I checked in on my World Cup post that I muted and it's got over 5k likes and the comments are entirely full of Americans being very American. Even the ones who mean well are just far too cringe.

Alright WotC. You've got a green and black 'school' in Strixhaven, so please give me something for Turbodepths. Make the GB Charm into Crop Rotation/Hexmage/Tamiyo's Safekeeping or something. Plz. I've been good and deserve this.

I think some of the problems with Legacy can be traced back to Manlands becoming unplayable in the format. There was once a time in Legacy where Raging Ravine and Creeping Tar Pit were playable. Mishra's Factory and Treetop Village were staple win conditions when I started playing the format.

I think the big Warhammer reveal show was probably the worst one of the edition. Nothing but boring ordinary humans in every setting.

My daughter has been learning the bass guitar this term and today she performed for the first time at school. She was genuinely great, they did seven nation army and did a double time verse as a topper.

In Premodern since the banning of Parallax Tide, Mono-Blue Stiflenought has won the same amount of challenges as the next five decks put together.

I still can't get over that BnR article. DnT winning a showcase challenge is a sign of the deck doing well overall in the meta, whilst Oops winning more challenges than any other deck in the last six weeks is a sign that the deck is "falling off"?

I'm sorry Premodern players, but Sligh is not a good deck right now and no matter how upset you are in the comments, it's staying in D tier on my tierlist video.

New Defiler rules might make me pick one up for my space wizards. Big long range shooting platform that can crack tough stuff without having to be Magnus is kinda big news. I wonder what the point will be. 220?

Another dogshit BnR article for Legacy? Sure, why not! The stats versus the text in the article: UB TEMPO Meta Share: 13.4% Top 8 share: 19.1% Event win share: 19.4% OOPS Meta Share: 6.6% Top 8 share: 9% Event win share: 22.6%

Data for Legacy since the last BnR. Oops All Spells has won more challenges than any other Legacy deck, despite being under 7% of the meta. For reference, the over-rep rate of UB Reanimator when it got Entomb banned was 1.47, so UB Tempo is pretty close to that. 1/2

"Wow, this dystopian sci-fi film was such a good prediction of what would happen!" No, that sci-fi film was just telling you the stuff that was already happening at the time and juiced it up a bit.

Casting of trans characters remains insulting, they always go for the worst option of having a cis person of a different gender If you're gonna have a cis person playing a trans character at the very least match the gender. A trans man is a man, you gotta cast a man in the role, ideally a trans man

I wish Games Workshop paint pots weren't so poorly designed that they dry out the paints faster, especially metallics. (Yes, I know they are probably intentionally designed this poorly because capitalism is the greatest scourge in our world)

Whenever you accurately criticize the Labour government for their human rights abuses or the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Retail Economics breakdown of their impacts making people worse off, someone will come along and accuse you of being misled by rightwing propaganda. Very unserious behaviour.

Seeing people couching their critiques of all the horrible shit happening by condemning 'unregulated' capitalism shows how hard it is break the cycle of propaganda. There is no mythical "good" capitalism, there aren't regulations that stop it doing bad shit, at best it only slows it temporarily.
