RIP to Ron Spears, one of the all time great Magic artists. His work, equal parts otherworldly and evocative, was a huge part of what drew me to the game as a kid. He was one of the best artists in fantasy and it's heartbreaking to see him go.

Name a TV show you're positive no one remembers but you. No one I've ever brought this up to knows what I'm talking about.

Yes.

Post an album you've listened to 100+ times.

admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it.

It’s really frightening.

As is every workplace regulation!

A point that I think is missed here is that a patent clerk at the turn of the last Century made a stable enough living to become Einstein. Amazing argument for UBI here. Really loved the article.

As ever, two things are true: 1. Caitlyn Jenner is an awful person who does not give the slightest shit about other trans folks and will throw us all under the bus without a second thought 2. If you misgender her, you also don't give a shit about trans folks except as a club against Republicans

BORN TO DO THINGS I WANT TO DO / FORCED TO DO THINGS I DON'T WANT TO DO

Didn’t expect to be emotional about a rocket today, but that first reverse shot of the boosters falling back to earth moved me to tears. Humanity has made a mess of the hopes and expectations for the future I held as a kid, and it’s overwhelming to see us reaching for our grandest aspiration again

Gross transphobia. Decades of eligibility that produced a small handful of athletes competing and none winning medals, but because the next Summer Olympics are in America, this has to happen. I hate the people who run this country and their insane bullshit.

Is this a good time to once again repost this Something Positive strip that Dear Uncle Randy made a few years back? Answer: Unfortunately, it is. It shouldn't have to be, but it is.

Same. I grew up as a ravenous fan of that franchise, but it's dead to me now and so is anyone who defends it.

16 years ago (or even more, maybe?) Kevin Smith had such a time flying as an overweight person on Southwest that he ended up doing a comedy special about it. How is this still a problem for them?

Possibly the American with whom I most associate the importance of travel and immersion. Him or later years Mark Twain.

General Contractor and Janitor/Maintenance. At least, my Dad's legal Father was a janitor. His bio Dad, whom he never knew and only found out existed 4 years ago, remains a mystery to us.

WEG Star Wars. It's so good.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I just found this. Maybe it can be helpful.

The fact that I have never once had to defend my ability to live authentically means that it is my duty to help others defend that ability. Unequivocally, Trans Lives Matter, Trans rights are human rights, and you'll have to take us all before you take any of them.

Just learned in researching this that it's David Mixner, noted Anti-war and Gay Rights advocate.

To me, Kai's passing is a reminder that none of us knows how long we have on this planet. Why not spend what time we have being kind to each other? Strive to make the lives of those around you better. RIP Kai.

Met him once, GP NJ 2004. Absolute gentleman even to my annoying 17 year old self. Gutted right now. Fuck cancer.

Spain's first astronaut.

Mitnick is better than half of the reason ICE is what they are. The reaping sucks, doesn't it bud? Sure looked like you were loving sewing 20+ years ago.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Fuck, and I can't stress this enough, every "Liberal" who thinks anything other than Trans Rights. For one, our country is being sold for scrap by a group of elite pederasts and you're worried about trans people? And for two, you're an idiot if you think this stops with trans folks.

We're doxxing this gestapo idiot, right?

Other than the part that most of the "follow orders" people couldn't define "obeisance" if you paid them, this point is spot on.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

10 times out of 10 I would get arrested. Just following orders hasn't been a protection for almost a Century. Disobedience is *always* an option.

Oh, the desire to live in an incredibly dull and unexciting period of time.

America has been trying to destabilize legitimate Central and South American governments for more than a Century now and yet I still find myself stunned at how much death and destruction we wreak on these communities. Fucking shameful.

How many youth revolts have we seen in the past decade(-ish) that were organized in online 3rd spaces? "They" don't want us to have places they can't control.

mtg personality test but the only question is "there are 8 people who want to play, how do you accommodate this?"
