Wizardry at its best

Milo the millennial wizard hiding out in their tower

Me reading The Brothers' War and starting to like Urza regardless of the fact that I wanted to hate him to the end of time.

Also, shout out to Tawnos.

"By all the gods of Yotia!" shouted Tawnos, and Urza jumped at the sound of the younger man's voice. "We have been running and hiding for three years now. I delivered your son, yes your son in the middle of a thunderstorm. I bring them all the way here, and you don't want to see them? Do you hate her so much?" Urza turned pale, and Tawnos was afraid the older man was going to flinch, to flee, to pull back further within himself. "No," he said at last. "It's not that. Not entirely. It's just that I failed. I failed to see what was coming. I failed to anticipate my brother's plans. I failed her, and I failed her nation." "And I failed," said Tawnos grimly. "And she failed. We've had to live with that failure every step of the way from Kroog. Is that what it is, Urza? Are you ashamed that you're just as fallible as the rest of us?"

Younger Urza is interesting in his need to be infallible but older Urza has such an air of legend no one else seems to realize until it's too late that he as a general rule is making some kind of mistake.

hot take i think that a website being able to ban users for "no reason at all" is a very bad thing, all websites should be able to prove that a user has broken their guidelines or terms of service in order to ban them

[infectiouspiss]

users who get banned should be told WHY they're banned and given an opportunity to talk to a person when appealing their ban, automated "nah ur still banned" replies shouldn't be allowed on any website.

a user broke a guideline? which ones? and which post/reply/message/ask broke them?

a post is mass reported? sure thing a temporary auto ban is fine BUT ONLY IF A HUMAN REVIEWER THEN LOOKS AT IT.

a post is reported, flagged, appealed, and has the flag removed? that post should no longer be able to have that flag re-applied. because a human looked at it and decided it was fine.

a user submits multiple reports that all turn out to be false? ban that user for abusing the reporting system.

all of this seems so simple but it's just ?? not happening

i hate how they market alexa as a ‘member of the family’ like that’s SO fucking blatantly insidious and terrifying also if i wanted an untrustworthy/cold/emotionless machine in my life i’d just talk to my fuckin father

Truly do not blame Alexa or these people. Alexa could've been everything it needed to be and a good source of communication and support for lonely people but corporate surveillance won out.

Cassie aand Marco love Jake soooooo much, so you should too.

[tomberensonsghost]

You are only saying 'he is boring' because you think he's not interesting. I am saying 'grow up'.

[sarifel-corrisafid-ilxhel]

I tried growing up and it made me miserable, so I must respectfully decline. :(

[magnus-t-wizard]

Grew up and realized he wasn't boring. Just a kid who shouldn't have been leader, crumbled under the pressure, did worse and worse things as he collapsed, got around a war crime trial, and a victim of circumstance.

[confusedfeelsfangirl]

I’ve determined I am an Urza hater.

He gets too much credit for solving issues he caused in the first place with his disproportionate ego.

[leebrontide]

Ok the US Attorney General says that she will remove ICE if MN drops all our sanctuary laws, complies with ICE, hands over all our SNAP, Medicaid and voter rolls. They demand control over our voter registration so they can "ensure free and fair elections".

They want to control our elections.

I am dead serious people call your representatives. Get volunteering. Get protesting. Get LOUD.

They released a letter full of straight up lies. Spread the truth. MAKE NOISE.

How interesting. How very interesting. They rejected my Blaze of this post.

Well, y'all. Make of this what you will, eh?

[a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark]

Then I guess we'll just have to Blaze it the old fashioned way, eh?

[megpie71]

Boosting signal. AGAIN.

[liberalsarecool]

ICE is an unconstitutional attack on States' Rights by a party who used to always defend States' Rights.

MAGA betraying their core values, yet again.

[c3rvida3]

First 14 people who come to my table at Flora's benefit get to be my Valentine. After that, you're FUCKED. I did NOT bring enough for the whole class.

[c3rvida3]

Also, I guess here are examples of what I make. If you're a hater and need a reason to come other than the fourteen-in-a-lifetime chance to be my Valentine.

Homeland Security shutdown grows more likely as Republicans rebuff Democrats' ICE demands

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Democrats' demands for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.

Democrats say they will not vote for a DHS spending bill when funding runs out unless there are “dramatic changes” at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal law enforcement agencies in the wake of the fatal shootings of two protesters in Minneapolis last month.

The Democratic leaders, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, released an expanded list of 10 detailed proposals on Wednesday night for restraining President Donald Trump’s aggressive campaign of immigration enforcement. Among the demands are a requirement for judicial warrants, better identification of DHS officers, new use of force standards and a stop to racial profiling.

Republicans will destroy a thriving econony and decades of NATO allyship to avoid releasing the Epstein Files and expose Trump's child rape.

Denmark is our ally. Trump is a Russian asset.

The sides are so easy to pick.
