"Rather than end the genocide, the response instead is to continue firing, doxing, smearing, and attempting to censor inconvenient narratives."

House Republicans sent a letter Wednesday asking Wikipedia to reveal the identities of editors it claims have an anti-Israel "bias." It coincides with a similar effort by the far-right Heritage Foundation to "identify and target Wikipedia editors." www.commondreams.org/news/house-g...

The Spiderman set having all the multiverse stuff, in a Magic: the Gathering product line designed to create a multiverse of clashing IPs, which arose from a desire to move the game away from Magic's original multiverse just feels immediately exhausting.

In five days Vox Union's contract expires. If Vox can't get this done we need to boycott every single Vox property - The Verge, New York Mag, Vox dot com, Thrillist, Curbed, Grub Street, etc. Unsubscribe from pods too. Support their strike.

RPGs I have started & will never finish: - Malört Borg: grimdark fantasy where you get drunk on yummy toilet water & fight your dad - Thousand Year Yoda: solo game of prideful yet stoic frog man wranglin angry young cop wizards - The Mummy vs Titanic: the plot of The Mummy (1999) onboard the Titanic

I realized that my switch is entirely games I already owned, and 2024 aside from a few big titles also didn't include a lot of new games it just felt kind of awkward? Shout out to the games I am excited to replay and stuff like UFO50 I want to get to, but it got overwhelming.

As someone who has done a lot of (fairly popular) public cultural analysis over the past decade while also being in academia: people like knowledge but find the apparatus of schooling in general, and college specifically, to be punitive and labyrinthine.

How do we reconcile the deluge of "the Humanities are dead!" think pieces with what appears to be a massive appetite for rich, sophisticated interpretations of culture & history? What are the affordances/constraints of video essays as a form of public scholarship? As a form of knowledge production?

Working on my draft darlings cube idea, just the best designed or favorite cards from draft formats. I realized there's no white or green rares comparable to Bonecrusher Giant for me...

P.S. I have a pose reference feed! bsky.app/profile/ador... It picks up any of my curated pose ref artists (DM me if that's you!) who include 1 photo and use any of the trigger tags like #PoseRef. So it won't show everything someone posts, but it'll filter out the poses!

I guess the endgame of "this #mtg product isn't for me" was deeply foreseeable but I've been playing Magic since Ice Age and I refuse to play with UB. Really shitty way to be driven out of everything except cube.

Trying to teach myself game dev in Godot. There are lots of tutorials but if I succeed I am going back and making a tutorial series called "game dev for people who hate GUIs". I don't know if it is wierd or not but it just feels awful to be taught a click instead of something I could reuse later.

You are up to date.
