Lorwyn Eclipsed is my first prerelease since War of the Spark! The event was fun, but disappointed there is no way to tell that my Promo came from the event! I used to love collecting full date stamps, but no year stamp to denote the prerelease specialness feels even worse to me! @magic.wizards.com

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.
"What service is Microsoft providing?"
Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

I read some of the articles circulating about the phenomenon of heavy ChatGPT users having spiritually themed delusions, thinking they were talking to a god (or that they were god). Good articles, but one underexamined bit at this stage I think worth teasing out is ideological.

Microsoft is trying to convince the public there’s nothing wrong with how Israel is using its tech or the fact it’s supplying an apartheid state with that tech at all, while stifling internal dissent.

5 minutes into a stream of the game "Schedule 1" I ended up cancelling it & changing games due to being told how the dev is a bigot - I tried the game in my own time to see how deep it went & the following reply to this is what I found.

"don't spend your money on this" is the palatable ask, because we are all struggling and you can google how to pirate anything and nobody really knows one way or another unless they can check your bank statements, but "don't talk about this" is the real shit you actually have to judge people by.

participating in an organized boycott – not a haphazard, individual one – of a company as large as microsoft will always pose complex questions on a long enough timescale. but skipping the oblivion remaster weeks after bds declared microsoft a priority target? easy. a complete no brainer

one of the world’s wealthiest companies taking 30% of all revenue from every struggling indie dev as a flat fee.. & taking LESS revshare from AAA games

Valve could easily lower their 30% revenue cut for small games and it wouldn't cost them much (Apple and Google do 15%) but Steam doesn't have any strong competition and devs want to be on Steam either way. IMO if indies got slightly more money, there would also be more viable games to compete with.

“gangs” in the form of hierarchical criminal enterprises are effectively an urban legend. The concept functions almost exclusively as a tool for prosecutors to apply conspiracy charges and longer sentences to crimes committed by minorities.
One important fact this grotesque farce has shined some needed light on is that immigration judges are entirely too happy to rubber-stamp ICE determinations that someone is a gang member based on essentially no evidence.
NEW: DOJ finally files its response. They continue to refuse to provide any information about any steps they are taking to bring him back, suggesting they are not taking any. They again offer nobody with personal knowledge and simply cite Bukele's (utterly false) claim that he can't do anything.
