The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

They don't want traditional masculine virtues, which is something they give; they want traditional masculine rents, which is something they get.

"Yes, the game has bad things, but it is very clear they are bad. Unnecessary! Games should be allowed to have unsettling things and then you, the recipient of art, should be able to analyze if they are good or bad things without the artists holding your hand. Doing so is, in fact, vital to humanity

A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

"Birth of the Homunculus"

A sorceress astounded by her creation.

This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday!

Things we know about Cthulhu:
-Seeing them makes some people insane but other people are fine
-Recorded in the Necronomicon (book of dead names)
-Has existed throughout human history but white cis male academics in the US don't know about it
CONCLUSION: Cthulhu is transgender

I don't really know much about the Horses discourse but I do wonder what the overlap is with 'Silent Hill 2 remake sucked because Angela wasn't sexy like before' discourse

I see folks who want Magic IP supported and given breathing space.

Lorwyn Eclipsed stories start Monday, then Tuesday WeeklyMTG is showing Marvel Super Heroes previews.

Now, I don't expect story to be sole community focus for a full week. But can you try NOT stomping out your own story with UB?

An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

Asked a friend a question that they could ask the community and it did not disappoint. What would it take for more people of color to feel welcomed and love at LGS/ big tournaments??

I genuinely believe it's impossible to have these three things at the same time:

- An intimate knowledge of the events of the Uvalde shooting.
- A basic understanding of firearms.
- A belief that gun control is good and that police will effectively respond to threats.

You can at most pick two.

Castaways Book Three has finished the first editing pass! We're moving on to line edits and things are good. Editor liked it a lot (and it's his job to tell me when he doesn't like something), so that's a good sign. I need to revise the climax a lil' bit, reminding me of how awesome editors are.

these are both still available to be claimed!

The sooner you claim one, the sooner i can get it done and sent out before the holiday season shakes everything up!
Hey y’all! Another special offer!

I have a FOIL Lightning Bolt & a FOIL Disenchant ready to be altered

For only 80$ you can claim one of these now. These sort of foil alters of mine usually go for 120$ so this is a great deal!

Who doesn’t want a FOIL full art of one of magics most iconic cards?!
