several studies that go into how fast/severe your brain atrophies even with short term use makes me think a lot of people will be severely fucked in the coming decades

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

my little pony magic cards

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

It’s official: @abdulelsayed.bsky.social wins the Democratic Primary for Senate! The People Prevail Over Corporate Profits Once Again!

at this point @dropout.tv should make a pitch to host every Homestar Runner video

Don Hertzfeldt’s full catalog of films has found a new streaming home. Dropout has acquired a collection that includes ‘Rejected,’ ‘World of Tomorrow,’ ‘It’s Such a Beautiful Day,’ and more, with Annecy winner ‘Paper Trail’ arriving September 1. www.cartoonbrew.com/shorts/don-h...

Hi! Here is my last handpainted alter. This art is an original art nothing related to AI have been used. Only my imagination and hands. This card is the #4 on my original cosy fantasy style ! I wish you like it 🥰 It is handpainted on a surge foil sword to plowshare. The card is sealed with varnish.

counterpoint: every Rulebreaker is more interesting & less forced than yet another WUBRG Type Lord Eminence is bad but if there was a mono black Vampire w "Rulebreaker: you may have any Vampire and basic land" would that be "worse" than Edgar? or even "bad"? are literally any these cards "cool"?

Brian Kibler@bmkibler.bsky.social · 2d ago

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.

Vintage Magic the Gathering art! What a surprise to learn that an unpublished oldie for Magic finally gets a release! There are a couple more in their archive that have yet to see the light of day, so you never know.🤞

centrists are so dumb I just got a "uhh, you don't actually NEED to buy food to live" chart eater

imho it's fucked up these cards exist for a book with a Big Event called "The Battle of 5 Armies" and there's 5 2 color pair Factions in the set, each themed around the 5 factions from the book BUT there's not a Battle called "Battle of Five Armies"

Hi I wrote names and flavor text for the new cards in Mystery Booster Commander, so I hope people enjoy them :3 I'm gonna drop thoughts on some of them below 🧵

as a society we have to get a lot more comfortable saying "every single conservative alive is a pedophile"

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

absolutely sicko Theft Commander that's exactly what I want

CLOWN COMMANDER LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤡

I haven't said this on here but when I called 911 for emergency services bc my pregnant wife was dying, the cops wouldn't let the EMTs in until they tacticool-y room cleared the home Meanwhile I'm trying to do CPR stuff at least when they made sure my kid died they didn't shoot my dogs too i guess

Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d ago

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

the reason good transit is not valued in this country is because the types of people who cannot drive are not valued: children, disabled people, people living in poverty

holy shit, New York finally heard about dumpsters. we can't make fun of them for keeping their trash in loose piles anymore

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 5d ago

Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

it feels kind of bizarre that The Hobbit elves have literally zero scry interaction so they can play with the Lord Of The Rings elf cards, even a little bit

Okay, I'm going to answer this question, because it's a big one. Here is how I handled this. 1) I paid money to an online service that will diagnose and prescribe ADHD medications. It does not operate in all states. It's Telehealth.

Kristina Mathews@kristinamathews.bsky.social · 5d ago

Okay but how do you actually convince a healthcare provider to prescribe something that would enable you to schedule an appointment to get the diagnosis in the first place?

wow. what an asshole

Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d ago

This may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.

hi everyone !! i'm dropping another push for guitar/music lessons !!! new slots have opened up recently and i'd love to teach you how to get good at music !! i am also now BACK on this account (in a limited capacity) so i am now able to receive DM's on here !!!

putting a sex scene in oppenheimer but not the odyssey is wild though. can we all agree on that at least

"Buying food to eat at home has gotten 33% more expensive in U.S. cities since the beginning of 2019, according to government figures. In the 7.5 years before that, prices rose 6.4%." (via @apnews.com) apnews.com/article/groc...

Found this image online and it’s a great example of why primates like humans are unique compared to most other mammals! Most mammals are dichromates, they have two color receptors in their eyes. This makes low-light/night vision easier but limits the spectrum of visible light.

This happened again yesterday. The police took over the lakefront in Hyde Park for hours and hours. Each of these cop SUVs parked egregiously on our busiest bike trail at 4pm had two cops sitting in it.

Who is being served here, Chicago? And what is being protected?

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

everyone is talking rightfully about the voice but the shoulder scrunch is crazy it's like she's doing a bad SNL impression of herself

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens
