Anyone else think it's odd that the US just lost one of its last major munitions producer on the day the Nobel peace prize was awarded? The world has basically run out of high explosives and has no immediate capacity to scale back up to produce it again. Could be coincidence but it's kinda spooky.

This ruling flew under many radars given the big rulings on whether deployment itself was legal under Title 10. But it’s very impactful.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Duskmourn haunts you too?

It's honestly one of my top favorite settings in Magic. When the flavor hits right it transcends.

We stand in the shadow of the greatest evil in our time and pray for a choosen hero which will never come. Our chosen champions are powerless, spineless, or corrupt. We must be the change we want in the world ourselves. We must act less we seal our own tombs in convenient silence.

Agreed, but those that author history love a hero.

It's easier to glorify the actions of the individual over an organization. Convenient heroes to whitewash.

It's easier to make an outlier that stood up a hero and erase a grassroots movement, like rosa parks.

It is insidious manipulation.

I think it was the cinnemassacre channel, years ago, that made a big list of all the wacky combinations from the old cartoon and tried them all.

Hmm both are odd costed... how unfortunate.

Joke aside, very cool cards.

A fan proxy of Mtg Edge of Eternities card Mutinous Massacre reskinned with art by genzoman of namco properties. The primary featured one is Cats from the game Zero Wing. An old version of the Arificer app was used (one that doesn't use ai) so power/toughness was unable to be removed.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Imagine the pinacle of card design. A human delivery person that makes a (pizza) food token that gets a big mana discount after turn 3. Aka being late.

No probs, the Gorillaz are awesome and your project idea is super cool.

Raztool @raztool.bsky.social · 6h

Totally. It works fine the way it is atm. I would like the extra options from a rules change, but am not torn without it.

It is truly for wotc and their orbit to decide either way.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Have a plan for how you'll showcase the altered deck digitally?

When I made my Mario Kart World full proxy deck someone recommended Cube Cobra, but you have to host the images somewhere else. Like imgur.

It’s official! I can talk about it!

I’ve spent the last 2+ years leading the narrative for the Magic: the Gathering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set!

I’m excited to see all of this release! TMNT is such a weird, wild franchise that meshes weirdly well with Magic
