When I say Magic card art used to be better, this is what Iโ€™m referring to.

As a Canadian watching from afar, the grassroots resistance Iโ€™m seeing out of Minneapolis is the first thing Iโ€™ve seen since November, 2024 that makes me believe weโ€™re gonna win.

Emojis are vibes based, and trying to explain their meaning with words makes you immediately wrong.

Listen, scamming crypto investors is the first karma positive thing Adams has ever done.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an โ€œNYC Tokenโ€ and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.

Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 millionโ€”a move called a rug pull.

My dear friend @sheilawilliams.bsky.social is ill and has been hospitalized with a brain aneurysm.

She has been a rock for so many writers, and has worked quietly and self-effacingly to continue to broaden the range of voices published in Asimov's.

I was having an extremely bad time last year. I started experiencing excruciating pain in my right arm, pain that lasted for months (it's ongoing now). When Hollow Knight Silksong came out, I didn't know if I'd even be able to play it. On Silksong and suffering: www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...
Four months and 40 hours later: my epic battle with 2025โ€™s most difficult video game
When Hollow Knight: Silksong came out last summer I was in so much pain that I didnโ€™t know if Iโ€™d be able to play it. Could a video game teach me anything new about suffering?

She time travels, right? In the ending? Itโ€™s a time loop where she plants the memory seed on Viewros, and then next arc will be about saving the Lamorn and correcting whatever went wrong with Sylux?
