fun little chaos draft deck from last night. jeskai blink is all the rage in modern so i thought we’d give it a shot here too

Duskmourn truly is an all-timer. Maybe UB slop is a secret win if it means we get banger flashback drafts every other month

Top 8 at the first Full Grip Games #Premodern Quarterly with RB Goblins. 24 players was a great showing, can’t wait to see everyone at the next one! R1: WLW vs The Solution R2: LL vs UW TideStill R3: WW vs Jund Wurm R4: LWW vs RG Goblins R5: WLW vs Moneyball Black QF: LL vs UW TideStill rematch

NEWS FROM THE BAD PLACE: maga hat wearing racist misogynist joe brennan has friends pleading for him to be allowed into eternal weekend they made a "joe brennan deserves better from card titan and the north american eternal weekend" petition so i made this: chng.it/ZzShcKGZ2d

Nah man a big part of why the UB stuff makes me sad is cause I know it's extremely popular so they're going to keep doing it despite it making the parts of the game I deeply care about worse. Like I know a bunch of people are going to buy the 6th marvel set but that doesn't make my FNM fire.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

The insidious core of non-violent advocacy isn't that it doesn't work,- it does have some actual utility. It's that its proponents insist that it's the *only* thing that works; erasing the actual history of successful resistance's diversity of tactics & replacing it with singular, doomed pacifism.

Idk stuff like this brings me the opposite of joy this is a reddit custom card with unlicensed art just being printed by wotc with a license It feels a weird level of unprofessional and referential Literal spider man just doing the thing is so on the nose it's depressing At least it's unplayable

I've historically been more pro-ban than most, but I really don't think you need to ban cards when blue/red is the best deck. That's just the game functioning as intended. They left Volcanic Island out of Alpha, and that was your chance to try the other color pairs.

My first short STRESS FRACTURE was picked up for distribution by the Chicago-based indie streaming service OTV! The film is available to stream TODAY, AUGUST 1, either online at watch.weareo.tv or on the #OTVAPP, which you can download for free here: bit.ly/m/otvapp. Yay!

3-0 at prerelease! Nova Hellkite bangs just as hard on the battlefield as it does in the artwork

took my coris out to run one last standard showdown before they have to go play in the big boy formats tomorrow. went 3-0 and got handed a $100 card?! this final fantasy shit is crazy

i want to be a killjoy: we need to make it socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything

yeah i got no issue with people whose job involves the use of machine learning tools for a number of technical tasks but anyone using AI to automate human communication or creativity is just instantly less of a person to me

At a time when fascists roam freely and often even get a police escort while anti-genocide protesters get deported it's pretty weird to treat both groups like they're equally in need of your vocal defense of their rights.

I saw someone post, apparently seriously, “we don’t need NOAA, we can just ask ChatGPT to predict where and when hurricanes will hit.” I don’t think we should sentence thousands of people to death because some overconfident buffoons don’t understand how science works. 🤷

letting the soft animal of my body have a gun

Things that are always relevant to talk about in regards to any principled leftist resistance movement: 1) GenAI is not only theft, it’s harmful to the environment. Don’t fucking use it. 2) Pandemic is not over, and your comrades are being disabled by infections. Mask tf up.

the problem with a story, essay, etc written by LLM is that i lose interest as soon as you tell me that’s how it was made. i have yet to see one that’s ‘good’ but i don’t doubt the tech will soon be advanced enough to write ‘well.’ but i’d rather see what a person thinks and how they’d phrase it

No they do not, New York Times! This is like writing that Santa Claus has IBS.

As part of the #MTGOCreator program I have another batch of giveaway codes for 120 play points! We're gonna do the usual follow/like/rt, but also comment with your speculations on the "dragon storm" enchantment cycle teased by MaRo in the usual pre-preview teaser he does What do you think they do?

Aetherdrift trophy #1 with Big Green Meanies

shoutout to UG indeed! (@lordsoflimited.bsky.social) 3-0 prerelease. Exhaust is gas. Blue Shell is the truth.

3-0, 6-0 in Arena cube playing Mono-Blue!

feeling more optimistic about the mid- & long-term than i was pre-inauguration. fascists are in the minority. most people care about other people. most people do not want to hurt other people. fascists cannot maintain popular support because they are off-putting freaks. they can’t help themselves.

there is no "defensible use case" for chatgpt. do your own work and use your own brain or fuck off

i can see how you would come to this conclusion if your job didn't require you to ever be correct

3-0 at Innistrad Remastered “Prerelease” playing a real nice BW sacrifice deck

my opinion of AI is that I value a person's thoughts and I value probability and I do not value either one posing as the other
