Unfortunately it feels like modern media isn't a fan of risking on new characters so they would rather reboot the same comic book character ad infinitum

I feel like after over five years here and having almost finished a Canadian political science degree I still don't quite understand the motivation for the Canadian monarchy in a way that feels satisfactory to me

Canadians be like "okay well, some kings. just one king as a treat"

Jo Kershaw @mthrjo.bsky.social · 1d

Incidentally, I’ve been chafing a bit at the “No Kings” thing, because there are loads of monarchies that have more limits on executive power than the US does, but it has the great advantage that it makes Americans who want to oppose it sound, well, unamerican….

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 1d

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

don't engage with the thread in the judge discord btw its a fucking trash fire

Elaine @oritart.ca · 5d

To be clear unless Joshua Scott says "this is intended and you should rule as written" I am not inclined to allow this, but also idk why it hasn't been clarified :/

Someone needs to play Rewind as Rout on camera at Worlds to get this fucking rule fixed.

Phillip [FaBrary] @fabrary.net · 5d

Don't get got this PQ season by a more online opponent!

Rewind can bounce a Gravy Bones ally back to hand at any time, not just when it's being played. Ally attacking you? You can negate it. Need to clear a Chum? No need to attack - you can negate it!

okay so when seals eat all the fish its like "they did nothing wrong" and "we just need to rescue them" but when i eat all the fish its "what the fuck is wrong with you" and "you're banned from the sushi resturant"

East Anglia Bylines @eastangliabylines.co.uk · 6d

The seals were 40 miles inland, eating all the river fish. 🦭

Peterborough seals rescued from river and returned to Norfolk

Daffodil and Trifle are taken back to the sea after fears they were eating too many of the river's fish.
