@LupeFiasco I don’t want AI rap, cancel that shit

@BuckinghamWyatt @Unfilteredboss1 Because if she wins Iowa, she’s already won WI, PA, GA, MI, NM and NV?

@Unfilteredboss1 Easy there Boss… I don’t think anyone on either side of the aisle genuinely thinks Harris is winning Iowa. IF Harris camp thought that - they would have invested resources into the state. Why isn’t Harris campaigning there?

The Selzer poll is devastating for Donald Trump! Iowa 🔵 Kamala Harris 47 (+3) 🔴 Donald Trump 44 This is a nuke of the highest order! My Gawd!

@alsonnenberg29 @WisconnyJonny @Unfilteredboss1 The polls speak for themselves- Iowans cry out for black presidents.

@WisconnyJonny @Unfilteredboss1 Sounds like Kamala’s internal polling and the Iowa Dems polling are both completely off too as they’ve spent no time and money here when apparently we are back to being a swing state 😂

@PleasantKenobi At least ‘these cards are powerful, and if you’re playing them, you should know they’re powerful’ is more objective than a self-evaluation of power level vibes. If you’re playing jank with all the fast mana or stax pieces, are you really playing jank?

This is just "my deck is a 7" with extra steps, and those extra steps are solidifying this idea in some players minds that certain expensive cards make you the threat at the table even when playing the derpiest deck possible. It sounds... borderline pointless?

@TheHermitDruid What’s the spice mix you use for spiced hot chocolate? I’m thinking of making a hazelnut granola seasoned something like that and I recalled you showing off a recipe ages ago.

@storytellerdave …Most paper is made from cotton?

Today I learned that money isn't made with paper. It's mostly cotton. United States currency is made with COTTON.

@MittRomney @AnnRomney Nightmare blunt rotation

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!

@WaywardRabbler @RapidsB_ Try closer to 43CE, the Roman Empire was diverse as hell.

@RapidsB_ If London was ever 100% white, it hasn't been since at least the 15th century. In fact they originally colonized Sierra Leone with "poor blacks" they wanted to get off the streets.

@Patryk87837486 Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Under socialism, every city will look like this 👇👇

@TheHermitDruid When the fuck was London last 100% white? The Roman Empire was diverse as hell, unless he’s harkening back to the glory days before 43 CE.

100% white? Sure but. Q U I E T ? ! ? ! B R O

When the racist thing the English person says isn’t even the wildest thing in the statement I…

@ghirapurigears ‘Fuck, I need to add lands’

at the worst part of commander deck building, when you have to cut the last 45 cards

@dieworkwear Dude, it’s a metaphor, and a pretty fucking brilliant one at that.

Vimes Boot Theory is a nice little theory that makes people think they're unfairly getting duped by the system. But it's simply not true. I think most people don't know how much it costs to buy and maintain well-made things. Let's do the math: There are three main ways to produce well-made shoes: handwelting, Goodyear welting, and Blake construction. Let's review some of the costs of each. - Handwelted bespoke shoes from the West End start around $3.5k. Most are closer to $5k. - Handwelted ready-made shoes cost about $600 (Vass) to $1.5k (Saint Crispins). Meermin has a limited line produced in China for about $300. For the purposes of this tweet, I'm lumping Goodyear welting and Blake construction together, as they're basically the same on the ready-made market. - Goodyear welted and Blake stitched shoes will cost you anywhere from $250 (Meermin) to $1,500 (John Lobb, Edward Green). So the upfront cost here can range anywhere from $250 to $5k. Remember you have to double this, as well-made shoes should be given a day of rest between each wearing. If you wear the same pair of shoes every day, you will prematurely break them down beyond repair, as the sweat from your feet will ruin the uppers. So you need at least two pairs of shoes to rotate through. This means your upfront cost is now anywhere from $500 to $10k. Now you have your shoes. You will have to resole them about every five years, depending on how much you walk (some may get a little more time between each resole, some a little less. But let's say five years). There are two ways to resole shoes. You can give them to your local cobbler, who will charge about $100. The downside is that this person is unlikely to have the original last on which the uppers were made. When you resole shoes, you are effectively removing the spine. So the uppers can get all floppy and distorted out of shape. On the upside, sending these to your local cobbler means that you only pay $100. But if the shoes have been made on a very well-crafted last (e.g. bespoke) or if you're finicky about quality, you will want to send them back to the original manufacturer. Sending shoes back to the original manufacturer will also incur some costs. If you're based in the US, this means sending things back to England or even Romania (as I have done). Shipping charges here can be expensive. A proper recrafting on Goodyear welted shoes can cost anywhere from $150 (Allen Edmonds) to $450 (Edward Green). A proper recrafting of handwelted bespoke shoes can cost as much as $1k. Remember: this is on top of your upfront cost. This is what you pay every five years to replace the sole. Most people are not even spending $200 on a pair of shoes. They may spend $100 every two or three years. In ten years' time, they've spent maybe $300 on footwear. The person who's buying high-end, well-made shoes will have spent $250 in upfront costs and about an additional $100 for resoling. Double this because they need to buy at least two pairs of shoes. And add shipping charges if they are sending things back to the original manufacturer. In ten years' time, they've easily spent more. The main reason for buying high-end, well-made things is not financial. It's because you will love your wardrobe in the end. It feels nice to be able to keep a pair of shoes or boots you've grown fond of, rather than throwing them away (see pics below). They also look nicer in outfits. But the poor are not being tricked into spending more. It's expensive to own nice things!

@GoldwagNathan ‘Executed by the local authorities’ There we go, that’s why there would be records. Romans wrote *everything* down.

There is no reason to think we'd have any Roman records of a messianic Jewish cult leader on the fringes of the Empire who was executed by local authorities for being a troublemaker.

@ItsDanSheehan Adobo, ras el hanout, garam masala, whatever spice blend tickles your fancy. Coat your veggies in oil and throw in a few tablespoons to coat (and salt, if if the mix is unsalted), and you’re good.

@TheHermitDruid Im partial to a 9/11 being a Manhattan with two shots of fireball.

I gotta stop telling stories about my life on here my notifications are fucked

@MegumiBandicot Fucking Deepnest.

Name the game.

@golgariguy I’m still upset WotC had the foresight to say non-artifact.

@PhilKadath @danlehnermusic Do yourself a favor- go to your local art museum and find a Rothko. When you do, notice he hangs with O’Keefe and Pollock, because he was modern, but not with Warhol or Close, because they’re postmodern. WRT postmodernism, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

@brute_tom @danlehnermusic Sorry, postmodern thought says everything is open to personal interpretation, meaning, I get to decide, and I say it's upside down. Actually, I changed my mind. This month, it's sideways. Also, yes, I'm acting a tool. Just like every other postmodernist does every day.

When you see a Rothko in person, you can let it radiate and hum, the way the colors are framed and how they sit next to each other allowing you to feel something you can’t describe. It’s impossible to do with AI even if you had a perfect prompt

@TylerAlterman Because people don’t go to doctors or virologists to get answers as to why something good happened to them. There are definitely neutral/positive viruses, but aside from curiosity… why spend lab time and money on it?

This feels like a dumb question but…why aren’t there more viruses that *improve* humans? Wouldn’t such viruses be selected for over time, since ppl would be actively trying to contract the virus? Like “I heard bloopovirus improves digestion & skin, I’m gonna go try to get it” ?

@PhilKadath @danlehnermusic *sigh* A) yes, the artist gets to decide. That’s how it works. B) you’re accusing *Mark Fucking Rothko* of being a tool? He famously displayed art by pre-teen students alongside his own work in a gallery. What an asshole, right! C) I think I know who’s being a tool.

@brute_tom @danlehnermusic Who says he is right? And don't tell he gets to choose. The artist is but a tool. And Rothko is a tool, no doubt.
