I made the grave mistake of checking the Carolina Panthers score
The Saudi wealth fund's acquisition of EA appears to be an extremely expensive piece of the larger Saudi sports-washing initiative. If so, things will continue to get worse for everything outside of EA Sports.

AI isn't good at empathy. It's good at sycophancy
Social Market Foundation@smfthinktank.bsky.social · 4d ago🚨 NEW POLLING🚨 AI is now so good at mimicking empathy that many people prefer it to their friends. 1 in 5 UK adults have used an AI chatbot for personal or relationship advice – and 54% of them found it more helpful than talking to friends or family.

Star Trek is categorized in the "this set does absolutely nothing for me, but I'm happy for the folks who resonate with the IP and get to experience Magic in this way" pile for me. #MTGxStarTrek
Hasbro third quarter earnings are out, and there's some interesting details. "Hasbro have said Magic's organized play participants during the first nine months of 2026 were more than 40% above the full-year 2024 total." That's an insane amount of growth. ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/hasbro-...

It's been a while, but I've updated my Peasant Cube (and the Cube Cobra link). I'm still thinking about a couple of Reality Fracture and The Hobbit cards, but I'm happy with where it's at currently. Happy Cubin'! 🥳 cubecobra.com/cube/list/em... #MTGCube

We also gotta get out of the panopticon mindset and start reading and dancing to music again and stop video-ing each other doing anything slightly weird and taking pictures of strangers on the subway like volunteer cops. Documenting an uninteresting life nonstop instead of living interesting life.
Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 2w agoI think "reading a book is performative" is the end point of American anti-intellectualism. The mere act of reading is now suspicious to swaths of slug people.

Secret Lair@mtgsecretlair.com · 2w agoYou’re not seeing double. Four Magic artists took four of their own classic compositions through Jace’s Echoverse, and each one came out as something new. See what came out the other side when Duality Distorted arrives in the Chaos Vault, coming soon.
Was this entire country kicked in the head by a mule?

I can't emphasize this enough: UB sets will be much better because of this new shift to telling original stories within the UB setting. Rehashing or just showing what already happened is fine, but a new story appeases the incoming fans AND the returning audiences at the same time. This is very good

New visual designs, new characters, a story built for the set? This is how UB should be structured. A two way street.
