Canadians travelling to the US advised to not fucking do that OTTAWA - Canadians thinking of planning a trip to the United States are being advised by the Government of Canada to perhaps consider going anywhere else on the entire fucking planet for their summer ...

I'll believe the government is going to give back the money to companies when I see it

Oh I realize you meant a video segment like the one above now, not cards featuring this artist.

Why? I don't know the details but sounds like the prep work you did paid off.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

No same, and I'll be there too!

Yeah agreed. The event bills itself as being about casual social play, but also has competitive events with huge prizes? Ok.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

They actually do now! They're not super frequent but I got Tears digital for $20 off about a year ago.

You're not bad for having played it or even for continuing to play it imo, and I'm vehemently against generative AI. I don't think people should buy a copy going forward (I won't be unfortunately), but bought it when we didn't know? You're good.

It happens. During the Spider-Man prerelease, I didn't run Impostor Syndrome at first because I had a lot of legends and I just assumed the text stopped after "create a token that's a copy of it" like it normally does.

And it's literally Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man! πŸ˜…

Disney owns Marvel Comics. I have a few remaining Spider-Man boosters - once I've opened those I will have nothing to do with sealed product from Marvel sets from now on. #MagicTheGathering #MTG

This aged well. Card was at least undervalued based on prices up until just this weekend.

Dedham church’s β€˜ICE was here’ nativity display β€˜should be removed,’ Boston Archdiocese says - The Boston Globe The display at St. Susanna Parish features a large sign reading β€œICE was here” in place of nativity figurines of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

The Boston Archdiocese is a bunch of cowards. What's the point of even having a church if not to advocate for and protect the vulnerable?

Hard disagree on voting for Moulton. He threw trans kids under the bus the day after the 2024 election.

Is your goal to get people to concede games of Brawl even sooner than they already do? πŸ˜‚

(and as a list keeper it's so weird to me when someone says something like "I have a free night I wasn't expecting, anyone got a recommendation?" I'm like, what are you talking about and why didn't you just pull up your list of 100+ video games and pick one lol)

My way of coping is to do my best to view my lists as possibilities and not a checklist.

Here's things I've made a note to remember. If I get to them, great! If not, that's ok - it wasn't a task I had to complete.

I remember seeing a trailer and that aspect stuck out to me. Seems like they really captured the way a lot of kids interact with cards. Great to hear the gameplay is good too!

Hold out until *all* air traffic is grounded if you have to.
