Do you like Jace? Or think he sucks so bad? I assembled a team of EXPERTS (and me) to talk why he's not just a boring emo wiener. (but he is and I love him for it)

Hell yeah I’m a Canadian and I pay for my socialized medicine with taxes! Sure once in 2011 I got dinged for $9k while I was self employed, but in exchange for that I’ve been able to have:
A chronic condition fixed through surgery
A baby
A living father
It’s great. I love tax.
I suppose I can finally reveal something super cool! Graham and I were on the Murders at Karlov Manor Creative Text team!
When I found out I was getting the chance to contribute to a Ravnica set?
I screamed reader. The hooting and hollering was audible across town.
Plastic is destroying the environment, so my city banned plastic bags.

Hey!
If your day was bad and you need some insults that aren’t misogynistic, transphobic or racist, here you are:
Ham Goblin

Sewage Gremlin

Hey writers! Instead of describing things as "crazy" or "insane" try these:
If you're talking about something unbelievable:
ridiculous
ludicrous
wild
bizarre
absurd
preposterous
If you're talking about something stupid:
idiotic
foolish
asinine
harebrained
reckless
imprudent
Taxes fund roads, schools and healthcare things like surgery, cancer treatment and childbirth. Without them I would either be bankrupt or dead! Taxes are great and I am genuinely happy to pay them.
Alcohol is basically the BEST thing to tax, since it’s a non-essential purchase.
Thanks to TAXES, Canadians are paying $20 more for a case of beer. Last year, Justin Trudeau brought in his beer tax, which will go up every year and further drive up prices. He’s failing to make life more affordable for Canadians.
This attitude towards “pedestrian safety” makes my blood boil.
This is a real video that the RCMP put out saying that a person using a crosswalk is as much at fault as a distracted driver if they get hit.
If drivers aren’t accountable for their actions, who is?
How to be a Beautiful Woman
- elongated body
- eat prey raw
- no hair, just chitin
- elegant ambush predator
- no body hair, but three thoracic segments
- camouflage coloration
- sexual cannibalism
- just a preying mantis
Stay classy ladies!
Rakdos, Lord of Riots and Chaos, travels to another plane, immediately joins a gang, works together in a team, takes orders from someone else.
Ravnica has got to be the most naturally cooperative plane in the multiverse. They’re just built different there.
I am going to print this out and pin this to my wall and the next time my brain tells me I’m stupid and everyone hates me, I will stare at this until it capitulates.
I unfurled my limbs and sauntered over, insectile yet seductive. Clad head to toe in black, I wore a leather jacket layered over a dress that in theory, should have suggested cute, but in practice had steered firmly into intimidating, I knew I was a tall drink. Of poison.
This is Nogrina Jantaxx writing a portion of her mega-bestseller, The High Window (to fall out of).
Although critics have said her stories lack subtlety, Jantaxx makes up for it with extra helpings of sex and violence, which unfortunately for critics, most readers prefer.
But FFS knock it off with the “Graham was the one true host” crap.
It’s shitty, & it makes me feel shitty. That show had a lot of me in it, and was a mirror into the kind of jokes & editing I thought were funny.
You are basically saying the years I spent making FD were a waste.
I regret to inform you that I am now the kind of asshole who has vacationed in southern France.
Turns out Carcassone is a real banger of a destination.

I can’t stand this. These people worked so hard to make the games we love, the games that have touched and changed our lives.
No one at Wizards Of The Coast should be losing their jobs. It’s absolutely heartbreaking and destructive.
No more shelves to decorate, no more board games to put away, just me, limping through dark hallways like a C-tier cryptid moaning “do we have any more tchotchkesssss??”
Moonbase move going well honestly.
AI, a system where the intellectual labour of millions has been stolen and regurgitated, at enormous computing and energy expense, and where the end goal is to fire people we’re paying $50k a year to do creative work and replace it with an AI contract for $60k a year.
Maturity is realizing that you are not actually a Dimir agent (you want to imagine yourself as a being of knife edges, sleek cloaks and carefully tuned wit), you are a Rakdos clown. You are smiles and mayhem, laughing as the world burns because it's either that or despair.
Me: (filling a prescription for an inhaler I've been using for over a year)
Pharmacist: Be sure to rinse your mouth afterwards.
Me: Yup, I use it before I brush my teeth before bed.
Pharm: Uh, this medication has a stimulant in it...
Me, who was up until 2 am last night: OH
Picture in your mind, me just fucking YEETING a pair of crutches into the sea.
I am not not fully back to 100 percent, but I don’t need to watch around with crutches anymore and that rules.

If you have ever seen me at work, you will see that I do not like to set up camera equipment or tripods. This is not because I’m lazy, it’s because I am good at breaking things.
Here is my paper towel holder. It snapped off the base like it was made of pocky.
Good news: have been upgraded to air boot
Bad news: air boot, despite its name is too hot
Weird news: apparently this is a very uncommon injury! Very fun to have multiple medical professionals look at you and say “wow! How did that happen?!”

Hey so Feed Dump is done! I have some thoughts, indulge me!
I thought Feed Dump was really funny, and a great show.
But we’d been doing the same weekly show for over six years! That’s a long time.
Hey
@saanich
your infrastructure sucks. I have a broken ankle but am otherwise strong and healthy. But I can’t get on the bus to go to work without assistance because of this curb. Your much touted active transportation plan says this street will get improvements by… 2030.
Limited formats are my favorite way to play, so this is an emotional topic for me. I have some thoughts!
I like: the promise of less “unplayable” commons that just trick new players into making bad decks.
I worry: too many rares making every format into a “Prince” situation
Today we're talking about the future of Magic Boosters. With the release of

Brain: Boy you have so much shit to get done this week.
Me: I know! That's why it's sleep time now.
Brain: But... all the stuff!
Me: Sleep now, work in the morning.
Brain: Ok, but I'm going to wake you every 30 minutes to worry about everything you need to do.

- I met so many kind and lovely people who shared some truly amazing stories about how much our work means to them.
It is such an honor to know that our goofs can provide some much needed light in dark times. 💖
And I got to meet Aragorn!
I’m very happy with the super positive reactions our new show The Panalysts has been!
It’s a great showcase of all our strengths. More tweets later, but thanks for watching it everyone.
Well, if you're a fan of Duolingo, I'd advise you stop using it now. They just laid off most of their human staff and will be relying mostly on AI now.
I have not posted all that much about it, but did you know I am DMing a whole D&D game?
Set in Ravnica, and featuring a unique new publication called The Omenhikers Guide to the Multiverse?
It also has a whole lot of “exciting” mushrooms.
Me: WTF is my phone full?
Apple Music: hey so for the last two years I’ve been downloading every song you listen to, and all the songs on your playlists! You know, just in case!
IOS: for convenience, you have to delete each artist’s download individually!
I’m in Minneapolis for Magic Con! I’m playing in events and will be trying to draft whenever I can, so find me on the show floor or at the LRR booth!
Also this is my first con in like… almost 4 years… I hope I remember how to… person?
Holy shit excuse me???

Work conversations:
Coworker: check out this really funny goof I came up with!
Me, the human: that’s hilarious!
Me, the producer: but will this <10 second parody get a copyright strike? Impossible to tell.
Me, the bog witch: can I cast a warding spell to protect the joke?
Y'all saying that I definitely should not be giving feet pics away for free are so right. My foot is still extremely swollen, and that weird shit is definitely a premium product.
Massage therapist: Please drink lots of water and have hot baths for the next three days.
Me: I’m not really a bath person, is it really that bad?
Him: lmao, oh my god yes
Becoming increasingly aware that people will soon see a project for which my creative process can only be described as "belaboured to what is clearly a neurotic extreme."
Feeling very confident.
Watched the Mario movie with Penelope this weekend. It was very pretty! Just beautifully animated with an absolute dogshit plot. There was no character development unless absolutely necessary.
Kids are a lot smarter than this movie assumes they are.
Perhaps the greatest benefit to my workplace is the prop room has a lot of stuff to grab if your headache twists to “extremely light sensitive migraine”
