there are few things I am more spiteful of than youtube. I've gone through all 462 of my subscriptions (that number might be wrong, I had to count them myself because Youtube doesn't surface this number anymore) and manually clicked this stupid menu to disable whatever the fuck "personalized" is

woman in white robe singing while happy musical notes hop along to the Song of Creation (it's a reprint of an existing card) the card is called "Three Blessings" so I decided to make it three wise monkeys, each with a hearing aid (actually more of some kind of horn), a microphone, and a telescope "Sigiled Shaman", a goblin is hiking and has one boot on because his card has Kicker. The sigil is something gnome came up with where the word "goblin" is kind of in the shape of a goblin head. Also he's holding a bone and it was literally the last addition because I realized there wasn't much shamanic to this card reprint of Eternal Witness where I gave her binoculars in the shape of an infinity symbol that she's handcuffed to

there's this river spanning three quarters of Baja California that appears on the map, but is totally dried up in satellite images and street view. It's oddly hard to find any information about it too. Confusing+upsetting
Google street view of "El Rosarito" where the map shows a river but the actual photo is extremely not a river (28.63705420570668, -114.02045233390487) Google Maps showing a river spanning like 75% of the Baja peninsula satellite image of the area that shows there's no river (but there obviously used to be)

learning a lot about Auckland
Ligar canal long forgotten From City Scene, published on 25 June, 2006 It is almost - but not entirely - true to say that Auckland is built on a sewer. Almost, because after a fire in the commercial district of Shortland Street in the mid-1800s, Auckland's businesses stampeded to relocate along the banks of the muddy stream which then dribbled down the western side of Queen Street. This stream, which became known as the Ligar canal, began life as Te Waihorotiu or the Horotiu Stream, a tidal creek emanating from the swampy area around Myer's Park and Aotea Square. Children fished there for eels and it was a source of drinking water for the colony's first settlers. By the 1840s, grog shops and hotels had sprung up along the stream's western bank. There were many houses and farmlets close by and, because no laws existed to forbid it, effluent was discharged directly into the creek, turning it into an open sewer. The canal became so polluted it was described in The New Zealand Herald as "an abomination, a pestiferous ditch, and the receptacle of every imaginable filth". It was a constant source of controversy, not least because horses, people and even buildings were constantly falling in. To make matters worse, it flooded in winter. The canal took its name from the colony's second surveyor general, Charles Whybrow Ligar, who eventually had it diverted and boxed off. But one night in June 1860, heavy rain proved too much for the roof of the canal and it collapsed, creating a jagged ditch across lower Queen Street. The collapse proved to be the final straw, and permanent repairs were carried out which saw the sewer lined with bricks and sealed. By 1875 it was out of sight, out of mind. The Ligar canal still lies far below the bustle of modern-day Queen Street, a half-forgotten remnant of colonial times. https://web.archive.org/web/20070928001326/http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/news/council/200606/25/a05.asp

good news overall, but it's still worth noting this part:
The decision has not affected Microsoft’s wider commercial relationship with the IDF, which is a longstanding client and will retain access to other services. The termination will raise questions within Israel about the policy of holding sensitive military data in a third-party cloud hosted overseas.

Card name: "Gratetown Fixer" Blurb: "a rat criminal leaning against a wall" I took "rat criminal" extremely literally and drew a rat in burglar clothes who stole a coin and a watch, and I also put a grate on the ground Card name: "Arrogant Greatwurm" Blurb: "a play on [Pelakka Wurm]" The card is a functional reprint of Pelakka Wurm except with Madness, so I just traced over the Pelakka Wurm art and added some Elden Ring madness imagery (three fingers instead of mandibles, yellow eyes, a kneeling guy with sparks around his head) Card name: "Rehash" Blurb: "a wizard rejecting paperwork" I traced over King Harkinian saying "enough" to Link and made them wizards Lighting Bolt (actual reprint) I drew a skeleton being electrocuted by three clouds for 3 damage

In one particularly damning conversation, an Italian-speaking lawyer for a multinational energy corporation laid bare their strategy to displace indigenous Amazonian communities. The user introduced themselves saying: "I am the lawyer for a multinational group active in the energy sector that intends to displace a small Amazonian indigenous community from their territories in order to build a dam and a hydroelectric plant." The conversation revealed plans for a 15,000MW hydroelectric facility, with the lawyer explicitly asking: "How can we get the lowest possible price in negotiations with these indigenous people?" They acknowledged that indigenous people "don't know the monetary value of land and have no idea how the market works"—essentially admitting their intent to exploit this knowledge gap for corporate gain.

"Saiba Corp Shinobi", description: "a ninja moonfolk. do what seems funny". I just traced over Eminem doing the pose where he throws a rat at the viewer, except now they're a ninja moonfolk and throwing a shuriken. I also gave them bisexual lightning because every soratami in Neon Dynasty seems to have it "Frontline Calculus", description: "a guy with a sword falling over". I made it a roman centurion tripping over an expression of the Riemann integral into some spikes "Twisted Desire", description: "an evil wizard looking at a thought bubble coming out of a sleeping wizard" The evil wizard has pentagrams on his robes instead of regular stars, and is stealing the sleeping wizard's dream hamburger "Varakna Oracle", description: "a goblin druid" I made the goblin raise a land from a graveyard because that's one of its abilities. I also gave him a strawberry staff to continue the theme of fruit druids, and a big ass because I feel that might become a running theme

I've been having a blast doodling art for @gnomebitten.bsky.social's custom Magic cards, here are the ones I did today
"Inquisitor of Leshrac", the description was "a sort of robed zombie" except I first misread it as Rob Zombie and decided to go with it "Fists of Pardia", the description was "a big pair of red gauntlets" so I added a banana for scale to make sure the player knew exactly how big they were "Penumbra Druid", the description was "a human druid with a shadow behind them" and had nothing to do with apples, I just included it because I've been having fun using gradients and also I thought it'd be funny
