the luddites were not pro workers rights they were not a labor movement they were artisans and workshop owners and guild members who were financially threatened by industry because factories could produce textiles far cheaper than their poorly paid apprentices stop with this ahistorical nonsense

Jo Miles @jomiles.bsky.social · 2d

The Luddites weren't anti-progress. They weren't anti-technology. They were pro worker rights. And it's convenient for the tech barons (in any age) to make us believe those are the same thing.

My latest article exposes the political consulting firm that turned the Bernie movement into a $134M cash cow
"Firms like Middle Seat build myths. They provide a costume and a template for candidates to cosplay as populist change-makers, even when their records tell another story."

The $134 Million Firm that sold the myth of John Fetterman

How a so-called “progressive” consulting firm turned Bernie’s movement into a cash cow and establishment tool.

i mean this. If anyone in your life starts nattering on about this, you reply "oh, so you're pro-genital inspections for children??"

alexis simpson @amutepiggy.bsky.social · 2d

These are not "fairness in sports" or whatever policies. These are "genital inspections for children" policies and you should call them that

Chromatic Lantern is an excellently balanced card that works perfectly well in real life edh decks, because it allows players with bad draws a chance to still play the game. It gets sniffed at because people who only look at online lists never get a chance to see it fix a real life mana base

Brujaja, Child of None @brujajagaming.bsky.social · 3d

I remain confused why people think this card is bad. Relying just on dual lands is so frustrating for me. Budgets are a thing and expecting people to spend $2-20 per untapped dual lands isnt okay. Tapped duals exist but then how many cards do we have to put in the deck to make sure that doesnt slow

The dead internet theory is feeling pretty smug right now

What's happening: Elon
Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear.
In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

Americans need to reconcile that this is pretty much what the Obama-era drone strikes were. Any time a prior administration abused its power and it was greeted by a shrug because “we’re the good guys” - this is why you shouldn’t do that.

They're 100% right. There are a hundred other self regulating formats that wotc doesn't feel compelled to mention. cEDH is a deckbuilding choice, not a format. Sincerely, someone getting into cEDH

MTG Commader brackets would be better if we didn’t acknowledge cEDH at all. Everything gets worse any time we pretend it exists.

A person who is part of that loud vocal minority will find this and tell me I’m wrong.

This is my opinion.
