I’m thinking of attending pax unplugged in Philly fri/sat if I do will I see anyone there

Mamdani embodies a pro-Palestinian politics that truly distinguishes between the state of Israel and the Jewish people, and truly takes antisemitism seriously as its own problem. That makes him a threat to those who want to absolutely conflate antisemitism and anti-Zionism, whether the ADL or WoL.

This one for the @cheem.bsky.social heads

Spending the next few days with my partner in New Orleans without a tight itinerary anyone out there have recommendations on things to do?

They should have an air mattress I can use at the airport because I deserve it

Today in @thenation.com: thrilled to have @gbbranstetter.bsky.social on how this week's elections should bury once and for all the toxic myth that trans people are to blame for the Democratic Party's political failures www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The public-facing side of American conservative politics more or less amounts to crashing out constantly about a bunch of shit that either you or the weird liars you listen to uncritically have made up. The non-public part, from what we've seen of the chat logs and such, is somehow much worse.

New career path: Telling everyone that I use generative AI for everything (and then just half-assing it with my own brain) so people I don’t respect throw piles of money at me and are cool with the final product being bad.

Y’all I’m so serious everyone has to get out and outvote the racist old farts who are gonna fall for this

Good advice from Stavvy. www.vulture.com/article/stav...

Died on the bubble, magic is difficult and I’m sure I could’ve turned one of those L’s into a W today but that’s the way it is

Playing the best deck this weekend in baltimore, my 75 maps really well to me and hopefully that pays off in what is sure to be a room full of players who feel the same. Most of my playlists are made to be shuffled but this one is made to be looped top down in order. GLHF spotify.link/cfvBMYZIKXb

Guillermo del Toro says “I’d rather die” than use generative AI “My concern is not artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity. I think that's what drives most of the world's worst features” (Source: www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...)

Say what you will about the current standard format but the fact it seems like nobody can come to a consensus on their lists and sideboard plans of the known best deck is pretty awesome to me. Here’s hoping I find out I’m right this weekend 😁

For ages the balance was this- wizards makes cards for Magic the Gathering. Commander, a fan generated format, chooses how to use them and which cards to use. The problem started when wizards began making cards for *Commander* instead of for Magic the Gathering.

Pretty great feeling to be working on a 75 for an event and recognizing places you're applying things you've learned within the last year.

have faith in your own experiences and interpretations!!! let your personal experience of something have meaning, as opposed to trying to find the “correct” meaning

Officially have what I need together for Baltimore! Thanks to everyone who helped!

I can't think of a more representative image of the times we're in

Some folks were worried that they'd sic thugs on the protestors or declare martial law. Instead they posted AI videos and complained. These people have no juice. Their supporters are cowards. They are are all bark and no bite. They collapse when we push back. Remember that.

If I’m hoarse on @ccmtg.bsky.social this week, you know why.

Quarterly reminder that you should go see streetlight manifesto in concert (like I have the pleasure of doing tonight)

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

Been a while since I played this much constructed, but losing to @jkyu06.bsky.social in the finals like I did in my last RCQ is unacceptable and so I got into the mines.

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

tfw you are reminded it is a holiday monday tomorrow

the reporter going “so just to be clear, you guys are frogs now because of the other frog? there’s no other significance to the frog thing?? I would love for there to be more to it than that” and the frogs are just like “nah man we’re here to support the original frog”

being trans is not a negative outcome and neither is being autistic

Wish I had solidified this thought last week when people kept messaging me "but UB doesn't have to be bad for organized play, look at all the extra people!".

@morenothings.bsky.social and i made a friend today

In case my bluesky warriors missed it we’re going on tour this spring w Joyce Manor and militarie gun and teen mortgage love ya

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

I don't really buy the zero sum comp/casual nonsense; the words written in the text boxes these days are completely fine. Magic isn't worse because of Commander, it's worse because there are twice as many cards and they all cost twice as much and half of them are a shitty reference to a TV show.

You can also submit a written comment here! I just did and you should too! gov.illinois.gov/contact-us/v...

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach. If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

whoever gave the 6th point of toughness to quantum riddler, I just wanna talk

cis people there are so many things you can do to support trans people, some harder than others. but perhaps the easiest thing, one that honestly should be the bare minimum if you wish to consider yourself a friend to trans people, is wrest the harry potter franchise from your heart mind and soul

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

This whole section really.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

anyone know who the creator(s) of the $30 Vintage format is(/are)? would love to ask them a couple questions for an upcoming TCC video
