One year of this silly @magic.wizards.com podcast!
Untapped Libraries is going sideways. Because this week’s guest, Modular Cocoon, has brought an all-horizontal Commander deck for us. Vinny & Neale talk about a new Magic format based on Rainbow Vale, feeling checked out from Magic, and exploding corpses. untappedlibraries.com/episode-026-...
Our Untapped Gems(tm) from our latest episode. @vinnyfrancois.bsky.social chose a blue enchantment board wipe, @ajimagic.bsky.social chose a card-drawing tree folk whose name sounds like a pop singer.
Time to post @vinnyfrancois.bsky.social's article again

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive
Yup. It's so tiring hearing that we (as teachers) MUST "prepare our students for an AI future" & "get on the AI train or else be left behind," & I'm aware that some professors are using AI for grading or creating AI lectures using avatars of themselves, but I think if "AI is the future" we're fucked

Paul McCartney, to himself: “Hmmmm, they said it’s their birthday. That’s lovely. (Beat) Now how can I make this about me…”
This week on Untapped Libraries we talk to... each other! We've had a few requests to get to know us better so we're exploring Neale's (@ajimagic.bsky.social) EDH deck with Darien, King of Kjeldor. We also discuss the least interesting colour in Magic. untappedlibraries.com/episode-020-...
There's some positive stuff out there if you look hard enough
Someone reviewed our duo set at Manila Improv Festival as “like watching two waves on the ocean” and couldn’t ask for anything more.
A thought that this is likely to be the worst the Habs will be for years to come.
It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight. As a Cuban, I'm devastated.
This is what I was hoping to see from influencers and independent journalists who traveled to Cuba. The impacts of U.S. actions aren't getting the attention they deserve in mainstream media. My people are being ignored in the U.S. news.
the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes
We are proud to announce that BOP! is officially a 501c3! 🎉 @Shoebox.gg was our first event as an official Charity. We were proud to showcase our mission of fostering inclusive spaces in the Magic community! Thank you to everyone who supported us and came to see us! 💞

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.
