Christina Koch being greeted by her dog after returning from space is the dose of Monday hopium we all needed 💕

I would be very surprised if this sees any play, the rate is so much worse than JED that I think the only use case is when you have SSM and no payoffs in hand and that seems very fringe to me

The Moon! The Sun's corona! A crewed spacecraft! Oh my!

HOLY SHIT

Rule 608.2b from the magic comprehensive rules: 608.2b If the spell or ability specifies targets, it checks whether the targets are still legal. A target that’s no longer in the zone it was in when it was targeted is illegal. Other changes to the game state may cause a target to no longer be legal; for example, its characteristics may have changed or an effect may have changed the text of the spell. If the source of an ability has left the zone it was in, its last known information is used during this process. If all its targets, for every instance of the word “target,” are now illegal, the spell or ability doesn’t resolve. It’s removed from the stack and, if it’s a spell, put into its owner’s graveyard. Otherwise, the spell or ability will resolve normally. Illegal targets, if any, won’t be affected by parts of a resolving spell’s effect for which they’re illegal. Other parts of the effect for which those targets are not illegal may still affect them. If the spell or ability creates any continuous effects that affect game rules (see rule 613.11), those effects don’t apply to illegal targets. If part of the effect requires information about an illegal target, it fails to determine any such information. Any part of the effect that requires that information won’t happen.

The spell still has a legal target so it just still resolves.

The game cares about the spell having at least one legal target, it doesn't care that the effect won't do anything when the spell resolves

The copy text does nothing but the spell resolves and that includes the paradigm part

This says target player so they need to give you shroud too somehow

Happy trans day of visibility!

Today's a great day to drop a few bucks in any trans folks' GFMs, Patreons, whatever, to help them live better lives.

Trans folks drop your links/boost others for visibility!

thoughts on today:

1) the protests are good, actually

2) you should go to one of you can

3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy

4) you might meet people who you can organize with

5) there are more of us than there are of them

6) we are going to win

An inspect elemented version of an exerpt from the first Strixhaven story. The editied piece of text reads: "He must have known what I was thinking. 'I lost my brother, Jazal. The only member of our pride who cared about me. He died simply because our Boros Energy pilot needed me to flip to win.'"

damn, magic story hits different nowadays...

Congrats!!!

I went to Owamni and it was exceptional, that was a fantastic recommendation! I really loved the stuffed peppers

took a break from slaying 2 spires to qualify for the PT that matters the most :3 (the limited one)

Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike.

When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players.

That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. 💪

Spellementals Update 3/5 Hi everyone!

I just published an update to the Boulder Spellementals guide ahead of this weekend's RCs and Spotlight. This update is FREE to make sure anyone who subscribed earlier can access it - hopefully this will help some cool Crab gamers crush it.

perfect representation of the vicious asininity of our persecution and the banal mechanisms of its implementation: these regular-ass people, the staff at the dmv, dutifully inflicting whatever absurd degradation they're told, no matter how blatantly, cruelly pointless. would you do that? will you?

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.
