Saw a trailer for the new "Cat in the Hat" animated movie and might have screamed "RHYME, YOU COWARDS!" in a crowded theater.
I was wondering why the Pooka video died on r/MagicTCG, when it's gotten such a positive response elsewhere.
WTF?

Wild timing with the Henson announcement. This has been an incredible 40 minutes for fans of puppets explaining Lorwyn.

I play D&D because I like epic fantasy. Not because I'm super into polyhedrons. So I've never understood decorative d20 merchandise.
It's like saying "I love the Lord of the Rings movies" and getting merch shaped like a DVD player.

the line is actually "no JESUS for us meeses," an oblique reference to the fact that, as muppets are unable to take communion, they are forbidden from entering the kingdom of god

Things that, as a child, I was led to believe were a bigger deal than they are:
- the Iditarod sled dog race
- quicksand
- the War of 1812
- not resting your elbows on the table when eating

Me: When I cast it, I like to say "I summon the Baha Men!"
@moxreuby.bsky.social: Which makes sense, because it costs 9 and there are 9 members of the Baha Men.
Me: Ah yes, as there are 3 Baha Elves and 7 Baha Dwarves.
Reuben: But they were all of them deceived, because another Baha was made...

I feel like the (possible) new hybrid mana rules for #MtG Commander are... fine?
It doesn't feel "more complicated," which seems to be the number one critique, only "not how I'm used to it."
I get the argument of variance/autoincludes, but in a casual format that's on us as deckbuilders.

![Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.
There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.
What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.
It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiap6asa64jdjb2vlv4c2sdritjrntsibvsv7baj6o4cgwcfgsjeny@jpeg)
