thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"

The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"

One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need.

Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

I think there's too many things wrong with Spiderman to blame any one thing on the set's failure, but the thing it feels like it caps off on the heels of MKM/OTJ is you need the majority of your work to be earnest to earn a dose of snark, not the reverse.

it wasn't the impossible to keep up with release schedule

it wasn't pivoting the set from being made for edh to being made for standard

it wasn't making a set too small for limited to be any good

it wasn't having such little faith in the product that we didn't do PT:Spider-Man

it was me, Nile!

Ever just... kinda... ever so slightly... feel like people around you might be... possibly... being set up as scapegoats?

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

Attention Magic Players!

I made a video about my PT experience

I was debating whether to make it, so it's not perfect, but I think Pro Tour content of any quality stresses the importance of competitive Magic

Watch at the link below thx :)

"Did those parasitic YouTubers poison the well of our beloved Spider-Man set before you got a chance to form your own opinion?? Let us know who we can blame - over any internal factors - during our next shareholder meeting!"

i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

"to what degree did negative influence commentary impact your perceptions of the spiderman set"

A series of Instagram comments:

i recently applied to a wendys and the ai chatbot immediately gave me an interview date and time. when i got there they told me "oh we're actually not hiring it just automatically does that"

@atbashhang Bro I used to work at Auntie Anne's and the amount of people I had to turn away because the Al chatbot did the same thing and gave them an interview time when we weren't supposed to take any made me feel bad every time

I dunno what I want it to be yet but something I haven't really done in a long, LONG time is practice fundamentals. Like whether that's rudiments or drills or vod reviews or whatever but I haven't put dedicated eat your veggies practice into anything in a long long time if I'm honest with myself

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

i am literally never not tapping the "we need to fund public education and open the schools" sign. there is no moment or topic in which the dearth of basic reading comprehension is not a major force preventing any deeper discussion. a lot of people are functionally meat-based LLMs who parrot tokens.

pork, cheese, broccoli rabe @garlicbuffalo.gobirds.biz · 3d

so one of the things I’ve started to realize with having a notable following On Here is exactly how much of a reading comprehension problem we have in this country

Yes, but marketing and capitalism and sunk cost (and a lack of regulation) have created this heinous pseudo monopoly that's forcing this garbage down everyone's throats because they spent $50billion or whatever on a shiny hammer so they have to sell you the idea everything else is a nail
