Hmm. Yeah I'd be cautious about that if it were me. I think you have to be a grown man before you can be accused of mansplaining.

Now is the time to be getting connected to your community. Now is the time to know who your neighbors are. Now is the time to know who your alderman's Chief of Staff is. Now is the time to SHOW UP.

FIND SOMETHING! A neighborhood association, a book club, a parents group, a school council, a neighbor, a coffee date, ANYTHING.

From the article, it sounds like the main rationale was to make it align with how the rest of MtG works. Not new, but that was the main point.

People yearn to be the first to pose the "Next Big Radical Question TM" of the day. These annoyingly tend to multiply when uncertainty is on the horizon, but are often ill-conceived, groundless, and lacking in empathy or understanding of long term dynamics. Go outside and touch grass.

Wow. Just wow.

The only surefire way to introduce a mimic into your D&D scene is to say - out loud - in front of your DM - "Wow I sure hope this treasure chest isn't a Mimic!".

Same! My favorite is the "slams on the brakes and looks confused followed by apologetic".

I've begun a policy *admittedly dangerous* of simply walking into the stop-signed crosswalks without looking. You can fucking hit me if you want.

Tom Flood @tomflood.bsky.social · 23d

I never want to see another human trot across a crosswalk, hurry their stroller/kids/mobility device or rush a senior resident through an intersection or any road. It’s ridiculous, like we’ve been gifted some incredible act of patience and kindness from our auto overlords.

Is it really mirrored? Or is it just triple glazed so it looks more opaque?

This is... just so lackluster. Where's the innovation? Is there no other way to interact with the river than to look at it from a busy dog pack? What about a kayak marina? River taxi? So disappointed. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/04/f...
