guy in my commander pod: the only thing i hate more than mill is eldrazi me, sotto voce as i google: magic.. commander.. decks.. eldrazi.. mill just in case you're wondering if i'm as annoying to play magic against as you imagine i'd be

i made this for Cohost, a better website than you'll ever know

The only good thing about waking up randomly at 4 am is laying in the dark and listening to your dog snore like a dilapidated diesel engine

was pretty pumped about this, until i found out that all the art assets are AI. thats a hard pass for me

Just emailed jess for not one, but TWO commissions! WHY HAVENT YOU!?! no really, i've been working with jess on a variety of commissions for literally a decade and you couldn't ask for someone more professional, creative or dope.

me: absolutely do not do this thing engineer: so... i should do the thing? or do it with a fake mustache on? i cannot emphasize enough how NOT hyperbolic i am being, about a thing they could get fired for no less.

this is really american right wing politics in a nutshell. a man of, generously, middling intellect and piety who puts on a show of conversion to catholicism and goes on to condescendingly lecture the pope. ABOUT THEOLOGY nature knows no unstoppable force like a white mans unfounded confidence

FAAAHHHHHKKKKK ME I just realized I forgot to take my meds today no wonder I feel like shit

i want to be very clear, the one and ONLY thing i care about with regards to this new Hunt for Gollum movie casting, is that we get Lee Pace as Thranduil again. JUST LEE PACE the rest of the movie could be muppets for all i care

Hire Nik and make them draw i dunno, Cael going to speed dating or something

the urge to go with Wing Commander instead was very powerful. sorry phantom menace, but you're a distance 3rd at best.

Ranch Antidepressants

this feels like a stupid question, but do i need a Char Aznable action figure?

My proposal for @westmoot.org was accepted, which is both dope and terrifying, but a topic for another time. the research and reading ive been doing for it has me thinking a lot about the difference between exegesis and, i guess for lack of a more formal term, fan fiction

Trans Char Aznable wouldn't "come out" she would show up somewhere someday as a mysterious blonde beauty named Cinco Benis having already fully transitioned. She'd say something about how the great man Char Aznable has died, how tragic, but humanity must move on. Honestly iconic of her

Honestly, having a Chicago pope is probably one of the strangest and most incredible points of intersectionality in history Going from Medicis to a guy who’s definitely eaten ballpark hotdogs defies Francis Fukiyama

i mean i'm not mad about it, but god no.

"Four green crewmen. That is not their complexion." THANK YOU FECKING MISSION CONTROL. 😏 #ArtemisII

real friendship is committing emotional terrorism against eachother with your favorite media properties

struck once again, as i periodically am, by the desire to do a krakoa era x-men game. feels appropriate on trans day of visibility

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️ Join us in celebrating our trans, nonbinary, & genderqueer authors today & every day!

The best space battle in B5 is the one that doesn't happen.

Saw that Richard Morgan has a new book out, and experienced once again the profound confusion and disappointment that came with discovering a guy who wrote a series based on bodies being disposable and swapable agreed with She Who Must Not Be Named.

i have never been so immediately turned off an author in one single quote

So I was watching the 1993 Finish Made For TV adaptation of The Lord of The Rings, and thought everyone should see the moment where Gollum falls into Mount Doom.

well fuck, i finally found a usecase for AI, giving shitty advice to CEOs that lands them hoisted with their own petards

Stop scrolling & post two characters who bring you happiness.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

away mission and chill

transbians everywhere agree: Pasha hot, book good. (also there's a sale on preorders! you can get 25% off at B&N for the next day or so!)

QT this with wizard schools that are actually worth reading

AI is ethically shit, sure, but even if you put that aside, and even if you ignore the fact that its godawful at doing what these c-suite gremlins say it will do, IT DOESNT MAKE MONEY. its unfathomable to me how AI has clung on this long.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes
