I could seriously talk for like 2-5 minutes alone on the dang flavor win of this Shockland and the new Humpback Whales card. (Oh god is this how I become a green screen over a card talking head MTG pundit?)

For the uninitiated, Star Trek literally had a Save The Whales Era (1986) movie plot for ST4: The Voyage Home. George and Gracie got saved in 1986 and brought to the 24th century to answer an alien probe that was absolutely fucking up the Earth because it didn't get a reply in whale song

I need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.
Sydney Bauer@sydney-bauer.com · 22h agoI hate sounding like a conspiracy person but there’s a reason that this Sophie Cunningham thing is on like day 7 of discourse and how there’s absolutely very little trans staff writers driving the news coverage of it.
The official announcement has dropped!

Wanna feel old Star Trek fans? "Trials and Tribbleations" was one of the two* 30TH ANNIVERSARY specials created in 1996 for DS9 and Voyager. We're now at the 60th Anniversary so do the math there. (*VOY had Tuvok's episode "Flashback" where they go back to his time on Sulu's Excelsior bridge crew)
Octism Queen@snowqueenofhoth.bsky.social · yesterdayI’m guessing this is a cold take, but this is a top 10, maybe even top 5 DS9 episode
It really sucks for the hobbit to have Star Trek spoilers right before pre-release and also mystery booster earlier this week, like is anyone even talking about the hobbit anymore?
When I started of Shuffle Up, I wanted it to be a smorgasbord of all the different ways to play Magic. When I see episodes like this week's which ARE NOT Commander beating Commander episodes in the views, I get so happy. We're playing sealed, building decks, and more people are tuning in. Love that.
Another set to fit on Stage 24 (MILL) is the shuttle set - unfortunately no clues in the photos or blueprints as to its position on the set.

This is a 1,600 bed facility, so it will instantly become one of ICE's largest facilities. It will also be one of (if not the actual) largest ICE jail/prison in the midwest.

i should add- breaking the collarbone of a baby who is the granddaughter of a REPUBLICAN US SENATOR is not a bridge too far for republicans. max miller is the villain in this story but bernie moreno looks like a feckless loser, allowing his party to carry on this way. what a pathetic bunch.

"Humanoid robots" are a pure marketing ploy here. They're not the most efficient means of production on Earth ESPECIALLY on the flippin Moon. Plus, he hasn't even gotten them to work fully autonomously. Guess they got to do something to appease stockholders after spending 2x last Q earnings on AI.

You could even take ONE specific example for this: Brussel Sprouts. Science literally found a way to engineer away the LOOOOONG standing punchline of "brussel sprouts are disgusting food no one wants to eat" into "here's a hip gastropub appetizer with bacon" in the last 30 years.
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · 17h agoFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
