Holy shit that Brainstorm!

"Another One Bites the Dust" was used in a study to train medical professionals to provide the correct number of chest compressions per minute while performing CPR. The bassline has close to 110 beats per minute, and 100–120 chest compressions per minute are recommended by the British Heart Foundation, and endorsed by the Resuscitation Council (UK). A study evaluating CPR chest compression rates in veterinarians and registered veterinary nurses found that Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" helped improve the accuracy of compression rates. When used as an auditory aid, the song resulted in a significantly higher number of participants achieving the correct rate of 100–120 compressions per minute, outperforming other aids like the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive". However, the content of the lyrics was not considered "quite as appropriate".

I am only being mildly productive, but I also found a very funny fact to share with all of you

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another...

Photo shows young white woman in a white tan top with from the river to the sea in black all caps text. She’s flanked by security or police Text of X screenshot: An 18-year-old woman in Queensland faces two years in jail for wearing a shirt that says "from the river to the sea." In Australia, you can bankroll mass murder and sleep fine. But wear a shirt that says "from the river to the sea"?Two years in prison.

I was told that a bombing campaign is needed to free her from a fascist government that controls what women can wear.

A lot of discussion right now about How To Fix All This and one of my ideas is the Toddler New Deal. Policies based on stuff like "Clean up after yourself" and "You have to share with the other kids"

My big takeaway is that network TV is mostly copaganda

Friendly reminder there are over 300 million people in this country. Hit shows got more than 3x these numbers in the 90s. Even more in the 70s. Someone watching tv in real time in 2026 (and is willing to tell the Nielsens) is not the “Average American” anymore than someone answering their landline.

Actually it’s just me going on and on about my fantasy league draft as the trapped players have to nod politely.

there is literally nothing wrong with being trans and anyone who says otherwise is a fascist who would kill and/or enslave your entire family at a moment's notice

I would love to see some of the StarCraft Minis game pieces outside of their official marketing to get a better idea of their size and detail

Nope. Looking at decks, it looks like every high demand card is missing. Wonder if someone got into things while I was away. never had 2FA before, so it's a distinct possibility.

Apparently I am missing a bunch of old cards from my decks, too? idk, like i said, haven't loaded mtgo in years

Yeah, like idk how. I have the Jhoira and Stonehewer ones

I did it, and apparently somehow do not have a Momir avatar anymore? What? I def never sold that. Also, this interface is unusable after years away

I miss MojhoSto. Maybe I should get MTGO again sometime

Elspeth, Sun's Champion 4WW Legendary Planeswalker — Elspeth +1: Create three 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens. −3: Destroy all creatures with power 4 or greater. −7: You get an emblem with “Creatures you control get +2/+2 and have flying.” Loyalty: 4

Whip of Erebos 2BB Legendary Enchantment Artifact Creatures you control have lifelink. 2BB, T: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. It gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step. If it would leave the battlefield, exile it instead of putting it anywhere else. Activate only as a sorcery.

Polukranos, World Eater 2GG Legendary Creature — Hydra XXG: Monstrosity X. (If this creature isn’t monstrous, put X +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.) When Polukranos becomes monstrous, it deals X damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures your opponents control. Each of those creatures deals damage equal to its power to Polukranos. 5/5

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx Legendary Land T: Add C. 2, T: Choose a color. Add an amount of mana of that color equal to your devotion to that color. (Your devotion to a color is the number of mana symbols of that color in the mana costs of permanents you control.)

6-mana Elspeth being legit Standard playable was cool.
Whip of Erebos, reanimate ALL OF THE THINGS!
I have used Polukranos's monstrous ability for X=25
All thanks to Nykthos

the important thing i think is that they get comfortable now with living in federal facilities

Queensland, Australia has made the phrase “from the river to the sea” illegal.

An 18 year old woman has been arrested for her shirt stating the phrase during a peaceful protest of the new law.

my main take away from this is that we should be preparing to deal with a clone army

and of course, the droid attack on the wookiees

Tweet from ‘Gregory Mammal-Friend’ (@cat_beltane): “america is good at blasting off its own dick with a shotgun and as a yank i am utterly fascinated by britain's ability to carefully place its dick in a drawer and slowly but firmly push it closed for two years straight” 11/03/2019, 00:21

Well, er… happy seventh anniversary to this tweet, I suppose

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.

I want every word of this in massive letters of fire in the sky. Thank you, @moryan.bsky.social.

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.
