You've got to be shitting me. 2 million in your LIFETIME is not 30k RIGHT NOW. I blocked whoever originally posted so someone please tell me the original context is 30k over a lifetime/similarly long time because that's the only thing that saves this take.

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

Assuming it's real--this is one of those things in 50 years that autistic dudes who collect model warplanes will inform you was a clear example of how 21st century America was just a reiteration of the Wunderwaffe idiocy.

20 years old. So, the iPhone. It's as old as the iPhone. Wow. Pedigree.

A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

His response makes me genuinely angry. Mostly because he strawmanned the complaint. No one is keeping track of all 33,000 cards in Magic history. We keep track of 1,000 or so "best" or "relevant" cards, and reorganizing that meta-analysis takes time.

Even as a full time content creator, I can't track everything, which means I can't do my job as well as I want to. Part of what I think I SHOULD be able to do is take information, distill it, and pass it onto the people watching. I can't do that because there's too much info.

*every newly released card* my ass. I don't care about the names or the stat lines of those Tarkir color fixer dorks. But the Siege cycle, how they allow different shards to color break a bit, when to use them, etc. plus Natures Rhythm plus Kotis plus Betor plus Shiko plus...

He called us “ragazze” or “bellisima ragazze” the entire time and begged us not to go because we break-a his heart if we go, how he gonna go on without the most bellissima ragazze in-a Queens, no, all-a New York

Called the Italian joint near me. Extremely real conversation ITALIAN GUY: Buonasera! ME: Hi! I know you have gluten-free pizza. Do you have gluten-free pasta too? ITALIAN GUY: Just-a for you I do both! All kinds! ME: Oh, wonderful. Then I’ll see you in a few hours. ITALIAN GUY: I no can wait!

The French police are so militarized they blew up a 15-yr-old’s hand and took the eye of another one. Why are grenades being used to quell student protestors who are unarmed? Now the labour unions are stepping in to protect the students

Fuck Michael Tracey

Jared Holt@jaredlholt.bsky.social

Michael Tracey published what he said was the ID of the "Jane Doe" in the Cornell case. Then he took it down, claiming he just wanted to make a point and didn't want to see harm to the person he named. What he hasn't admitted is that he mistook info on a sketchy site for official NY court records.

God fucking dammit. I know Talarico is probably thinking "aha, this is my technical out because it DOESNT endanger safety or fairness" but God dammit dude. Throw it back at them. They're obsessed with us because they need a boogeyman. That's all this is. Don't play the game. It's a gotcha.

Only thing I'm sad about is that these alternate versions are basically just... Weaker. It's really easy to make a shit ton of little artifacts though.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

If you haven't played it yet, Control is currently 90% off on steam and it is one of my favorite games of all time. It's not perfect by any measure but it has so many moments that'll make you go "oh fuck that's fucking awesome hell yeah fuck yeah" that you owe it to yourself to try it.

Holy SHIT we not going to talk about the anti-Jewish ... Isn't even a fucking dog whistle? God damn. "Pharisee Press!?!?!?!?" In evangelical lingo, Pharisee refers to someone whose legalistic. This clearly isn't that. It's so obviously just anti-Jewish racism.

Back in May, our reporter Suri Crowe directly asked the Pentagon how sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln could be running out of food. Their response? They pointed us to a series of TWEETS calling reports of food shortages “false” and “FAKE NEWS,” then said they had nothing else to share.

Had a guy tell me when I worked at an LGS that black Aragorn was "disrespectful" to Tolkien's IP and that black characters in Magic were fine (he mentioned Teferi being awesome) but Lord of the Rings was "European." Was he racist? yes. Was he trying to be racist? no? (I kinda know the dude). (1/2)

from other interpretations, but also represents a kind of egalitarian ideal in fantasy. Fantasy franchises are really white in part because of that inherited schema about an idealized (hint hint) past era. If we are really deconstructing and reconstructing,

It serves as a point for me on how many white people (idk if this is a problem with non-white folk) have just got these really racist schema in their heads that they just follow on instinct. I personally love Black Aragorn. I think he not only distinguishes the Magic interpretation of LOTR (2/x)
