  I'm probably not breaking new ground here, but LLMs have made it very clear to me that there are broadly two ways that people approach performing a task - people who want the task done well, and people who want the status of having done the task. LLMs are really appealing to that second group, because it lets you get the status of being a book-writer or app-publisher or whatever without all that tedious writing or programming.

  Praying to Heliod that the Echoverse version of Gideon is a lazy, mean and shortsighted bully leading a pathetic little gang in the dirty streets of Akros, and that maybe Jace has to grapple with the idea that heroes get forged by their experiences. #MagicTheGathering

  Oh dear. I seem to have blundered into Christchurch without realising there’s some sort of huge Rugby match on this evening. I’m sure public transport will cope, right? … right?

  A comedian’s most sacred duty is to hold a mirror up to the world, and this mirror should have a hidden squeezy bulb full of water so you can squirt people when they look in it.

  I am a master of the sacred art of talking myself out of running a card in the time between ordering it and it arriving. #MagicTheGathering

  TCG players everywhere know it’s become the norm to use card sleeves to protect your cards, and a playmat to protect your card sleeves from getting scratched up by a poor play surface, but what’s protecting your playmat? Introducing new playmat sleeves, so you can keep your rare playmats in mint condition! Durable outer playmat sleeves with custom printed designs, and thin inner sleeves to help protect against dust and spills!

  A cleaning tip that I wish had been passed on to me much sooner: Turn stuff upside down. Perception can be so lazy and so memory based that you'll flat out not notice how dirty something really is until you remove it from familiarity. Turn it upside down. Turn it inside out. Take it outside. Do SOMETHING to make it just a little alien, and you'll literally see it with fresh eyes. I kinda hate how effective this dumb trick is.

  Great news - the devs behind Mtg Arena are unionizing! They have an open letter to WotC laying out the details, and inviting WotC and Hasbro to recognize the union voluntarily. Everyone who spends money with WotC should put pressure on them to accept this, imo. https://unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/letter #MagicTheGathering #MtG #MtGArena #WotC #Hasbro

  Prior to today, I thought Mr Beast just made bad content for children. Thanks to Dan Olsen, I now know Mr Beast is bad at making bad content for children. Like really really bad at his actual literal job. I don't know why this was a surprise, now that I think about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dwagg5wYY4 #FoldingIdeas

  What are the theological implications of the Daylight Saving shift happening during Easter? Could we end up out of sync with Jesus?

  Oooop! Omen of Chaos ebook is here, time to go read it all immediately. #MagicTheGathering

• Post #1009442

  While I cannot (yet) claim to have read every book Seanan McGuire has written, Omens of Chaos is the most Seanan McGuire book I've ever read. It has weird pets, traumatic upbringings, lying to authorities, a masquerade ball and a mermaid. It's beautiful and perfect. #MagicTheGathering #MtG

  The Secrets of Strixhaven story is doing something actually very clever - It's not really about Strixhaven the way the set is about Strixhaven. The story is more about weird things happening on Arcavios as a prelude to Reality Fracture. This is actually really cool post-block storytelling, and I'm really digging it. The only fly in the ointment is that Reality Fracture doesn't come out for 6 months, which makes the lead in feel much worse. #MagicTheGathering

  It's important to slow down and take the time to enjoy the simple things in life - like laying in bed doomscrolling until 3am.

  Attention pranksters! Due to disruption of international supply chains, April Fools Day this year is CANCELED. We are hoping that a return to normal in the international comedy markets may allow us to reschedule a day of pranks for early May, but this remains far from certain. We will keep you updated! #unreality #excecptactuallyrealrealitysomehow
