It's totally brain dead eye candy. No thinking required. Probably fake. No reason to care. Occasional cool items.
We really like "the repair shop" for that last reason too.

Already preodered. It sounds cool, your online MtG stuff has been great, and I get a nifty Command Tower. Wins all round.

Not a patch on Die Hard the Black Dog or Rocket to Heaven imo.

I went to a school that has produced Tory ministers in a previously extremely Tory (shockingly flipped LibDem in a by election) area, and even the oddest of my contemporaries was nothing like these specimins.

My favorite play of all time is a two hander fwiw. Sadly no longer in the west end after a 40-odd year run, because the Fortune theatre in Covent Garden was perfect for "The woman in black".
Knocking out 90 minutes in 6 hours is insane.

My objections are mostly flavour based so.... yeah.
Same will apply to most of TMNT i fear.
I really hope the trend is just lots of licenses coming tgrough at once.

This card is absolutely bananas good btw. I was getting 3 or 4 mana discounts most of the game last night.

Magic the gathering card Temur Battlecrier, a rare card from Tarkir Dragonstorm.

Played against Venom last week. Was surprisingly fun considering how horrifying he is.
Shame it's from a set I am determined not to buy.

Having now played my first game of Spelltable commander I might be hooked.
Wasn't without issues but being able to play a nice relaxed game with cool people was amazing (nota slight on my LGS or the terrific players there, but it's a bit cramped and noisy of a friday)

Anyone who says Miyazaki's work is gentle has clearly only seen "Totoro" and "Kiki's", never swinging into "Porco Rosso", "The Wind rises" (which is absolutely heartbreaking btw) or even "Howl's...". "Momonoke" too.

every ai bro who has reduced miyazaki to empty gentle aesthetic should no exaggeration get the judas cradle bc this man's markmaking & passion about telling WAR STORIES

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about what’s happening now.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.
