To build a better world we need not all be heroes - but if the courage of Mayor Bagayoko inspires you to strive for similar such heroism, I'll be the last to dissuade you. ✊ Solidarity with the French students & workers. Vive la Commune!

Good morning you beautiful lot! In 2 weeks we've smashed the £10k, plus the £1k our comrade was going to fund himself, plus £500+ that we are using to support other antifascist comrades impacted by police violence! Donations will close soon, but you can still donate to Bristol Defendant Solidarity:

Respectfully, you've misunderstood: this wasn't arguing that Trump wouldn't do these things - it was that Liberals were already doing these things whilst trying to convince anti-genocide & anti-war crowds to vote for them.

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.

Oh, and we're still LITERALLY SENDING ARMS TO ISRAEL. Literally THE thing that should be at the top of the "No Longer Doing Business With You" list has not & likely never will be revoked. Labour are only sad Palestinians are being killed because it's an annoying polling conundrum during elections.

Miliband can preen about how invested his mum was in Palestine's struggle, about how bad (not genocidal though, he mustn't say THAT word) things are in Gaza & the West Bank. But it's still his government dragging nanas to Belmarsh for holding cardboard, supposedly "right" to be outraged.

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.

Personally I'd treat people playing Harry Potter Magic cards the same as I would someone casting Invoke Prejudice, or who unrolls a playmat to reveal an AI generated bikini model: "Are you aware what this conveys?" [No] "I'll hold your hand through this..." [Yes] "Find someone else to play with."

Pumpkin Spice8Rack @spice8rack.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I think this is the correct assessment. A boycott would have to extend beyond not-buying the set & into a refusal to engage with the use of those cards: to make owning & using the game objects frustrating or unworkable in "community" spaces. Or, indeed, a significant exodus of talent (& wallets)

A HP set would probably sell really well! But new players would enter a space hostile to, or at least *uncomfortable* with the presence of pieces that represent direct funding for trans repression. The game would continue, but bleed an irreplaceable amount of already tenuous good-will.

Trans & nonbinary people pioneer much of Magic design, analysis, & game theory & our allies in this space run internationally renowned fundraisers in our cause. We KNOW what HP money funds. Artists would drop. Judges would resign. Joanne's scribblings getting the MTG treatment is a nonstarter.

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.

"That's a nice argument, but I've already made a meme depicting you as the raging & unsteady Urborg Yargle & I as the stoic & stacked Otaria Yargle."
A blue Yargle card & black Yargle card from Reality Fracture. The former is the Echoverse version & the latter is the normal multiverse version. They have inverted power & toughnesses (3/9 & 9/3) & the former is bottom heavy whilst the latter is top heavy

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.
