I saw an ad yesterday for a TV special? Series? Where they had a modern-dressed AI houdini who claimed to have been "resurrected from the dead" by AI. I think AI people don't know what a biopic is? Or that watching someone fake doing the Houdini stuff isn't as cool as a guy doing it

Continuing the trend of not playing any regular magic: 1-0-1 in a custom desert Hellscube! Drafted a pretty crazy UR value deck. A blast to read and play, but of course the draft and games take very long when you have to read every card.

1-1-1 in The Floor is Lava. My head hurts and im hungry and the draft and games took so long. Very cool cube but too technical and too swingy and too slow to play to try to bring it back to the cube group

Happy trans day of visibility. It's my first year teaching ata school where my students will be openly homophobic and transphobic (mostly ina learned, unthinking way) and I'm expected to stay "politically neutral" which is tough. Trying to find the right ways to do it still.
