The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.

In other news, I have reached my 30's today. My 20's have been a ride of all time with the mid to late 20's being especially nice - given that I have become part of the MTG sphere, albeit in a small way that is nevertheless mine.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Labour were broken a long time ago.
Time to replace them with a party that actually represents everyone - not just the billionaires.
A party that rejects Reform - rather than copies them.

If you replace the word "woke" with its actual meaning, 'social awareness and caring about other people', it truly shows how heinous the world is right now.

HUGE UPDATE!!! We’ve received a pledge from the community to match the first $1k in donations dollar for dollar. That brings the total to date up to $1,110 with the next $450 in donations being doubled!!! Y’all are amazing!!!
With the government shutdown, and SNAP benefits set to lapse for 42 million people nationwide, food bank donations are more important than ever before. I’ll be doing a giveaway this month to help the effort. Each donation of $10 will be good for an entry to win a Warhammer 40K Battlebox! (1/2)

I have no idea if this creator has a film background, but if not, they have an incredible eye for composition. This, and their other works, would actually be a great teaching tool for an editing/boarding/cinematography class. Clever camera angles, strong posing, and easy to follow despite quick cuts

I remember playing this in a Muldrotha back in 2022.
The 3 (2 1/2) resources was a little too much of an ask for my tastes and while I do have Hearthhull (which would in theory want this), the list is just too tight for it.
Mileage may vary tho.

This card is $0.31. That fact continues to astound me.
Strands of Night is such a sweet card for Commander decks of all kinds. Cheap recurring reanimation with some possible land sacrifice synergies thrown in because why not?
Commander players should definitely give this underrated gem a shot.
