Quote with Alt. Also. I just. What. All C suite executives should be required to get a second degree in one of the humanities before getting promoted to the C suite. FFS.

Obvious and unambiguous abuser in the title role aside... A Christmas Carol literally shows us Scrooge's past. Who asked for this? A Muppet Christmas Carol already exists and is better. And this tagline is meaningless. His name is Ebenezer Scrooge. He always was Ebenezer.

A poster for the new movie, Ebenezer. It shows a picture of Johnny Depp in a Top Hat. The top line reads Johnny Depp.

The tagline reads "Before he was Scrooge he was...Ebenezer"

The title of the movie in bold red letters finishes the sentence with Ebenezer.

Only in theaters Thanksgiving.

Waking up to Lindsey Graham...

An anthropomorphic version of Death, the hooded skeleton figure at a claw machine.

He says, "At long last, Mitch McCo--- WAIT, WHAT?"

"I spoke to Mitch McConnell" reminds me of...

A photoshopped screenshot from Brooklyn 99.

The first frame is a picture of Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell on a large poster you'd see at a conference. It says "I'm happy healthy and a live" - Mitch McConnel

The second frame, Jake Peralta, played by Andy Samberg dressed in a striped button up, glasses, and a "Nutri Boom" hat says "Oh, Mitch dead".

The third frame, Charles Boyle, played by Joe Lo Truglio, dressed in a bright green polo says "Mitch real dead".

I'm ready.

The Magic the Gathering Card:

Horseshoe Crab
{2}{U}
Creature — Crab
{U}: Untap this creature.
In the final days before the disaster, all the crabs on Tolaria migrated from inlets, streams, and ponds back to the sea. No one took note.
1/3

The Magic the Gathering Card:

Cryptolith Rite
{1}{G}
Enchantment
Creatures you control have “{T}: Add one mana of any color.”
The chant was incomprehensible, but its power was unmistakable.

Ursula K LeGuin was spot on with the commodification of fantasy. I'm so tired.

An image of Emperor Palpatine as a video game character. He has an assault rifle in his hands, and a the background is a red outline of the Death Star with blue Silhouettes of three X-Wing fighters approaching it.

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their action to violence, their actors to dolls, and their truth- telling to sentimental platitude. Heroes brandish their swords, lasers, wands, as mechanically as combine harvesters, reaping profits. Profoundly disturbing moral choices are sanitized, made cute, made safe. The passionately conceived ideas of the great story-tellers are copied, stereotyped, reduced to toys, molded in bright-colored plastic, advertised, sold, broken, junked, replaceable, interchangeable.

Besides the steal of getting Dragon Reborn for that price... If you know why a Wheel of Time book next to a book about John Glenn is something I had to take a picture of, you’re cool. #WheelOfTime

A picture of paperback copies of The Dragon Reborn next to copies of John Glenn: A Memoir on a sale rack at Dollar General. Both books have 3 dollar stickers on them

A photoshopped image from an early copy of "Das Capital" by Karl Marx. The page has been photoshopped to read:

When it comes to fantasy settings like D&D or Age of Sigmar, I'm a fan of angels over demons. But it seems like so many are the opposite. Both are cool.

The "I Like This" meme from Top Car.

In both panels are a red Ford sedan, a white Volkswagen sedan, a man in a red cardigan, and a man in a white rolled up button up shirt.

The top panel has a man in a red cardigan say "This is brilliant", pointing to a red car. The man is labeled "Fantasy Games" and the car is labeled "Demons".

In the second panel, the man in the white button up gestures to the white car and says "but I like this". The car is labeled "Angels".

A Sister of Battle from Warhammer 40k, a woman with short white hair in black armor with gold trim. She has a fleur de lis tattooed on her cheek, her cauldron is decorated with a sword surrounded by angel wings in white.

She says "ewwww. That's definitely heresy."

With alt text. The Loony Toons opera episode, while great in many ways, impacted the public perception of opera as a medium in ways that as an opera fan, I’m not fond of. Phantom of the Opera, while great as well, also slots in this category.

An image of Bugs Bunny, the classic cartoon grey and white bunny.

He glances to the left and holds folded paper in his gloved hands.

NVIDIA literally doing the meme.

Principal Skinner from the Simpsons.

He asks, “Am I out of touch?”

He then lets fits his head and says “no, it’s the gamers who are wrong.”

A stick figure comic.

First panel is a figure on the outside, and a circle on the left of him

Second panel, someone pops out and gives a thumbs up.

Third panel is a figure on the outside of the circle again

With Alt Text. Books, plays, and poetry have this thing called subtext. Whatever this “tool” would do would lose all that.

A Reddit ad for Magibook. It reads:

Turn HARD books into EAST books with Magibook! Maximize your reading potential and avoid difficult language today.

A graphic shows a quote from the Great Gatsby with the book cover that features the white car from the book. On the left is the opening lines as they appear, “ in my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.”

An arrow draws to the “easy quote” that reads, “ when I was young. My dad told me something I still think about.”

With Alt Text because it’s clear WOTC doesn’t need HP, and the subtext to me reads “we aren’t going anywhere near HP”.

A comment from the WOTC community team on the Magic subreddit asking a question about a Harry Potter crossover. The comment reads:

The Magic Multiverse has its own school of Magic at Strixhaven with plenty of secrets still to explore. Our Universes Beyond Roadmap currently doesn’t have us visiting any others.

Kathleen Kennedy stepping down from Lucasfilm is giving some on Reddit a fuckton of new copium supply. @clarissadelune.bsky.social I need someone else to laugh at this much copium with.

A Reddit comment that reads “Filoni will retcon the sequel trilogy with a quality one.”

DW from Arthur. A cartoon aardvark in a white shirt with a pink overall dress.

The first frame is her standing at a door with a yellow sign that reads “danger”.

The second frame is pulled back, DW is labeled “Elayne” and she says “that sign won’t stop me because MIN’S VISION”.

Repost with alt text. Use #AltText. You could not pay me enough money for me to come close to that game. And even though it’s free, JKR would still get money because of how Epic does their “free deals”.

A screenshot of the Free Games from the Epic Games Store.

On the left is the cover art for Hogwarts Legacy with a banner reading “free now” at the bottom, on the right, a purple wrapped box with a green crossed Christmas bow and a banner reading mystery box.

Always reminded of this Simpsons moment.

Two screenshots from the Simpsons on top of each other in one image.

The top is a picture of the Republican National Convention, people are cheering, and two on a podium have their arms raised in celebration, and there are banners that read "WE want what's worst for everyone" and "We're just plain evil".

The bottom is a picture from the Democrat National Convention with people despondent and angry. A single gray haired man in a suit stands at a podium, frowning. Two banners read "We hate life and ourselves" and "We can't govern".

There.

An altered Magic card:

Narset, Enlightened Master.

She is altered to look like a full art Korra, a young woman modeled after Inuit tribes who is bending water and fire. Behind her is the motif of a white lotus, artistically drawn.

Let's look at a card like Indoraptor, the Perfect Hybrid. As it stands cards like Doom Blade cannot target it. But with the proposed rules change to Hybrid Mana, how would that work? If you run indoraptor in a Naya Dino deck, is it no longer Jund color identity?

ndoraptor, the Perfect Hybrid
{1}{B/G}{R}
Legendary Creature — Dinosaur Mutant
Bloodthirst X (This creature enters with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the damage dealt to your opponents this turn.)
Menace
Enrage — Whenever Indoraptor is dealt damage, choose an opponent at random. Indoraptor deals damage equal to its power to that player unless they sacrifice a nontoken creature of their choice.
3/1

Doom Blade
{1}{B}
Instant
Destroy target nonblack creature.

cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful... For reference. It's DISGUSTING.

A screenshot from the official department of homeland security FaceBook.

It is a screenshot from Halo: Combat evolved. A caption reads: "Destroy the flood. JOIN. ICE. GOV". A single description from the poster reads above it, "finishing this fight", a reference to a quote from halo 2.

Me every time I finish the series:

A screenshot from Futurama, the final episode of the Comedy Central run. An elderly Fry, skin wrinkling and spots on his forehead from age, with cream color hair wearing his characteristic red jacket and white t-shirt and elderly Leela with gray hair, and skin wrinkles wearing her characteristic tank top look into each other's eyes lovingly. Fry says, "what you say? Wanna go around again?"
