I get that there are a million inherent tonal problems with adapting the Lord of the Rings into any sort of combat-centric game, but I think the Magic set is the best LotR game adaptation by default because it does not flinch from Tom Bombadil

Re: how many copies of a book are sold in a year: this article makes the point that it is very easy to use these statistics in a misleading way if you are (say) a publisher who wants to portray themselves as Just A Little Guy to the DOJ, or if you don’t have a detailed breakdown of what publishing statistics represent.

As a kid, when your parents are poor, you're poor. If they don't have money, that means none of you have money. But if someone's parents are rich, that doesn't necessarily mean the kid is. Sometimes rich peoples' kids aren't rich kids, they're just some rich freak's exotic pets that can talk but aren't allowed to.

Remember in 2010 when Taio Cruz said "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes"? I appreciated his restraint. You can't just throw your hands up in the air whenever. There's a time and a place, and that time was 2010, and the place was the club.

Chains: relatively straightforward effect, just reads really awkwardly in Magic rules grammar
Selvala: mana ability that draws cards and produces an unknown amount if mana (what to do if it isn't enough for the cost you're trying to pay?)
Panglacial Wurm: can be cast while you're searching your library (what if it's on top and you use Selvala to pay for it but it didn't make enough mana?)
Ertai's Meddling: puts spells on the stack without casting them
Equinox: has to look into the future to function
Library of Leng: not too bad unless you're willfully being a massive asshole
Magus of the Moon: l a y e r s

I love how Scryfall's new front page theme is "cards that judges wish they could punt into the sun"

the sole W I will grant to terfs is absolutely tanking the appeal of that goddamn 2010s "cutesy pastel misandry" aesthetic

Wanted to see if I could accurately draw a Garfield yesterday, and then just kinda kept going. Enjoy my garf crimes.

Every problem of Book Twitter and BookTok that I hear about just seems obviously downstream of trying to discuss books on platforms deeply hostile to length and nuance (and in TikTok’s case, the written word in general)
(Plus the brutal pressure-cooker environment of mainstream publishing, especially YA)
