Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

It feels really performative at this point, but a reminder that it’s National Day of Mourning for Native folks

Relatedly, thousands of Native women are still disappearing and agencies are doing fuck all about it

I just realised that intentional or not Web-Slinging only tapped creatures makes sense, because of how Spidey has grabbed people since his first Appearance.
Cover of the comic book Amazing Fantasy 15. Spider-Man swings between buildings saving a man. Silk, Web Weaver {2}{G}{W} Legendary Creature — Spider Human Hero Web-slinging {1}{G}{W} (You may cast this spell for {1}{G}{W} if you also return a tapped creature you control to its owner’s hand.) Whenever you cast a creature spell, create a 1/1 green and white Human Citizen creature token. {3}{G}{W}: Creatures you control get +2/+2 and gain vigilance until end of turn. 3/5 Illustrated by Veronica Fish

There are few things sadder than a card that won't fit into any of your other custom categories, so it sits alone by itself, writing poems wearing fingerless gloves and listening to Muse.

This white lipped pit viper is far from being my largest model but it represents some of the most painstaking detailing I've ever done. The scales took dozens of hours to plan out so that they looked right along the entire length of the twisting and turning body.

Der Verband der Familienunternehmer möchte mit der AfD "ins Gespräch kommen".
Ein flüchtiger Blick auf die Liste der im Präsidium vertretenen Unternehmen offenbart:
Kontakte zu Nazis sind Familientradition, vom Propagandisten der Judenverfolgung Hermann Röchling bis zu Himmlers Freund Dr. Oetker.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We cannot let these people rehabilitate themselves. The country needs a massive rejection of the republicans and it needs to be for a long duration.

Folks need to commit themselves to that reality.

Too many folks don't hate these people enough.

Sigh. Don't sleep on this, folks.

I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.

You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.

This is what comes after Trump.
