I swore off Twitter years ago for many good reasons, so my presence here is likely to be scarce.

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

The Zeta Set is several firsts for Magic: the first SLD lootbox, the first use of public domain art, and… the first set that begs us to make it ourselves, but better. Have a party. Invite friends, plus Fiskar and Elmer. Let’s DIY this poser set already.

Added bonus to ripping your own jeans: You also don't have to worry about the pre-ripped jeans salesman (who's famously terrible at pre-ripped jeans distribution) absolutely stacking it & preventing you from accessing ripped jeans.

I really can't stress enough that my issue isn't with the look of the cards, the artists are brilliant, funny, & sick! Moreso my issue is that a grungy aesthetic is being extruded through multiple layers of marketised collectability. Don't wait for Levis to do it for you! Rip your own jeans!

The Zeta set has a fun aesthetic which has inspired me to jazz up my own proxies in this style! But, to me, SL boosters of cards with art that's "glitched" photo-copy homages to OG play test cards, or even just actual Magic cards, feels very Hot Topic Punk Jacket with Pre-Sewn Anarchy Symbols.

Imagine how much better ESPN would be if they just looked at the ball

i've been working in sports media for quite a long time now, but i'll be honest, i've never bothered to learn the names of any of the players in any sport. i have no idea who the hell any of these people are. i just look at the ball

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam or Alice In Chains I was gonna post Live's "Throwing Copper" but I followed this thread and saw it had already been posted. So instead, here's AFI's "Black Sails in the Sunset".

I feel like a lot of players are already fine with this and/or doing stylized 3D that doesn't roast your graphics card.

As storage and RAM prices skyrocket and make powerful PCs and consoles feel increasingly out of reach, there's only one real option: Everyone go back to 2D

I remembered a lot of the Brian Pillman "Loose Cannon" saga but I forgot that he refused to break character when a hostage situation happened in his hotel.

Looks like proxies for me for the foreseeable future! What a great time for it, too, I've found that I actually enjoy drawing my own proxies. Eat shit, Hasbro!

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

thetimes.comTradwife movement ‘attracts men who are hostile to women’The strongest predictor of support for women staying at home and deferring to their husband is not, as researchers expected, chivalry but ‘hostile sexism’
