I miss the days when I didn’t have to wonder whether I’m arguing online with a poorly trained AI or a poorly trained human brain.

Good morning

This game is way too easy.

In case you missed it yesterday!

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

About god damn time.

Brewing a new deck for the show live on stream today Twitch.tv/bmkibler

I hear it's going happen during Infrastructure Week, right after he unveils his healthcare plan.

It's the return of @benbrode.bsky.social - this time doing REAL MAGIC! - along with the debut of @jimdavismtg.bsky.social doing Goblin shenanigans. Who will prevail? The fliers (WHO REALLY FLY!) or the little green men? LIVE: youtu.be/mghH7bh7qKI

I'm legitimately curious how much of the collective delusion surrounding a supposed secret extra Stranger Things episode is due to a bunch of AI bots hallucinating together, because I've never seen something so insane about a media property.

Um, Actually... @goberthicks.bsky.social and I are in this season!

Really giving the coverage team a lot to work with in the PT player survey

"You've really gotta hand it to them - they did a great job with their coup!"

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Oh no not my American Ecpress account. Or is it Ecress? Pretty impressive for a phishing email to misspell their bait two different ways, with the correct spelling in an image on the same screen.

Wow I didn't think they'd come out with a spinoff quite this soon.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes." This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize. Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

Building some new decks for our next show filming session and decided to pull some old ones apart. I hadn't really played Sin, Eshki, Choco, or my new Rith deck other than filming, so they were easy choices, and I also decided to retire Chulane/Keruga after too many games that felt too similar.

New Pooka video today! This one for the MtG/D&D fans. youtu.be/81o4F79hBto

Okay I watched the Stranger Things finale again and liked it even more the second time. I have a few issues with it, but nothing that diminishes the incredible job they did of wrapping up the series. It’s probably among my favorite series finales ever. So many shows drop the ball. They did not.

The crossover I never knew I needed.

"What do we say to the god of death?"

And again.

I started reading this and wondering what set storyline it was describing.

Liminal space between years mood

Hass avocado vs hoss avocado

I have watched Stranger Things and may now safely use the internet.

Merry Christmas from us and our matching Oko and Ellie pajamas

begging the media to understand that public services are not businesses and that they should not report that they lose money since that is an intrinsic part of any public service. they cost money, they don’t lose it. that is how public services are designed.

It's a little damp out

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

There is something deeply amusing about seeing so many shows shifting their release schedule around to avoid the holidays (including my own YouTube channel) and then there's Stranger Things just saying "We are releasing exactly when your Christmas dinner starts. You will choose us over your family."

Here's a present you can open early this holiday season - a showdown between ZachTheBold and @covertgoblue.bsky.social! Will Daryl hunt down all of the walkers, or will CGB's control instincts take him all the way, even with an aggro deck? LIVE: youtu.be/Xg2JCjBi7X0

Really taking advantage of that whole "longest night" thing.

Was digging through some *very* old boxes of stuff while cleaning out a closet and found some truly ancient artifacts. Pretty sure these are from middle school, so going on thirty years ago, which is when I last played Dungeons and Dragons...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Big "but what about second breakfast?" energy this morning

What bothers me more than anything about this is that many of the same people who correctly go, "This guy's a crank!" when he's talking about Tylenol causing autism or anti-vax stuff will sit there nodding along like, "Hey, if HHS said this, it must be legit!" when it involves trans care.

In case you missed it yesterday! This was absolutely one of the wildest games of Magic any of us has ever played.

Surprise! It's a bonus holiday season episode of Commander at Home - this time, the live show from MagicCon Atlanta, featuring none other than @benbrode.bsky.social and @theasianavenger.bsky.social! This is truly one of the craziest games EVER! You won't want to miss it! youtu.be/cf0gaBngkVM

On the one hand, I feel like Standard is far too big, leading to an insanely high level of efficiency and super powerful interactions in every competitive deck. On the other hand, I'm having a great time crushing people with my sweet brews.

Good morning
