I think things like the cabbage merchant, and the S3 pacing felt a lot different in an era when the show was released weekly. You watched the show in two days but it took the original audience three years.
Also, such a great show. Glad you enjoyed it! Korra is good too, but it hits a bit different.

Millie, the hat is perfect! If you're ever being chased, you can just let the hat fall off and your pursuer will slip on it Mario Kart-style and allow you a clean getaway.

I only see "Reading the card explains the card" as a sarcastic answer any more, used only when reading the card obviously does NOT explain the card.

I don't play the game any longer, and I will definitely be buying some MTGxATLA.

I didn't think it was possible for a photo to give me more respect for wildland firefighters. Those photos tell quite the story

The only thing I don't like about your campaign is you are running for a very local position, and I live on the opposite coast so I can't vote for you.

Thank you for the answer. This definitely felt like the latter. I don't know the source's political leaning, but I'm also just generally skeptical of any article describing a plan for a fire as "controlled" because that's been used to try to attack forest management tools.

Is this a normal practice or something anybody would do? It feels... odd. Or is this just the journalist misunderstanding something? From the article: "... despite the blaze being lightning-caused, the federal government decided to manage it as a controlled burn "
