the new MTG set takes place in a plane where everyone's cute forest creatures and humans/elves/etc that port in are transformed via Disney magic into goofy animal versions of themselves. which means MTG is taking canon positions on planeswalker fursonas. i do not think they've thought this through.

The thing I get from this is that the issue was never actually about criticism, it was about who gets to do it.

I don't love Biden. I really don't. But it is just fucking ridiculous to have weathered YEARS of people telling me to stop criticizing him because it will suppress the vote, only to have people with way more power than me do *this.*

Lady Maria also has the benefit of (sort of) being a character we have a strong emotional investment toward.

That fight made me a better player! It taught me how to parry. I couldn’t beat the final boss of the Bloodborne base game until I figured out parrying from Lady Maria.

There’s a similar boss in Bloodborne named Lady Maria, who is widely seen as one of the company’s best, a position with which I agree. She’s hard as hell, but feels “fair.” Malenia’s healing is so powerful that fighting her feels like a slog.

I still haven’t beaten Malenia yet. A friend and I came close, but her reputation as one of FS’s toughest* bosses is well-earned. *Although some might say she’s one of FS’s most _bullshit_ bosses.

I stopped handwringing about Biden's debate performance about 2 days after it happened. I've basically completely forgotten it after the supreme court was like "Hey maybe we should have kings again? that sounds pretty neat" I just do not give a shit right now. This is what we got.

Found some spooky woods in Elden Ring, and my horse disappeared. Message said it was frightened and couldn't be called. Then found about a dozen messages expressing terror. I walked further in... and nothing. Further still... and nothing except sheep with fiery eyes.

Love love love this movie, but the new Blu-ray I bought opens with a frustrated message from Dan O’Bannon telling people it’s a comedy. I know that! Scolding the audience at the start is a bad vibe!

I think Lizzy Caplan is in, if not the pilot, then a very early episode as a background character. They at least knew some parts of it.

Every day, I'm thinking "can't believe I still need to go to work like everything's normal." (To be fair, even when things weren't so bad, I was routinely thinking "can't believe I gotta go to work _again_.")

She absolutely should, and this is the best, most likely method of undoing this atrocity. But, and I'm not trying to sound like a doomer, SCOTUS could find a way around it. (After the 14th Amendment was ratified, a SCOTUS dominated by ex-Confederates basically said 1 of the clauses was meaningless.)

Your instinct that it would be exceedingly difficult for a case to get back to SCOTUS is correct, unfortunately.

I think a prosecutor _could_ charge, but it would be very unlikely. Even more unlikely than it already is for prosecutors to charge presidents. But if they did, and it was thrown out, they could appeal it.
