Looks our first post-phyrexian palette cleanser leans into magical and the fairy tale. Not sure how I feel about this endless sleep threat, but we'll see how it plays out.

 

This is an absolutely spectacular long form article from NYT that walks through small communities in mesopotamia, and how large political and economic changes have made them among the first to experience climate change as a life-threatening crisis. It also foreshadows water wars and how they could increasingly become a part of our political climate.

Among the wealthy there will always be the search for the rare and exotic. I'm not surprised that this has become some kind of distorted 'destination"

What could possibly be the value proposition here?

Guinea is hard to find. Where in PA? That's where I'm at but I haven't heard of this place.

I had hope that this would be a blip of an assault and a ceasefire would be brokered. Now, it feels almost certain that one of the most cursed regions in the world is going to be plunged into a civil war without a clear justification, and where everyone loses.

Climate change has been particularly unsettling this summer because it has felt like a constant reminder that it can't be escaped. Even if you aren't in Florida or Arizona or Greenland, even if you feel like you're insulated up in Vermont or Canada -- bam, 11 inches of rain in 24 hours.

Still need to vote. Cockroaches are resilient so it doesn't do any good to write him off prematurely

I'm down! The more turn-based games the better. Final Fantasy tactics is one of the best games of all time

 

And if so, who is the play? James Robinson was just signed by the Giants. While I love him on a personal level, it's doubtful to me at this point that he's going to be a meaningful fantasy contributor.

I'm not surprised at all. Even if I WANTED to move, we wouldn't be able to afford to buy our house back on the open market. We got lucky, and now we're stuck.

Building or buying up in this market feels like a dream, so we're slowly improving the house we have to fit our needs.

My wife got me a Fitbit, I think the Inspire 3, and it has more than enough functionality for me as a casual runner. I'm happy with it.

Fascinating. This is way more buttoned up and controlled than I thought it would be.

Great article. If Morocco's claim is rejected, what's stopping Algeria from trying to step into that power vacuum? Does Western Sahara have any sort of organized military that could resist against armed conflict over its resources?

I wouldn't be surprised if we just saw the region become a capitalism pseudo-country, with US/China coming in to buy off the resources.

I like the concept of being able to talk openly about mens' issues. That liberation name is unfortunate; in my opinion, it definitely sounds at least apologetic towards misogyny. What do we have to be liberated from?
