, washed out & shattered. A broken simulation poking through the "real" article.
