I’m gonna stop Tweeting here and will likely delete all my past data, and I’m going to start a new secret personal twitter that doesn’t have thousands of Magic eyes on me. If you know me IRL and want to know what it is, respond to this and I’ll let you know

Cancelling update: I did some research, CANCEL IT WITH FIRE NOW

[Tom LaPille @tomlapille]

I don’t know how I feel overall about the phenomenon of “cancelling” creators, but I do know I’m much more willing to cancel hard right wing people who are LGBT or racial minorities. If you’re in a target group yourself, you ought to understand what you’re condoning for others.

@kellydigges @amandathegreat I meant metaphorical sets, not literal Magic sets, oops

[Tom LaPille @tomlapille]

@kellydigges @amandathegreat It’s funny that War of the Spark and Endgame are happening so close to each other. Let’s burn some sets down baby

Hairspray has not aged very well

Further hypothesis: A publication or news show can't simultaneously induce anger on the right and the left. So the high-minded, politically neutral news outlet like e.g. the NYT or WaPo used to be, is a thing of the past. Now they have to pick sides. Certainly the NYT has.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Hypothesis: Maybe news has become a business (like alcohol and virtual goods) where revenue is disproportionately driven by heavy consumers (aka "whales"), and they are driving this. Maybe 5% of the population is insatiably angry. Talk radio suggests this is plausible.

Big Bang Theory can go fuck itself

[Michi: Adorable Tiny Demon 🔥🇵🇭🇺🇸🍜📖🦄 @GeekMelange]

On the topic of annoying gatekeeper nerdbros, you know what really annoys me? That the Big Bang dudes still get held up as the popular notion of what nerd dudes are like. Fuck those guys. You know who are awesome pop culture nerd dude characters? Hardison & Chidi.

Warren's candidacy is a bet that elections are about policy rather than identity. I hope she's right, and I fear she isn't.

How she does among rural voters will be a key test.

@mtgaaron @Murk_Lurker @samstod You could at least give flash to the aura :D

[Tom LaPille @tomlapille]

I dreamed last night that I got into a fairly heated argument with Bill Rose about whether Zephid or Pearl Lake Ancient was cooler. @samstod @mtgaaron @Murk_Lurker

[Tom LaPille @tomlapille]

@mtgaaron @Murk_Lurker @samstod Why would you go there and not to the “bounce three lands” thing, are you a monster

[Tom LaPille @tomlapille]

@Murk_Lurker @mtgaaron @samstod AND HAS PROWESS

[Tom LaPille @tomlapille]

@mtgaaron @Murk_Lurker @samstod Put that in the Time Spiral 3 file stat

[Tom LaPille @tomlapille]

@Murk_Lurker @samstod @mtgaaron You and I were on the right team. Bill was on team Zephid and obviously wrong

[Valerie Halla @valeriehalla]

i think it's really fucked up that we just consider it a normal part of life for kids to grow up and realize that literally everything teachers told them about sex and drugs were lies
