I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Lol are they still going? I gave up and blocked them

I spent a decade asking what would happen when we had devalued victims to the point where violence goes from witness to “content”

This is the answer

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Judge "You are going to jail"
"I'm rich."
Judge "Why didn't you say before! We can't have you going to jail, nudge, nudge, wink, wink"

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

No. Because that's not how publicly traded companies work and if you don't believe that you are being intentionally obtuse.

I'm done with this discussion at this point go pontificate at someone else

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

It's literally not

Hasbro wants money. That is their fucking purpose. It's a fucking corporation

They will tell you to your fucking face they want more money

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

You are helping no one.

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

Like again, hasbro is doing what is popular, what makes more money. These are the same fucking thing. I never said anything wrong

I'm just sad that what I want is less popular and the things I dislike are more popular

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

I spread no disinformation.

I merely said that I am not going to get what I want because Hasbro wants money.

I am acutely aware that what I want is more niche and less profitable

I would like you to stop saying that I'm spreading misinformation.

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

But similarly, I'm not following you and hopping in your mentions telling you how to post

Because consciously or not you're trying to influence my opinion much like I'm trying to hopefully maybe get feedback back to wotc about what I like, too.

We're both just people on the Internet

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

And I will keep saying it. Because the same way you perceive me to be ignoring your point, you're ignoring mine. We are both free to post our thoughts here on the Internet.

You ain't gotta follow me if you don't like my opinions, I honestly don't expect or want hate follows

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

Like I do understand if it feels like I'm shitting on your parade but like, as much as you want to remind me that you are actually excited to see TMNT or whatever I too want you to understand that it makes me depressed

Neither emotion is right, wrong, good, or bad. Emotions just are.

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

I want everyone to remember that what you see me post are *my* thoughts. *My* feelings.

I don't have to convince anyone and you don't have to convince me. Please stop saying shit like "but people are excited about it too!" because that's not the point.

I am a person too and I'm sad about it

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 16h

I mean this in the kindest way possible: that is not my point. I, genuinely, not maliciously, do not care

I am lamenting a form of the game I know and love and its passing. Regardless of how excited other people are to see this crossover stuff

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 18h

Probably perspective tbh

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 19h

It remains really stupid tho. Like the entire goal of the set is to be references like that

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 19h

JK that's apparently a deep cut nevermind

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 19h

I don't *think* it's AI but I just now registered the fucking raspberries on pizza and now I am less sure

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 21h

The magic sets look really, really fucking cool. I just wish they got the same focus and time as the crossover shit

Honestly speaking I wish they got MORE but I know that's never happening, boss Hasbro wants their money

yoman5 @yoman5.bsky.social · 21h

I also want to stress for people and wotc folks seeing all my doom and depression:

Edge of eternies kicked ass

Lorwyn looks amazing

But we had edge of eternies as the focus for like, 1 week? Two if we're being generous? And this *constant* hype train for sets 6 months away kills hype for the now

I don't wanna be a constant hater of the game I love playing, whose existence allowed me to create a job centered on media analysis. But I'm so fucking tired of recognizing less & less of what made me excited to talk about this in the first place.

In the precursor to this video (Magic: The Gathering & the Death of the Future) I complain how Kamigawa's lore was changed for no other reason than to include a TMNT reference in its return.
I really should have considered that the entire game system was being remade to sell collectable simulacra.

A MTG card:

Shell of the Last Kappa
{3}
Legendary Artifact

{3}, {T}: Exile target instant or sorcery spell that targets you. (The spell has no effect.)

{3}, {T}, Sacrifice Shell of the Last Kappa: You may cast a spell from among cards exiled with Shell of the Last Kappa without paying its mana cost.

An MTG Card:

Kappa Tech-Wrecker
{1}{G}
Creature — Turtle Ninja

Ninjutsu {1}{G}

This creature enters with a deathtouch counter on it.

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may remove a deathtouch counter from it. When you do, exile target artifact or enchantment that player controls.

1/3

A MTG card:

Leonardo, Sewer Samurai
{3}{W}
Legendary Creature — Mutant Ninja Turtle Samurai

Sneak {2}{W}{W}

Double strike

During your turn, you may cast creature spells with power or toughness 1 or less from your graveyard. If you cast a spell this way, that creature enters with a finality counter on it. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)

3/3
