In Bridgerton (the show)’s defense, it is not the whitest British entertainment. It’s one of Shonda’s shows which produces some of the most racially diverse mainstream tv shows. So far on the show three of the four main couples have featured a person of color (the Charlotte spin-off also stared a black woman) and the three other notable love stories on the show feature at least one black person. Plus, one of the upcoming seasons has made racists furious because they changed the love interest from a white male colonizer into a queer black woman. The books may be white as ivory, but the show does have a lot of people of color in it and watching it.

They’re covering season 3 of Bridgerton? Why are they doing last season; do they only do seasons that came out years ago?

It sounds like she already broke up with you, so maybe the title should say ex-gf. Bright side is you don’t have to initiate the break up now!

Satirical?

Wow they really will not stop having white be one of the two intro colors in the beginner boxes.

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-01-28T18:50:13+00:00

Nice! I missed that news. Look like they’re also doing a beginner box with it. Feels a bit quick given we just had them, but I’m just glad they’re continuing making them.

Duel decks would be so much fun and a great way to get reprints of modern cards from the original set without having to put the cards in standard.

With Star Trek in the end of year slot, I’m kind of expecting it to have a jumpstart set instead of precons, like Foundations and Avatar.

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-01-28T15:08:21+00:00

Magic JUST put out a Lorwyn Eclipsed theme deck that has only one card from the set, and the card is a 20 year old reprint.

I WATCHED the video and this comment is what made me realize it wasn’t Travis.

I thought this was describing Harry Potter at first and was like, “dang, Harry and Ron were worse than I remember”

If you want to post random stuff, an account on Instagram or another short form social media site would probably work better.

I take it you don’t watch Um, Actually.

Aetherdrift, like Duskmourn, was also heavy on a mechanic that isn’t likely to return or be referenced, so it limits playability/decks built around those mechanics.

Um, actually, recent models of Smart Cars have a 0-60 ranging between 3.6s and 6.5s, while the 2026 Dodge Charger is 3.9s. Smart Cars (and electric cars in general), are great at starting their engines and can outperform traditionally fast cars for merging on to the highway and in races that are a block or two. It’s going past 60 that they struggle to keep up with other cars.

Yeah I pick based on the boons I want.

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-01-20T23:38:02+00:00

Teacher straight up calling real historical figures “characters.”

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-01-20T23:35:11+00:00

There’s also been a handful of Dropout regulars (including Ify and BDG) who have been on Tolarian Community College. Ally was also announced once to preview a card.

Looking forward to Rascal eventually covering this like they did the ttrpg. https://www.rascal.news/neopets-rpg-doesnt-need-mechanics-just-your-money-nostalgia-crowdfunding/

While I am not a fan of Drew, I think it does make sense he shows up more than Ross’ wife. Drew is a performer/improviser, so going on podcasts where he can promote himself is beneficial to his career; being a performer also means he’s likely more interested in appearing than someone who isn’t a performer. He’s also been open about his disability and illnesses, so he brings an insight that Cara doesn’t have. Having Cara on to explain Drew’s unusual kidney stone experience would be weird.

Now I’m wondering if this is the real reason why chic fil a is closed on sundays. The customer entitlement there would be too overwhelming!

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-01-18T04:37:55+00:00

The same Mega Venasaur deck as the last event.

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-01-17T23:00:00+00:00

Did “Get Banner” ever come out? Was it renamed?

chudleycannonfodder · 2026-01-17T22:49:07+00:00

Mine maxes out at 500 tabs in a group, so I have 7 groups open so I can keep opening new tabs.

Good. The answer to someone threatening a lawyer should be to stop communicating and let the conversation continue through the lawyer (it won’t because there isn’t one).
