Extremely miserable due to circumstances completely beyond my control. Literally nothing I can do but it's tearing me apart inside.

I tried League of Legends. I have no idea at all what I was doing. It kinda sucked.
I'd like to understand the game but the tutorial pretty much sucks.

I loved FF and AtLA as sets and hated Spiderman, despite knowing nothing about the 2 I liked and having seen many Spidermedias.
This is because, unlike Spider set, FF and AtLA were well constructed and thought out sets in MtG lore-plausible universes. Their UB status was irrrlevant. They rock.

Other Universes Beyond sets (even some where I know the IP): okay preview season is done, I can wind down now
Avatar (which I've never even seen): whoop whoop! enjoying writing another article about this set, haven't even thought about going back to evergreen content yet
the set slaps folks

Right @mbalazo.bsky.social has informed me that in his hometown there's an English-themed pub called Bollocks. This would be like someone here opening a US-style diner and calling it Jerking Off or something.

Just done with my prerelease for MtG Avatar. Set is amazingly good. Lots of fun stuff. Went 1-2 on Gruul Earthbending. Won my first handily, lost a tight second to Rakdos control, and third got landscrewed and full Boros'd so never stood a chance. Happens.
Good fun though.

Or just have him start the next film alive and well and then at some point have someone be like "Bond! I thought you got blown up!" And then have him quip "you know better than to listen to rumors," or "what can I say? That was no time to die" and then absolutely refuse to explain further

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

Right. Here's my big pitch:
Muppet James Bond
James Bond in…A Heart-Felt Goodbye
Dominic Cooper as Bond
Kermit M Frog
Mrs Moneypiggy
Beaker & Dr Bunsen HoneyQ
The agents of G.O.N.Z.O. want to kidnap the world's chickens. MI5 has a mole (Rizzo the Rat). An agent is undercover as a chef in Sweden.

Right up until they decided that the rest of the world didn't deserve BBC Radio and cut all of us ex-Brits, and probably a fair few others, off. Only a few months ago.
They've never cared about the TV channels they offer, even if I still watch it a fair bit.

What joy the BBC brings; the pure richness of it to the UK. The amount of award winning news & entertainment it has brought: the sheer weight of its soft power - a nation that carries a brand that’s known in every corner of the world before the internet was even a thing.

Plant Biology is incredibly boring - one semester was more than enough for me - but essential. Thankfully some people don't share my view on how tedious all the cellulose-centric stuff is and I'd quite like it if they could keep it up.

This is a fair point: why the fuck do we need gender on passports?
Frankly, on any US issued passport, when it comes to gender, the ONLY choice should be: ✅ None of your f@#king business.
