I think there should be international law which is rigorously enforced to prevent and punish crimes against humanity. This is sadly an outlandish and extremist opinion according to centrists.

Given the policies and ideology of Labour, it makes sense that everyone supporting them still is a openly a massive transphobic piece of shit.

If our government were even remotely decent, the response to fuel prices would be to further subsidise public transport to the point of making it free. Instead the government will be helping to murder brown people in other countries instead.

I wish the Ork buggies were good and expensive in points so you could buy a Speed Freaks army relatively cheaply. Make the buggies like 180 points and worth the points and you'll get me buying them Games Workshop

Look at the state of this bigot. They would rather attack an institution solely focused on preventing genocide than admit their bigoted party is killing trans people. Disgusting.

Daemon Prince conversion took another big step towards completion today. I also hand wrote something on a scroll. Not sure how I will write on the other bit as that looks mighty tricky. Got some basing and highlights to go along with touch ups

When I go to the trouble of making a big video tier list with a bunch of data and someone decides to be rude about it in the comments, why do they bother? They must know I can just click the "hide from channel" and force them to scream into the nothingness forever?

Open call for the full ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza on the Jerusalem Post. This is Israeli political culture, and as the author note: βThis is not radical right-wing radicalism. It is merely sound and sober political science.β Genocide as as a science.

The false positive rate on the sex tests the Olympics are going to use mean that of the 13000 odd athletes, they will incorrectly ban 130 of them from competing by their own standards. And they are making the athletes pay for it. Just misogyny all the way down.

I think it's a shame how modern design has completely removed Prison decks. Nobody want them to be the best deck, but they should exist and be viable. Premodern is a great home for all the sickos out there.

So when she had on someone referencing specific detailed studies, she entirely dismissed them, then she had a proper transphobe call in and she said "You are right" a bunch of times and joined in with her calling female boxers "biological males". LBC going out of business would improve the UK.

That Foggerty woman of LBC being virulently transphobic again. She has a guest who talks about the ten year review of all studies showing that she's wrong and her reply is "as I understand it there are more studies that say the opposite" with no citation or anything. Despicable bigotry

The Legacy format right now is actually very unhealthy IMO. The only two viable "fair" strategies in the format are UB Tempo and the UW Phelia-Riddler-Tamiyo shell. Meanwhile Doomday, The Epic Storm, Oops, Doomsday and Karn Ring all doing really well. Nothing else gets much of a look in.

My updated guide to Jund in Premodern is now available. It has a sideboarding matrix for 22 matchups as well as a discussion of the philosophy of the deck and card choices. This is the deck I've gone back-to-back undefeated in the swiss with at big UK quarterlies.

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 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"?

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
