In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

Yep, quite the double standard. Gj Netherlands

After seeing a lot more cards I have to reconsider, they did a very good job grounding the cards and characters in existing worlds and introducing just enough novelty that the set can stand on its own feet. Honestly impressive
This thread is my Through The Omenpaths / Fake Spider-Man highlights post.

The pun game is on point.

Omg, this looks so bad 😭
This is a nightmare situation for Scryfall. It's not like other Universes Within (SLX) cards. The card text is different.
This is the reality of Through the Omenpaths… same card. Different name when played on arena. Thoughts?

I am extremely excited to be in the ghost town with a loyal but shrinking core

Bluesky has a growth problem

Bluesky has hit 38M monthly users, up 8M since March

Once adding 5M users per month, it’s now slowed to 1.6M. A 60% drop

But post volume is falling—more users, less activity

It risks becoming a ghost town with a loyal but shrinking core

I have mixed feelings about the Spiderman set but the alternate art for sagas as comic panels is so good!
A removal in green that doesn't need a board then gets back a card and fills the graveyard, well worth 4 mana! More previews at http://www.mtgpreviews.com/SPM

#Eurovision is tonight, and here's a hilarious fun fact about it: Israel has started a massive offensive against civilian populations in Gaza with the explicit aim of conquering the entire territory and ethnically cleansing its population, and Eurovision has aggressively refused to give a shit.
