Realizing that genAI deterioration of the brain explains why Billionaires and other powerful folk get that way. Being surrounded by yes-men desperate to obscure reality from you just turns your skull to soup.
Found a place in England that does legitimately good tacos. This is huge

LoadingReadyRun@loadingreadyrun.com · 2d agoPerhaps you've already watched the VOD of the PPR and now you crave a game of Magic with 200 cards split evenly between the two players? GOOD NEWS! A brand new episode of North 100 Showdown feat. @coachnelly.bsky.social and @sergeyager.bsky.social. Naya Legends vs. Sultai Food youtu.be/kVHJB7ruiOQ
While it's great this is happening, I want to stress that the article begins with "for this release" which means there's a reasonable chance this buying method may not casacde into future Secret Lair releases.

We gotta do something about AI, man. I'm getting real tired of trying to figure out if a property listing is visually legitimate or not. What are we even doing here, ugh.
It's about time Dust to Dust had a reprint, and it's coming in Mystery Booster: Commander Edition. #MTGPauper
A lot of the Mystery Booster Commander cards look really cool, but I'm super unimpressed by the Rulebreaker stuff. They all feel very clunky and forced - basically doing them for the sake of it rather than because they actually create cool deckbuilding or game play compared to normal cards.
It's kinda crazy to me that Mystery Booster: Commander Edition doesn't have Prerelease-style events for LGSs to run. Not even talking about scarcity of the new cards, but Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate was such a fun Prerelease environment that it could be replicated locally.
I don't have any actual input into the Hall of Fame voting process, but I always find it interesting to go through the exercise either way. 🧵 If you missed it, the Hall of Fame is now back and was announced at MagicCon: Amsterdam. You can read all about it here: www.magic.gg/hall-of-fame

Trans rights are human rights. There is nothing complex about it. There is nothing nuanced about it. There is nothing to debate. Either you support humans having rights, or you don't.
After checking out places to rent with Ross's move to England, it's been grim to see so many places with artifical grass instead of you know, real grass in their back gardens.
A whole new generation of Magic players is about to learn not to full swing into four open mana. This card was such a nuisance back in Ixalan Standard, crazy to see it return. #MTGxHobbit
For the morning American crowd. :)
Emma Partlow@emmapartlow.com · last wk.As promised, here are my thoughts on Roaming Throne and why the card has been bugging me for a bit. To me, the card symbolizes a greater issue with modern-day Commander design (and makes games rather predictable as a result). RT's welcome! bit.ly/roaming-throne #MTGCommander
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.
Ross is talking about the history of Extended and Caw Blade and Thopter Depths because it was the style at the time.
