Did a reread of one of my absolute favorite Marvel books of the 2010s that I feel like I have never seen another soul shout out. GROOT by Jeff Loveness and Brian Kesinger.
Hilarious, full of SO much heart, and so sweet it makes me tear up. With GORGEOUS art that shows Kesinger's animation pedigree
A friend I care about very deeply: "Every time we apply for a new place we just don't hear anything back."
Me trying so hard not to sing AND EVERY TIME WE KISS I SWEAR I COULD FLY it's actively giving me an ulcer: "yeah that really sucks"
About teaching an eleven-year-old Magic: we have a How to Play Magic area in the Bibloplex (I still cannot get over the part where THEY BUILT ME A BIBLIOPLEX). A dude came in with his daughter. He already knew and enjoyed Magic, but she didn't want to learn from her dad. Kids sometimes don't.
It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
It’s like when the 2017 Super Bowl ads were like “perhaps we should treat our fellow citizens with respect and dignity” and Republicans panned them for being anti-Trump.
The important thing is that there was zero self reflection.
Reminder that the reason Elon is so irrationally anti-trans and disowned his own child is because he paid one of these gene-editing startups a metric fuckton of money to ensure all his IVF test tube babies are boys... and it didn't work.
hog tuah. oink on that pig
posts from why.bsky.team "Entering day four of "no phone because it broke and I can't get to an apple store", AMA "I left it outside in the sun and when I went to pick it up, it was saying "temperature too high! let phone cool down before using again", and then within a few hours it was gone" "Okay, so full transparency. I did dip it in a pool after it said it was too hot. I was told not to do that before doing so, but my hubris said 'nah these things are waterproof" and into the swim it went. I go in the pool when I want to cool down, why can't my phone?"
okay, so full transparency,
HHHHHHHHHH--
Holy shit, IT WAS.
What was up with all the weird miniseries popping up in that era? I remember 1001 Nights and the one about Jack's grandson being put on trial for the murder of the giant.
I haven't been able to find it again, but it was about a girl who finds a secondary world and has to defeat the evil queen-- she does so by cutting her with a comb, and finds out the queen was her mother??????? I think there was a taking ring.
A man meets Jesus and says "whoa, it's Jesus. You're such a chill dude." Jesus then grins a malicious grin, points to himself and says "Guess again, bitch. I'm CALVINIST Jesus." Calvinist Jesus hits the man with a steel chair. He then kicks the man in his lower back while the man is curled into a ball on the ground.
so my bank account has chosen to overdraft me for an accidental charge and I'm freaking the fuck out can y'all please help me out here by sharing??

Huh they just gave us this as a 4 mana sorcery in TMT
This death camp never closed down despite a concerted effort by many forces to convince you it did.
How I would open Portal 3: Chel rappels down into Aperture. It’s hard going because she doesn’t have the portal device anymore. Eventually she crashes through a door into some kind of break room, and there are like a dozen Chels inside. All identical to her. Eating lunch. Then GLaDOS comes on the speaker like, before you judge me, you left your DNA *all over the place*. I boxed it up for you, but you didn’t leave a forwarding address. And then, well, can *you* say you never got wistful late at night and started thinking about old... test subjects?
The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.
Homelands is a set that I would rarely give much thought to, but Cary found a way to hook me with the lede about Apocalypse Chime. I'm morbidly curious about what kinds of cards must have been cut from Homelands in development, and Cary's work here is great as always.
octopus/caveman (@octopuscaveman) on twitter: "I posted "i am the first man in my bloodline to jack off in an Arby's" on facebook and my uncle replied "not true.""
An email from kym Deyn The subject line is GREETINGS UNDERLINGS the email reads: Kym, you say. Kym, why are you organising another social gathering through email? Is it the 1990's? What's next, paging us? LOOK HERE YOU LITTLE SHITS. None of you are on the same socials. [Redacted] doesn't have socials, Jay won't use Whatsapp, and I don't have some of you on Signal. This is on you. Also?? I like emails. I'm sorry, I know that's hard to hear, but its true. They're like little letters, except I don't have to pay for stamps. Have you seen the price of stamps? Everyone is just using email wrong. It's not about giving best regards, its about being a little freak.
I have finally received an email worth receiving, for the first time in my miserable email-riddled existence.

A good Talmudic story: A bunch of rabbis are arguing over the law. One invokes God to support his opinion, and God's thundering voice confirms it. Another rabbi points out that by to God's own logic(!!) a divine voice does not beat the reasoning of a rabbinic plurality and God should stay out of it
Kind of a Casualty effect?
Drawings of Venus from TMNT in a style like the Out of the Shadows movie. She's wearing a green mask.

So my deckbuilding site is close to completion. I've spent the last couple of weeks really dialing in the systems and polishing the deckbuilding experience, but now I'm coming to a crossroads.
If things to continue to grow, I can actually live off working on my deckbuilder and keeping it gated.
