Lmao at "dignity" and "United States Military" in the same sentence.

Knowing literally anything about the USA's foreign policy at like, any point in history ever, immediately makes it clear they never had any.
The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Definitely check this out, there's actually a bunch of random bullshit that hides posts. Wish this kinda thing was opt-in, not opt-out. :\
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I can only hope that politicians everywhere see that they, like @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, can run on a platform of people over profit and not only win, but have an electorate that truly supports them instead of being defeatedly resigned to vote for them.

Congrats Zohran and congrats New York!
in case anyone hasn't watched the full thing, do it. it's a damn treat.

I don't think I realized it until now, but I'd been waiting my whole life to hear a politician sound like they want the people to govern with them

Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement

• Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Can anyone confirm for me how firebending will interact with Ashling, Leyline Tyrant, etc?
I'm assuming the "this mana lasts until end of combat" just extends how long the mana would last normally and isn't a hard limit that will interfere with Ashling, but I wanted to check.

Always: mad love to everyone protesting against corrupt tyranny - but please do ensure, if you haven't already, that you join liberatory groups after the protest. Mobilisation without organisation is a parade.

The situation is too dire for us to not push beyond disagreeable placards. Solidarity ✊

@dropout.tv I don't know where else to say this, but I'd love a way to save caption settings. I prefer a dropshadow on the text rather than a background window, and it's mildly inconvenient to re-set it all the time, lol.

Love what y'all are doing!

The last ceasefire was broken by Israel hours into the agreement.

The current "peace" plan *may* end the immediate bloodshed & let needed aid in, but it's no roadmap to Palestinian sovereignty or liberation.

Sanctions, divestments, & embargos against Zionist occupation are still required.

We're not even 3 days into Omenpaths being out in Arena and I'm already at the point where, if I have to play against another Scions of the Ur Spider in Standard Brawl, I'm gonna scream. I am begging y'all to build another, more interesting deck pls.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people.

These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

Many of us on the research and countering authoritarian academic side have been watching and speaking about the fact that there is a large bad faith effort by trolls going on using what we call grab bag signifiers

I would love to know if concessions have increased in brawl recently with the introduction of all these high-power cards. I imagine fewer people are willing to watch someone manually play out a rofellos/staff of domination loop on arena than in paper where you can just say "I make infinite mana."

there is a pervasive business model that seems to have taken over so many things, including magic

which is to no longer focus on making anything truly good, and instead shotgun blast a spread of mediocrity that casts as wide of a net as possible to try and appeal to every person all at once

@playtowinmtg.bsky.social Hey, wanted to tell Cam about a weird interaction I noticed. I have an Etali deck on Arena and I realised if you have the FF adventure/land cards in your deck, Etali doesn't stop for them because they're lands,

Echoing this sentiment, I have always appreciated the work that wikipedia has done and have donated when able. Do not ruin that good will by appending a misinformation machine to your website.
@wikipedia.org i have been a donor for years and I will cancel immediately if I see AI slop.
Wikipedia wanted to use AI summaries at the top of article pages. Editors said please please don't www.404media.co/wikipedia-pa...

Hi mem! Is @memoriamatters.bsky.social pronounced mem-ori-ah (rhymes with euphoria) or mem-or-eeah (rhymes with diarrhea)? Because I feel like it's probably the former but the latter has been living in my mind like cursed, forbidden, knowledge.

Please banish these wicked thoughts from mine own mind
