I met a player at my LGS who I only ever saw playing Bant decks.
They had a variety of decks and played several different formats, but only ever with Bant colors.
When I asked them why they never played black or red, they sighed wistfully and said "Well, I'd love to, but I'm Rakdos intolerant."

For so long I’ve said that Thomas Chatterton Williams is a stupid man who can’t write or think, but there are too many people, including people I know, who are invested in his positioning that the race problem in America exists because Black people are too invested in it to move on

Proof that bullying people for using AI works and we should bully them as hard as possible.
Being seen as too risky due to social fallout for Disney's investors really is the writing on the wall for AI in creative spaces
I don't like praising Disney but this is a genuinely a good call for reasons the investors probably cannot comprehend

Unbound/Boundless owes me $15k+ on a book that in its first royalty reporting cycle had sold around 3k copies of its 5k copy print run
of which I have not seen a single penny. They also haven’t even reimbursed me for postage costs I incurred mailing out the arcs in the US at their request

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.
