No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

I'm so happy we're going back to Lorwyn, but I'm also fascinated to see how the Strixhaven field trip fits in. I hope they wrote field notes from the students on the biology of the elementals, the metaphysics of the Aurora, and the archaeological significance of the plane.
Just a quick heads up to people.
The web stories for the upcoming Lorwyn set start on Dec. 8 .
That's two weeks from now. I am pretty excited to ready magic story again, not going to lie.

"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

2004 was... Not a great year for me musically. All of Franz Ferdinand was on repeat for a while that year though, so that's my answer.
It was however, also the year we got Numb//Encore from Jay-Z and Linkin Park, and APC released a bunch of crazy covers, so it could have been a lot worse of a year.

MTG vs AOC is going to make for a crazy 2028
MTG is absolutely running for President and everything she does should be viewed in that light
I'm not entirely unconvinced that MTG isn't also platforming for a presidential run on her current "sorry not sorry" tour.

2028 watch: The most effective ad for Prop 50 came not from Gavin Newsom. It came from AOC.
-Super PAC Future Forward found that Ocasio-Cortez's direct-to-camera ad did better than ads featuring Newsom — Prop 50's chief cheerleader — and Barack Obama.

Scoop: AOC's ad outscores Newsom's in California redistricting campaign
The report is a sign the progressive star could be a formidable opponent against Newsom — even in his home state — in a presidential primary.

Friendly reminder that the reason this fundraising is necessary is to give Corporate Overlords an extra chance to brib... I mean, 'help' the winning candidate.
In other countries this expense is part of the budget since the beginning of the year and it's didn't following laws for public funds.

If we can't get another New Capenna set anytime soon, then y'all better help Seanan out and pre-order Omens of Chaos! I need more New Capenna and I don't care where it comes from (ok, I do, but Seanan is a great writer, so whatever, I'm sure she'll do awesome).
MORE IN THIS SERIES, OR MORE MAGIC?
Both! The sequel, OMENS OF CONSEQUENCE, takes place in New Capenna, and my highline for it is "Magic the Gathering does THE GREAT GATSBY." I wanna write it.
I also wanna revive the Planeswalker line, and write Nahiri and Tyvar novels. So. No chill here.
