Someone stabbed the former singer of lostprophets. Piece of shit criminal of the worst kind who destroyed a great band. Hope he rots in hell.

Everyone should visit Paris.
Amsterdam and London very strong challengers. If i'd ever been to Rome I imagine it would be there.

But beef in guiness is amazing fwiw. Might go buy the stuff for that tomorrow morning now. Low and slow, start cooking at lunch, ready for dinner. Lovely.

Hadn't seen the patient numbers on that. Promising, but going to need a far bigger study to confirm it. Fingers crossed.

Zero. I own zero. I played against a Venom deck last week but there was no real Spider flavour to it. Just a good Jund deck.

The only reason Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize is that Obama won it once. If Obama had been awarded the title of Honorary King of Limbo Trump would be telling everyone how he's much more flexible than Obama and once made it under a 6 inch bar without touching it.

There is NO WAY this is a subtle middle finger to Trump. Not at all.

Let me get this straight - the guy who renamed his defence ministry to "Department of War", pardoned violent insurrectionists he'd incited, and who is intent on invading cities in the country he supposedly leads wants the Peace prize based on his fantasies. Fuck off.

It's totally brain dead eye candy. No thinking required. Probably fake. No reason to care. Occasional cool items.
We really like "the repair shop" for that last reason too.

Already preodered. It sounds cool, your online MtG stuff has been great, and I get a nifty Command Tower. Wins all round.

Thadrin @thadrin.bsky.social · 2d

Not a patch on Die Hard the Black Dog or Rocket to Heaven imo.

I went to a school that has produced Tory ministers in a previously extremely Tory (shockingly flipped LibDem in a by election) area, and even the oddest of my contemporaries was nothing like these specimins.

Ingrid Bergman was magnificent in every way, wasn't she?

My favorite play of all time is a two hander fwiw. Sadly no longer in the west end after a 40-odd year run, because the Fortune theatre in Covent Garden was perfect for "The woman in black".
Knocking out 90 minutes in 6 hours is insane.

My objections are mostly flavour based so.... yeah.
Same will apply to most of TMNT i fear.
I really hope the trend is just lots of licenses coming tgrough at once.

Thadrin @thadrin.bsky.social · 3d

This card is absolutely bananas good btw. I was getting 3 or 4 mana discounts most of the game last night.

Magic the gathering card Temur Battlecrier, a rare card from Tarkir Dragonstorm.

Thadrin @thadrin.bsky.social · 3d

Played against Venom last week. Was surprisingly fun considering how horrifying he is.
Shame it's from a set I am determined not to buy.

Having now played my first game of Spelltable commander I might be hooked.
Wasn't without issues but being able to play a nice relaxed game with cool people was amazing (nota slight on my LGS or the terrific players there, but it's a bit cramped and noisy of a friday)
